An odd mix and an explanation

I have been remiss in writing in this diary -- mainly because I have been away from my computer the last few days. (YankeeBelle -- explanation at the end of this entry)
Not much has happened since the last entry -- the semester is almost over and I am so glad I still have one final exam to type up and about 7 term papers to read. I am thrilled to death about reading these papers. Sometimes I get one that is fairly interesting but mostly it is a major pain to read them. Well enough of that.
The museum is still here and that is too much about that.
I have lapsed in my non-required reading as well. I was doing so well with it for a while but recently I have been just going to sleep without reading anything. The book just sits there on the nightstand screaming at me, "pick me up and read."
(I don't actually hear it)
I remember in High school that I never read what I was supposed to read. I was always reading something else -usually what the priest would call trash --and perhaps some of it was trash. I always read the things that were assigned in lit. classes -- but I think they think I should have spent more time reading THE BOOK
--And I guess it might have been a serious draw back had I actually become a priest but now I guess I'm like most of the rest of the people who have one -- but don't read it.
Oddly I find that I still have feelings that I may have been called to service and just talked my self out of it. That would have been something Father Don
*shudder*
Not that being a priest is such a bad thing --it just wasn't for me -- or mostly I think it wasn't.
I am having a hard time with this entry I don't remember If I've written stuff about my family and their extreme hatred of me - Ill have to check and if I haven't... well there is a preview of things to come.
Oh I have some 'splaining to do --
Why did I pick your diary out of the blue and add it to a list of diaries that I like
-- Several reasons
One --living in the south I am often referred to as a Yankee or more to the point a damn Yankee
There is a difference
Yankees just visit the south
Damn Yankees move here
So there was a connection to the name Yankee
Two -- Belle is something that you still hear in the south especially around "proper" southerns
I found that the two words together formed the subtle irony that I enjoy -- I get things in movies and books that many people don't
Three-- I think you just happened to be just above my name on the recently updated diaries list one day so I looked out of curiosity because of the two reasons above
Four -- I liked what I read so I added the name to my list so I could keep up to date with the stuff you were writing -- I guess that's all
(I hope you don't mind) You can read my rambles if you want.
Well I have to read those papers at some point today So I guess now is a good time
