Victory!

I have completed my first project for my computers class. I have to say for a minute there it was really touch and go, but now I am feeling much more confident. Not only did I complete the project, but I received a perfect score on it. Awesome!

My academic libraries class is however frustrating me. The lazy professor does not grade us herself, rather she puts us in groups and has everyone act as a group leader twice during the semester. The group leaders for the week have complete control over what grade you get for that lesson. I totally disagree with a grade given to me during week one. I contacted the professor and not only is there nothing I can do about it, but I am also not allowed to see the comments that the group leader made about me. What a freaking crock. I can not believe that I paid $1000 for this course only to have my stupid classmates grade me. What in the heck do we even need the professor for?

I am pretty psyched about going to see the author Mo Willems at a local bookstore tomorrow. I LOVE his books so much. I had the store place three on reserve for me. I know that is kind of a lot but I figure I can splurge every once in a while. I am off work this weekend which is exciting. Can't wait to spend some time with Charles and maybe see the babes. They are three and a half now so I guess they aren't really babes anymore. How depressing. They will probably graduate from college before I do! Ha!

Snakes on a Plane!

This week has not been too bad. So far I have kept up with homework and online discussion groups for school, which is a feat in and of itself. Work has been steadily chugging alone. We have just hired a very cool chick to replace my old partner. I am really looking forward to working with her!

Call me crazy, but I really want to see the movie Snakes on a Plane! Yes, I am extremely scared of flying, but come on! I don't think this movie is going to scare me anymore then Kill Bill did. I think that the entire premise of this movie is so ridiculous that there is no need for concern. I just want to see Sam Jackson say "What are all these MF'ing snakes doing on this MF'ing plane!" No one can deliver a line like Sam Jackson! That’s all for now.

September already?!

Talk Like A Pirate Day is almost here! Be sure to check out this awesome pirate book about Girl Pirates on the High Seas!

I can not believe it is already September!! How is that possible. I swear, this summer just flew right on by. I am settled back into school...which is of course wonderful. I am taking three courses this semester all online. I am taking: Information Sources in the Humanities, Academiv Libraries, and Foundations of Information Technology. I have to say that both Academic Libraries and Information Tech have been incredibly intense. Looks like I will need to spend around 15 hours atleast per week on homework just to keep my head above water. Luckily, I am able to use my lunch break and 15 min breaks at work to get some stuff done. I guess the short end of this is that right now pretty much sucks.

I am really lucky that Charles is out of school and so supportive of me. He is very understanding and is really trying to help me out as much as possible. I am not as pessimistic this year as I was last year. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 3 courses this fall, 3 in the spring, 2 in the summer , then I take my big COMPS exam and I am done!

Things with Squirrel are pretty good. She is now on the first floor with the other kitties. Anna and Squirrel still do not like each other one bit and sometimes they get into it. The bright side is that it is mostly just cursing and name calling. I have yet to see any physical contact between the two nut jobs so I feel like we are making slow progress.

Work is crazy. Lots o stuff to be working on. Sally and I may need to just take a vacation from all things teen by Decemeber!! Its good overall. I'd rather be busy than bored. Not to mention Sally is a great pal and super fun to work with!

Well... I guess that is all for now.
