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.

Back from the Beach

The beach was wonderful! I stuffed myself full of seafood :fish: I didnt get to take as many pictures as I wanted because the battery in my camera died and I didn’t have the charger. I did manage to snap a few pics, however.

Andy and Odysseus

Andy and Odysseus - the GIANT octopus raft. I bought it pre-inflated and it barely fit into Will’s 4-Runner. We could fit 4 people on it at one time. People would come from across the beach to admire the gigantic octopus :rofl:

SHARK!!

Poor Will, he lost a fight with a shark.

My souvenirs

Destin, FL has amazing shopping… a girls’ paradise! I bought 2 Polo shirts (one not pictured), a polka-dotted scarf belt, some new Teva flops, and a cute tank top.

Bob the Koala

Will also got me a new Build-A-Bear. Meet Bob the Koala. Isn’t my boyfriend a sweetie pie? :love: hehe

Here’s 3 more pics from the trip: Giant Octopus, Jaws, Fountain.

I OWNED in putt-putt on both nights we played. The first night, I got four hole-in-ones, but I still lost to Alan, the golf pro. The second night, I tied with Alan. It’s funny because most of the time when I putt-putt, I get 9s and 10s on holes because I goof off the whole time :lol: We had a great time on the trip… I wish we could have stayed longer! Will’s condo was perfect. I hope we can go back later this summer.

On a different note, my grades turned out much better than I expected. I received an A- in English — I was VERY excited because I thought I was going to get either a B or a C! I got an A in Greek/Roman Mythology and an A+ in Computer Science. I was disappointed in my Honors Spanish grade, which was a C, because that’s the first C I’ve ever received (and I’m going to work hard to make it my last as well!) I ended up with a ‘Medical Incomplete’ in Philosophy, which will turn into an A+ when I complete the work. The explanation of the incomplete is complicated, so I will save it for a later post.

I’m back at home for 2 weeks on my super-slow dial-up modem, so if I don’t return your comments, that’s why :P Summer school begins June 8 … that’s when I’ll head back to Tuscaloosa. Thanks everyone for your comments while I was on vacation - Annie, Brooke, Chette, Christine, Dionne, Jem, Jenny, kir, kitsune, leila, Melissa, Michelle, nagaki, Salome, Sanne, Tina, tuan, & Yajaira.

I’m off to relax at Will’s house for the afternoon… hope everyone has a great day! It’s good to be out of school…
