What’s going on in my life…

My classes start in a week. Next Wednesday. I already have reading assignments. These teachers are being very proactive and I don’t like it. I am taking a basic philosophy class. Last semester I started taking this upper philosophy class, and it sucked, so I petitioned to have a different one count (one that I had already taken) but what I didn’t realize was that it was fulfilling a requirement, and it can’t count for both so now I need another class. Thankfully this one is easier than the one I was going to be required to take. I hope that kind of makes sense. This teacher sent out the syllabus and it’s a very… odd… class. All writing, no tests, and it’s not about the material but “how the material influences you”… so it’s like a self discovery class. Gee thanks.

I’m also taking a class about how to use power point and the internet in educational settings. Hahahaha. Do you know what a waste of time this is for me? Huge! I have been helping people with this class forever, but I already know! Plus, it’s not actually applicable to my supposed profession as an interpreter. Great. Waste my time. No big deal. Only costs a butt load of money.

Then there is the dreaded educational psychology class that every one says is really hard. The teacher has already assigned reading. I hate reading. But only some times. Because apparently I kind of like reading. I hate required reading…? Yeah. That covers it.

AND THEN! THEN THEN THEN! I have… my internship. Yeah. It should be interesting. Fun. A good learning opportunity. I don’t know where I am going to do it, but I know that I should probably go apply for the one on campus so that if the one at the middle school near me doesn’t open up, at least I’m not behind.

I am kind of nervous. I don’t feel like I’m ready for this level… actually interpreting. I’ve done it before, but I am still nervous. Ah!

Wish me luck…

If I can find my helmet, I am going to try and ride my bike to campus and back today. I am trying to convince myself I don’t want to spend the money on a parking pass, and the gas required to drive there and back every day. It is a three mile trip each way. That doesn’t seem so bad in my mind, but it might be… or there might be some ridiculous hill. I don’t know. But I should probably just get to it. I don’t want the first time I try to be the first day of class. But I guess that wouldn’t be too bad. My first class is at 1:30. I don’t even know how long it takes people to ride a bike three miles! Gah. I wish I were more confident in myself. I also wish I knew where my helmet was.

Brain dump.

I’ve been feeling so absent recently.

I think I’m sick. My lungs are so tight, and I’m all wheezy and sniffly and the worst cough ever.

Well, it’s actually my favorite kind of cough. The very satisfying one that doesn’t sound like your faking it, instead it sounds like your coughing up a lung because that’s what you feel like you’re doing. Hmm… maybe I’ve thought about this too much.

And I’m tired.

BUT I’M DONE WITH SCHOOL (until next month). I took my last exam today. Umm… it may have been terrible.

I also spoke to my teacher, and she said I could do an additional extra credit paper, since I did so poorly on the first exam, but I am one of 10 students that went to class. I can’t believe how many people SKIPPED almost every class. Today I realized that there is a girl in my class that I had another class with. But I never noticed because she was never in this class. Oh well, he loss!

So… I have a recipe to post.

I need a new swimsuit.

I feel really fat.

I keep telling B-man I’m going to pick up this pile of books, but I haven’t done it yet. Hmm… I should get on that.

Shh… don’t tell my husband but I set up a recording of “A Baby Story!” Ha! Only two episodes come on a day, but they come on from 1 – 2, which is just a really inconvenient time for me. lol.

We’re going on vacation soon.

And a wedding. We’re going to a wedding this weekend.

I need sleep. So… I am going to go do that.

Sweet dreams @ 4:26 in the afternoon.

Something crazy.

School has been something crazy lately.

And when I say that, it is with the best southern accent I have and there is no “g” on the end of something.

In the next hour I am going to post a food blog, and a garden blog, but right now I just want to talk about life.

As I was saying, school. I’m almost done with this semester! Next week is the last week of classes, and then after that is a few finals and then we’re off to enjoy the first part of my summer break! I am so excited for all of the traveling and visiting that we are going to be doing.

I think this week I had/have a lot to do. I’ve already finished and turned in two projects, and I still have a paper to write to turn in on Thursday. I haven’t completely read the book, but I already know what I am going to write about. Here’s what the rest of my week looks like:

  1. Internship application (make video)
  2. Prince of Slaves paper for World Religions
  3. Quiz for Western Civilization
  4. Volunteer  TSD
  5. Write Extra Credit Papers
  6. Mail birthday presents
  7. Mail VA state taxes
  8. Clean

Yeah… cleaning is always on the list. I am disappointed in my self for not blogging the last two days, but B-man recently got me hooked-on-Heroes. I am not a big TV watcher, and I have been avoiding this show from the get-go. It’s just a little too tense for me. Even now, on some scenes, I just say “This seems like a good time to check my e-mail, no need to pause!” and I get out of there, because my poor little heart can’t stand the anxiety.

Speaking of my heart – it’s actually in really good condition. I visited the Walgreen’s Wellness Center Tour today, and had my blodd pressure, bone density, cholesterol, and a bunch of other things checked out. The only measurements that were wacky were related to my weight, and I already knew that. But apparently I have great bone density, and perfect cholesterol, and good blood pressure. If you haven’t heard of it, this program is free, and it’s kind of nifty to know this information, and it only took 15 minutes! I also got a free membership to AARP. Umm… know any one over 50 who is not an AARP member already?

