Jim Cantore currently heading to Massachusetts on assignment for Tropical Storm Danny.

Also, on the LOT8s opener that promotes TWC's music site, do I hear background music that sound like Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl"? It sounds like it

I also agree with the authorities on this one, but you gotta give her respect for her bravery. I'm 13 and I know would never, ever do that by myself! How old was Zach Sunderland?

He was 17 when he made the record.

General Discussion / 13-year-old girl denied record-breaking trip around the world

Read Story Here

So apparently, this 13-year-old dutch girl wants to beat Zach Sunderland's (the record holder from California) record for being the youngest person to sail all around the world. Dutch Authorities are denying this to happen because of safety, but her parents are supporting this decision.

I'm afraid I will have to stand by with the authorities' decision. I mean, she's 13. She's too young to go out on an extreme adventure on her own! If her parents have gone with her on this then that would be okay, but alone on the ocean where there are pirates, sharks, hurricanes, etc. is extremely dangerous.

Don't know where to put this, but...oh well.

On the personalities page on weather.com, they updated some OCMs' pictures, all are fairly recent. I just checked out Stephanie Abrams' bio and her picture is from WUWA. I really like it!

So, pretty soon I will start bouncing back up, but I will start using the PC more often. I have limits, tho, because my PC is in my older sister's room. So... no more "Stay Up With Ray" til further notice...

About college...I'm on day 2...I gotz two classes to take: Political Science and Intro to Music (both are required to take in order to transfer to a university.
I loved Beginning Algebra w/ Emphasis in Graphing class. Being in that class almost makes me feel like I am a math geek. But I do need the math in the future.

DAY TWO: College

haha, i'm gonna make this into a book...lol jk 

today is day two of college...unfortunately I had to be up at 7 to be at a class that starts at 8, little did I know...the class is a two hour class. LOL, and that class is TV Production -- I LOVE IT. there is a lecture from 8:15-9:00 and a lab from 9:00-10:00, my professor/teacher gave us a tour around the Studio Facilities, and luckily this year RAMTV6 (our on campus TV Station) is converting to Full HD -- the studio; while small, is divided up into four sets...two sets are going to be brand new, the other two are being refreshed for the HD Transition. I'm pretty stoked about my tuesday/thursday classes!

oh and if you're wondering "shouldn't he be in class until 10?!", we were released early. 

Usually in the first week of classes you may get released early because basically during the first week is all about introductions, "Get to know you" stuff, textbook information, etc. By the 2nd week, then you may get out at the time you supposed to get out, and hopefully the real work begins...haha.

That sounds like an awesome class, maybe I can find something like that here at UT, if I do I'll take it next semester.

Anyway I had my first day of the semester yesterday. First off I need to go on a rant about parking at UT.

Freshmen get the K parking pass meaning that they can only park on two lots that are on the opposite end of the campus that my classes are on, to be a Sophomore and get the C pass (regular commuter, most lots are C lots) you need 30 credit hours... I have 29 and have already been at UT for a full year! No matter how much I begged and pleaded they wouldn't give me a C pass so I told them to stick it where the sun don't shine and I parked in the C lot anyway. It is just a short walk from there to my classes. Thank goodness I didn't get a ticket and I hope I won't since my classes are so late (I'm there from 5:45 to 8:35 for two classes).

The first class I had was Micro-Computer Applications in Business (essentially computing 101) and it made me want to hang myself right there, the class is literally "this is how Windows works, this is how Office works"   

The second class was Calculus II with Business Application, first off these two huge guys walk in late smelling like cigarette smoke and one sits right in front of me so I can't see the board and the other sits to the right of me so the whole time I couldn't see and couldn't breathe. However when the professor started talking I couldn't remember how to do anything then he did a refresher on derivatives and it's all starting to come back to me so I hope I'll do well in the class.

Just make sure you don't get caught, Kyle
Speaking of parking, my college is open during construction and the traffic is HORRIBLE. All of the construction equipment are occupying about 100 parking spaces and no one is allowed to park outside the college (since my college is located in the middle of nowhere). I have some buddies that have to come to school about an hour before class starts just to find a space to park.
