cluttering up the internet since 2001

 

since I “do” get A’s….and I “can” use spell check…

Most often my classmates are not always all that smart and since everyone thinks they can get a Masters…..sometimes people enroll and this turns out to be not true for certain enrollee’s.  One of my team classmates posted this sentence today in our joint learning forum.

“…that may be true I just tend to over think and overdue things at time and sense I’m seeking an A I was willing to do so”

He wanted to put together a chart that was not required of the assignment.  Since when do we add more work to what we’re meant to do?  I find school to be on the mark.  The professor gives you an assignment you do what the professor wants of you, you get an A.  You add to it or interpret the assignment you’re own way…and it is always a disaster.  College is very much about following the rules of the boss and the teacher is always boss.

This dude can’t even properly use his spell check. (which is a free feature of the system)  SENCE I think he’s stupid I’m doing the assignment as stated, not with a chart or his stupid bullshit ideas….ie: my own “A” way….SINCE I do get A’s.  (oh check me with my big headedness…..lol….but SINCE I can spell…I overruled him!)

p.s. I think he meant “over do” not “overdue” too…and “times not time”…gahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucktard.

A

Oh my gosh how I struggled. I spent hours upon hours agonizing over gap analysis and benchmarking and learning all the new tables I had to learn. I told Rick I was not going to get the same grades in my Masters program. I told myself not to be dissapointed and to just struggle through and put forth more effort than I had in the past.

Oh…Rick, when I told you I wasn’t going to get A’s …oh how I lied.  Can you say “My wife got an A in her first masters class!”…oh I know you can. Now say it loud because I did and I’m so excited and you’re busy at work not answering your cellphone so I just had to blog about it.

what non-students do on a Sunday

Now that I’m in midair between my undergraduate program and my Masters program, I am largely bored.  I should have tons of time to blog, but it seems I’ve forgotten how to waste time effectively.  I have been reading quite a few books and you’d think I’d want to somehow document this time, but again, no such desire.

I spend my time taking long baths, reading, thinking about all the things I should be doing with all this free time, and just as I’ve always know about myself, when I have too much time on my hands, I grow bored, lethargic and un-useful.  

I have spent the majority of today doing nothing but

Washing dishes

Wondered what happened to Akismet??

Eating rice pudding

Washing comforter

Cleaning spilled mess off of living room floor (mess spilled so long ago, it was dried up in a corner where I didn’t see it!)

Read other people’s blogs

Downloaded some new songs on the Ipod

Took a long hot bath

Read two chapters in bath

Got dressed

Realized we have lost $7k in value on our house in a mere 10 months!! (zillow.com I both love and HATE you!!)

Told Rick about the $ 7K loss

Even though I said to myself, “myself, lets not tell him”

Myself did not listen

Realize that that’s the same $7k the government just gave us

We’re still even?

Shopped realtor.com and saw house I fell in love with for NOW $25k less than what we paid, with a fireplace

Put slipper socks on my cold feet

Lamented no fireplace

Wasted a lot of time

Checked student website for my last grade to post (sprinkle this one throughout my entire day!)

Think about stupid rule that says must be in “GR” status (graduated) to begin Masters program

Managed to blog

Will eat some dinner soon

The End

Since I have nothing else to stress about at the moment, aside from 7k loss, must get last grade posted to begin rush status to be in gr status so I can start spending my Sunday’s studying.  I am fucked in the head because apparently I hate all this free time. 

The REAL End

chloe - poem

I wrote this for a Creative Writing class I took a few months ago. I love her with the heat of a thousand suns, she shines in my heart with the brightness of a million moons in the night sky.  This was my meek attempt to capture her essence.  The assignment called for a poem with concrete details. I got an A.

chloe

you are soft

black, smooth

all heart

 

warm against my ankles

you’re prettier than shoes

 

your hair is greying

aging with time

play, you still do

you’re always in motion

you’re so very small

but you behave like a giant

you own control

 

i swear you talk to me

but only when it’s silent

and quiet…hush

those rooms let me hear you

deciphering

the morse code

of your wag

 

when i kiss you

you taste of soap

the ivory near your downy soft skin

right under your chin

on your wrinkled up neck

i smell my own breath

from yesterdays love

 

your feet claw me

leaving small holes in all of my good shirts

i smile when i see them

like mesh showing

in the early morning’s warm sun

love provides proof

 

your castaway hairs have sprinkled

over my crisp ironed sleeves

like pepper on mashed potatoes

like yesterday’s dinner

i always take you to work

yesterday

Every single day I think of things I could write about and every single day I don’t get around to blogging.  Yesterday was Rick’s birthday. I gave him two tickets to the Eagles concert coming to Tampa at the end of January.  It felt odd to comit to something in the year 2009 already, but it’ll be a nice thing to look forward to for both of us now. 

And what did Rick do on his birthday? HE worked. Poor guy.  However, at the end of the month now things are insane.  Sadly it is mostly due to foreclosures and people who need to be out by the end of the month.  I suppose his job is somewhat recession proof, but it’s sad that it’s for these reasons.  I do find it odd that so many people can’t pay their mortgage but have the large sum’s of money to hire movers. 

After he came home I took him out to dinner at one of our favorite places in our new neighborhood.  The St Petersburg Ale house.  I love that place because of the sports and noise.  It’s never dull there and their food is pretty good. 

After a late dinner we went to see our nephew Matthew last night.  He’s 18 months old now and he’s hilarious.  He walks around smelling everything.  I have no idea why but after he sniffs he either goes “mmm” like it smelled good or scrunches his nose like it smelled bad.  He did not talk at ALL.  Strange.  He climbed into my lap and was smelling my hair..picking up big chunks and sniffing in going “mmmm” and of course I cracked up laughing so he pulls my shirt away from my chest and sniffs and goes “mmmm”  and Rick says “I know buddy I know….it’s good stuff in there!”   It was hilarious…but perhaps you had to be there.  I was rather bummed that I forgot to grab my camera because he was certainly making some cute faces for sure.

I just finished my Creative Writing course and think I scored another perfect A.  I’m finishing an Intro to Psychology class and then it’s onto another Literature class and I will be done in mid February finishing up with an Environment (go green) type of class.

PSY/103 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY 3.00 10/21/2008 11/24/2008
ENG/125 LITERATURE IN SOCIETY 3.00 11/25/2008 01/12/2009
SCI/256 PEOPLE, SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT 3.00 01/13/2009 02/16/2009

Most of what I think about writing is far more interesting than the things I write down.   But lately life is sweet and I don’t feel the need to write at all. I’m too busy enjoying the day to day act of being in the now.  Most often I think about writing about things that happened yesterday and when yesterday is gone I’m more concerned with living in today away from the computer as much as both work and school will allow for.
