In light of Gretchen's post, I have decided that I will not, as originally intended, post my "political rant" as a public entry, rather, it will probably be protected and readable by only a few users - if you wish to be among those, feel free to comment and let me know. I would refrain from posting it at all, except that I have worked quite some ( Read more... )

1.    You measure distance in minutes. Doesn't everyone?

2.    You've ever had to switch from ''heat'' to ''air conditioning'' in the same day. Sometimes. Not very often.

3.    Stores don't have bags; they have sacks and you ''tote 'em'' not ''carry them.'' Uh, no.4.    You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it, ( Read more... )

Hey - anyone who hasn't signed this, please do. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but if they get a lot of people who feel strongly (especially about such a volatile issue) they take notice. You have until Tuesday and 300,000 signatures would be amazing ( Read more... )

Well, my dad's office is currently the neatest and most organized room in the house. Unfortunately, it is only destined to remain that way for approximately the next week. He returns home next Wednesday, and will certainly make it into chaos again before long. *sobs* I so desperately want to have the room declared some kind of landmark, and ( Read more... )

That time has come again, during which I am working on a Pauline Epistles exam! Expect to hear from me several times in the next couple of days. ;-) I've already finished one exam, and two of the three others shouldn't be too horribly difficult, we just have one essay that is on the usage and scope of a Greek word, and all of us not-Greek- ( Read more... )

Ahh... the joys of the week before finals. I am reveling in the homework load from you-know-where... and the sad part is that it's not even that much! I have one test and one paper (which I have a start on but am coming up somewhat blank) this week. The only hard stuff is the two essay tests that are coming up NEXT week. Ick. Problem: have ( Read more... )

I have ONE of my essays done! w00t!!!! I have three left. Oy vey. :-P I'm on a good start to one of them and I don't think two out of the three will be hard, but I don't understand the very last one too well. Of course the one that is done is the easiest, but at least I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. Furthermore, while I was eating ( Read more... )

Well, it's Sunday. As for those essays, I've got about a page and a half written on one of them and have started a little bit on another one. Senioritis is wretched, especially when you're just a junior. I just don't CARE. They're even interesting topics for the most part, but we already discussed them some in class and I feel like we basically ( Read more... )

Our school policies have been changed - now they start charging extra once you take more than 18 credit hours a semester. Do you know how much that does NOT work for me? THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE if I want to take 19 hours. Do you know how many hours I think I might need to take next semester? TWENTY!!!! THAT'S SIX HUNDRED EXTRA DOLLARS!!! ( Read more... )

AMANDA IS COMING THREE WEEKS FROM TOMORROW!!!! WHOO HOO!!! That means I actually get a break from school in three weeks from yesterday!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!
