anigoWell, back to work. Woohoo. But next to nothing's open today, so it only took me about 20 minutes to get here, which is swell.
Easter Dinner was ok, and I did have enough ham. The ham was delicious. I do make a pretty mean ham if I do say so myself. The pink barbie was accepted in place of an orange one and there was chocolate enough for everybody.
Do you know what I realized yesterday? I'm taking 2.5 credits this year. Students that take 3 credits are considered full time students. I'm one hair away from being a full time worker and a full time student. Jeeze! No wonder I'm overwhelmed into a quivering ball of lime jello every once in a while.
I went out and bought a new pair of jeans this weekend. I'm tired of having all my current jeans being just that little bit too snug from the winter hybernation layer that I have yet to loose - so I splurged and bought a really fine pair of low rise blue/grey jeans with just the right amount of fading in a size that fits. It's amazing what a sexy pair of jeans that fit will do for your ego. Been shakin' my booty all weekend. I may even get my belly button pierced... ;)
Oodles and oodles to do today. I could have taken today off, as Friday was a stat holiday and my day off, so I could have taken a lieu day, but I've got a whack to do, so I thought I'd come in while everybody else has taken today as a holiday and get some work done.
Got an exam tomorrow night. Studying's going along ok, but the older I get the more I realize that I've got some serious brain/learning issues. (Prepare to listen to feable excuses) I'm a serious right brain kind of individual (Or at least *I* think it's right brain... I always get my left and right confused) I am creative, inventive, great at coming up with solutions. I can't spell, I can't do math and I can't think linerally.. lineraly... lineray. Whatever. I find the older I get the worse I get at these things I'm bad at anyway. For example. Seriously. 7+6. Dunno. Gotta figure it out by going 6+6=12+1=13. 7x3? 7+7=14+7=(seriously, this is where the fingers come in.. 14+7... 13+7=20+1=21) I am a 35 year old pretty smart cookie who doesn't know what 7x3 is Please don't ask me what 7x6 is, because there's nothing nearby that works out to a derivative of 10, so I LITERALLY have to use my fingers. If it doesn't equal 10, then I'm screwed.
I read this question last night.
A critical analysis of two preferred alternatives in order to find an even better alternative for the organization to adopt is referred to as:
A) devil's advocacy.
B) dialectical inquiry.
C) cluster effect.
D) primary commitment.
And honest to god. I could have been reading it in Dutch. My eyes followed the words and the words never made it to my brain. I read it about 8 times before I gave up on the question. Now, I'm a fairly articulate individual. Big words don't frighten me. I can throw them around with the best of them. But I can not understand that sentance. I have to break it down, and picture every word to understand what it's asking. This is very annoying and appears to be getting worse as I get older. And it's not that I don't know the answer, but I just don't understand the question.
Does anybody know if there's a way to exercise the non-dominant side of your brain? (Aside from practicing the multiplication tables)
Ok, I'm going to exercise at least the side that *is* working and get some work done.
Hope everybody has a swell day!
