Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 24-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Ornithology and More

I almost bought a Parakeet today :hehe: Call me spoiled, but I hate visiting the mall and going home empty-handed. Will and I had to drive to B’ham (about an hour away from Tuscaloosa) to purchase Virgil’s Aeneid - every bookstore in Tuscaloosa was sold out of this book because the class that requires it is composed of over 300 students. We have to read through Book VI by Monday 8 AM (for my Greek/Roman Mythology Final Exam) … Speaking of finals, I thought I’d post my schedule of exams for next week:

Monday: Greek/Roman Mythology 8-10:30
Tuesday: English 8-10:30
Wednesday: Spanish 8-10:30, CS 11:30-2
Thursday: Philosophy (Forgot the time!)

Sounds like a fun week ahead of me! O_o Next weekend, however, some friends and I are heading down to Destin, Florida for rest + relaxation at Will’s condo on the beach… I can’t wait for summer break to begin!

Earlier this week, I watched the movie Big Fish. I didn’t realize that it took place in Alabama! One reason I enjoyed it so much was that it was the first movie I’ve seen that didn’t make fun of my state (Contrary to popular belief, we do wear shoes. And, I DO NOT own a pair of ugly overalls… yuck!) I LOVED the movie and I recommend it to anyone! Although for me it was a bit of a tearjerker at the end, I still really liked it :spin:

Got a big day of studying ahead of me tomorrow, so I best be heading off to bed now. Thanks to all my commenters: Christine, dodo, Jem, jessica, Katy, kitsune, leila, Melissa, Nadine, Sam, tuan - have a nice day!

    Hmm… I guess you could say that. It’s more like a strong Southern accent, though :look:

    Parakeets are gorgeous, but hard work - I think you’d have the right kind of personality to look after one though; you should have bought one! :nod:

    Parakeet… oooh I like birds… but I think they would make too much noise for my liking to have them as a pet… but you should have gotten one just for the fun of it… just imagine all the fun you would have had :) Good luck with ur exams!!!

    What a coincidence! I just watched Big Fish the other week (Friday, I believe it was?) and yeah, my boyfriend and I got teary at the end. What can I say, I get emotional when watching movies! :p
