I know quite a few don't care, but please don't rain on my parade. Some care and have kept up with me and my endeavers since I left the industry. This is for you. My EO buddies.

Well I got my grades in today. 3 As and 1 B. That's a GPA of 3.75. I'm proud of that. When I was in high school the highest I made on GPA was like a 2.2. So needless to say I'm very proud of myslef. Thanks to everyone who has been encouraging through this semester.

Attaboy! School can be tough, especially if you aren't the type to enjoy the classroom experience, but it's worth it - glad to hear you're doing well.
Do let us know if there's a graduation party, on down the road, ok?

Well I'm not that old fastman. I've just done a lot in the short time I've been on the Earth. Cheri the party is about 4 1/2 years away. If nothing else I'll try to go to the Expo the year of graduation and we have some cod ones(soda) on me. At least when I transfer to the Univeristy of Arkansas at Monticello the school building won't be right by the highway. I'm surprised I made an A in Freshman English. To tell you the truth I usually get caught by the teacher looking at the window at the trucks. She rode me hard about it at first. Until we had to write this instruction manual and mine was "How to Drive a Truck". Then we talked about and she laid off a little.

Ark, I've noticed the improvement in spelling & grammer, since you've been off getting edjumacated, but if you're a half- fast typist like me, you've gotta watch the proofreading, too: "Cod" ones?! I hate to decline, but I don't even like fish when it's beer battered- fish flavored soda sounds disgusting, lol. If I can choose my own beverage, though, it's a date! (Tell Mrs Arkjar not to fret, by then I may need a walker, lol, but I still plan to be there, and would enjoy meeting both of you)

jaminjim · Dec 14, 2007

Way to go ARK. I agree with Cheri, your spelling and grammar have dramatically Improved. Don't belive me check some of your first posts, they look like something I would have written. Stay in school.

ConfusedMuse · Dec 14, 2007

Congratulations!!!
See all your hard work did pay off.

highway star · Dec 14, 2007

Good job Ark. I agree with Cheri, she probably will need a walker by then.

that is a great idea!!! imagine jones soda who already has a turkey dinner flavor, should have a fish flavor also. someone tell them. i won't have one but i am sure there are first time innovators who will love it.