Lastly, I changed the layout of my blog again. I like the other one, but I thought it was kind of confusing, and I couldn’t figure out how to customize the header and colors. The php and stylesheet were just ridiculous. So, this one is cute, and I like the yellow.

The End.

Home work.

I have a few picture blogs I want to work on… but instead I will be working on a paper about the equality (or lack there of) for woman in ancient Athens. Why? Because some one some where thinks it will benefit me. Bah!

Wish me luck as I dredge my way through this.

I don’t have any new pictures to share. It’s been so cold in the house, I mostly stay cuddled up as much as possible. PLUS… my batteries died and apparently we don’t have any more, but it’s so cold I don’t want to do and buy more at the store.

So I had been petitioning a class, and my petition was accepted! My major requires us to take this ethics class. At some point I’m sure this class was actually an applied ethics class, but now it is completely theory based. I was unhappy to find this out. So, I went and talked to my advisor, and told her about this class I had already taken which was an applied ethics class and she petitioned it for me and now I have one less class to take this semester! That was the high light of my week. On a Wednesday!
Today I started this game that Brandan really enjoys. It’s like, a game within a game. It’s called the Legacy Challenge, and it’s a part of Sims 3. Which is like… playing house, for big kids. Except in this version, you start out poor, there are no cheats allowed, and you have to *hopefully* have 10 generations live after your “founding” Sim. It’s more complicated than this, but I didn’t think it would be my kind of game. I usually start out with a Sim that is super smart and super rich. Then I give them everything they want and they don’t have to work. It gets boring. So I am trying this out. My second generation is born!
Tomorrow I have four classes…. that’s it! Yippee!!!

I can't spell any of these words.

My list is long.

My list of things I would prefer to do is longer.
  • Tonight B-man and I watched “Memoirs of a Geisha.” It was a very interesting, albeit sad and kind of stressful, movie. I did not realize that Japan had such diverse culture during WWII even. The life of the Geisha, and the meaning and “rituals” behind it were very interesting. Though, is is based on the book… which was written by a man… who was definitely not a Geisha. So… take everything with a grain of salt. Especially things men say.
  • Today I turned in beautiful, honest work. We do these reading journals, and for the fist time I didn’t just do it for the sake of doing it. I really did my homework to learn and to ask questions. This is a new thing for me. There might be more of it.
  • Tomorrow I have a test, and a presentation. I’m not really sure what I am going to do. I will probably have to take my computer tomorrow so that I can work on it. But I know I will not be able to get a lot of work done just because I really need to pay attention in my class so that I can learn. That’s how I learn… the listening.

I wish I could write more, but my husband just pointed out that I have homework and sleep to catch up on. Boo. I was enjoying this blogging thing.

Baby it's cold outside…


When I am in class I miss my husband. lol. I would rather be at home snuggling. Especially when it is cold outside.

I have been doing so much class-going and homework-doing that as soon as I am finished with that I eat and go to sleep.

Here are my classes for next semester. Biology, Intro to Econ, ASL 3, Educational Psychology, Concert Choir, and Intro to Political Science.

18 Hours total. I declared a teaching minor, and now I just need to find a major. It doesn’t really matter what I major in, as long as it’s in Arts and Sciences. ASL is not in arts and sciences, so I can’t do that. I will probably end up doing psychology or something like that. I dunno.

My schedule is really nice though. Monday is Econ lab in the morning, choir at noon, tuesdays and thursday I have class from 9:40 until 6:20, the bulk of it all. And then wednesday I have choir at noon and biology lab from 4- 5:30 and religion from 6:30 to 8. WOOT!!!

Madness I tell you… shere madness

finished my first day of classes… that was hellish.

I have buckled down. I am actually doing the assigned reading, and trying to do a bit extra so that when I eventually “fall behind” I will actually be exactly where I am supposed to be. My enlgish class is called “Inquiry into Madness” and it is very interesting, and the teacher is hilarious. We are reading “One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest, and some people in the class had already read it, and I hadn’t, so I made this ambitious desicion to read the book, before she starts assigning reading, so that it’s easier to understand the second time through. I have a problem with reading. I just don’t like it. But this book is pretty interesting, so it shall be interesting.

I also had psychology today, which was a huge auditorium style class, and I wasn’t expecting it to be so big (and neither was the teacher) but it’ll be fine as long as I sit in the front.

I also had my math class today and the only thing good to report is that I met a really cute guy. He’s not gay (as far as I can tell) and he’s older than me. We got in these groups to do the stupid word problems from the book (speaking of which… I must go look at the book because it’s not my thing…) and like, the teacher would assign a problem to the group, and this guy would have it figured out before any of us could think about it. Which, in all honesty sucks for me, because I need to be able to think things through.

I also had Choir today, which was awesome and amazing and all of those wonderful words. I love it.

Then after that I went to the Institute building and signed up for three classes. I am also going to be volunteering at the Tennessee School for the Deaf. I had a nice conversation with a man that works at the school, and he gave me some names and numbers of people to contact about volunteering there, so we shall see how things work out.

Other then that Institute was nice tonight, and then I went to the library, read a BUNCH, and now I am going to get in the shower and go to bed. Tomorrow I will wake up around 8:30, go to the gym, do some homework and then go to my one class of the day.
