Well, its been a while and a lot of things have happened that I have gotten to take pictures of. So here they are.


One weekend I got bored by just sitting in my room so I decided to go out and take some pictures on campus. So during my journey I got this shot of the Library here at MTSU.


This is Gracy Hall (newly renovated) and I am the RA on the second floor. Its pretty nice.


MTSU Banners decorating the sidewalk to the Rec. Center.


While I was walking around I saw some bees flying around a bush with flowers. This is a shot of a bee.


I also thought this was a pretty nice picture...


This is my building that I like to spend of most of my time in. This is the Business and Aerospace Building. I personally believe it should be the Aerospace and Business Building but hey, I'm just a student.


While walking around I discovered Randall was coming back from the airport with the boy scouts for their aviation merit badge. So I followed them around for a little bit.


These are the boy scouts... They look REALLY excited don't they?


A few days later our Area (Area II) held a program with the goal of gathering can goods to give to a local charity and educating residents on having a SAFE Spring Break. To get them to come we held a Casino Night with fake money. Each resident was required to bring ONE can good for the buy in. We gave them fake money to gamble with. When they wanted they could "cash in" their winnings for raffle tickets for a chance to win some great prizes. In all it was fun!


This is Luke (RA 3rd floor Smith) the dealer at the Texas Hold 'em table. Some of the biggest winners were from this table.


This is Justin, the RA from Gracy 3rd floor at the Black Jack Table. He wasn't busy YET (he later got REALLY busy).


Travonda (RA 1st floor Beasley) was hosting the Keriokee (spelling?) Here they are singing YMCA.


This is our Craps table. Yes it looks a lot like a Pool table but your wrong; its a Craps table. They also had a lot of fun at this table.


This is the "Tiki Tavern". Erica and Travonda were our waitresses serving MOCKtails.


This is Jesse, the President of Area Government, another helper in our Casino Night (Note the hat he is wearing is not actually his; that hat belongs to Wally (RA 3rd floor Sims) who is not pictured.


Well I finally left MTSU to go home for Spring Break. So these pictures are what I got while I was at home.....


On Friday I went with my Parents (foreground) and my Aunt and Uncle (background) to the Memphis Grizzlies game at the FedEx Forum.


This is the what the FedEx Forum looks like from where we were sitting (in Section 203 Row J). It was really neat.


Here they are playing....


I thought this was a cool shot. I got lucky that I caught him making a slam dunk.


Well on Saturday we went to the Memphis Zoo. This is near the entrance of the zoo.


On our way to see the feeding of the Sea Lions I stopped by Cat Country and took this picture of the Lions. Everytime I go to the zoo she is sticking her tongue out at me.


Well here are some shots of the Sea Lions being fed. They had them doing all kinds of tricks.


This was impressive. They taught this Sea Lion to recycle! When I get a dog I'm going to teach it how to throw away trash!!


Well we finally got into the Reptile House. These are some of my favorites. These are two tortioses about the size of basketballs....


This little tortoise was at the glass staring at me.


Now this is what I'm talking about! I wish I could have done that on Spring Break. This iguana is enjoying just laying around.


After visiting the Pandas (not pictured b/c I didn't take any b/c they were asleep and had their butts facing us) we came across this monkey. It was eating and watching me.


In the Primate Canyon I took a picture of this mother and child. Its so funny b/c all of them were against the wires watching us. They look like their in jail.


This is a male silver back gorilla. He had just slammed against a window on the other side of this enclosure scaring people when I took this shot. He certainly was NOT in a good mood while I was there.


They say when a silver back gorilla stares at you it is not a good thing..... Should I be afraid b/c he is staring right at me and did so for a while?


These two were just sitting around. They look friendly enough.


Well this one I took the last time I was at the zoo. I thought I should put it in with my zoo pictures.


Well finally, I made it back to MTSU. However before I left I heard on the news that the President of the United States would be coming to Memphis. So I talked to a friend of mine who works at Memphis and asked if she could send me some pictures of Air Force One when it arrived. She said she would try.


This was NOT taken by me but a friend of mine who works at Memphis Int'l Airport. He sent it to me via e-mail. I love this shot. I wish I could have been there in person. Oh well, maybe one day.
