So, I'm really dragging on my school stuff this summer semester. I don't have two particularly hard classes. It's just that one is done by an undergraduate proff and his choice of texts is like eating sand. I just don't have the motivation to do the work ( Read more... )

I am having one of those odd days when I don't want to do anything. I find it mildly irritating, which doesn't help matters either. I will probably spend my free time today watching lectures. I definitely shouldn't write papers when I'm feeling like this. My distain for the assignments in general tends to come out in my writing when I do that... ( Read more... )

1. NEVER trust a fart once you take the first sip of colon prep ( Read more... )

Well. I survived 48 hours of chicken broth, jell-o, & explosive bowel movements as prep for the colonoscopy & endoscopy (glad they did both at once). They did a good job of knocking me out for the proceedure. I was getting a bit worried because it took a while. I guess I still have a bit of resistance to anesthesisa.

He managed to save his wife, but took a blow to the head in the process that his helmet could not protect him from ( Read more... )

New semester starts tomorrow. I am only taking six hours this summer. Seems odd to say "only" as part of a "full time" summer course. However, after the last two 12hr semesters, six almost seems trivial despite the shorter time ( Read more... )

So, for my last semester in grad school this fall, I was starting to sweat a bit about finances. The military decided last October that the TA program Chaplain Candidates, Nurses/PA's, Doctors, & Dentists use would top out at 45 hours. All of us require more than the standard 36hr MS program. I had my request for this past semester in before the ( Read more... )

So, I am giving interviews today for a receptionist. Every person has at least a bachelor's degree and several have masters degrees. I have asked two questions as baseline for truth and to see how their thought process work ( Read more... )

I'm planning on going out to a Civil War re-enactment tomorrow - Sunday. Rain is supposed to slack off. I truly hope it does since I'll be living in a tent and wet balck-powder doesn't really shoot all that well.

I wonder if I could teach my Wednesday night church kids to roll black-powder rounds...
