When was that, then? So, Saturday, I will be on the water, hopefully it will be warmer by then! For as much fun as this class is going to be, I will be missing my Gator Football. Had I thought this through a little more carefully, I probably would not have signed up... LOL! Saturday night A is coming over I think. It should be another nice relaxing evening in. I may help him with his blogskin, or maybe we could just play some PS2.... I have not played for real, in such a long long time, I am going through withdraws! Sunday, I have to finish reading, take those three quizes and study hard enough to ace my test on Monday. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. You want to know what I am doing on Tuesday, (after work and school of couse....) NOTHING! A big huge, fat, lazy, nothing. I am going home, I am going to chill with my Draco, I am going to sleep early, I am going to order pizza, I am going to sit on my front porch.... I am not going to go anywhere, I am not getting online, I am not touching my books, I am not cleaning my house (which needs it so badly.... well by my standards... by normal peoples standards it is still super clean, lol) I am not doing laundry.... I am not doing anything! I might watch tv, or I might just go to bed at like 2000. hahahaha! I will finally be able to breath. I have been going steadily since I can remember. I can't wait to do nothing. shes_a_sprite @ 2:57 PM.
well your lecturer sounds like a bit of a toughy. Congrats on the A, maybe whomever scored it was in a bad mood at the time :D I absolutely love Boo Boo! Tuesday, October 25, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 4:18 PM.
I'm glad someone wrote a song like that! very funny thanks shes_a_sprite @ 9:40 AM.
Car troubles are a pain but hey I would rather that than no cars at all.Hope the days to follow are better for you. Monday, October 24, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 7:18 PM.
Harold looks great, loved the halloween email! Thanks. Have a spooky halloween! It's just around the corner! Friday, October 21, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 8:51 PM.
Ok I want that pill! He cooks? well well well... :D Thursday, October 20, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 12:47 PM.
I like that picture. Love the pic! It really looks like an eye too! Monday, October 17, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 8:52 AM.
Nice pumpkin carving!Glad you enjoyed your weekend. yeah very nice pumpkin! The "date" pumkin. A seems like a nice dude, especially if you had a nice time with him, im yet to carve a pumpkin with my man! I'm glad you had a good weekend! That's creepy Carmel we posred at the same time... Dano, Saturday, October 15, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 5:19 PM.

Congrats! Yeah you are a better student than that, you could have gotten and A but you got an A instead :D Oh I forgot to mention, I LOVE your irish glitter thingy! I went in and had a look, I may find one for my site too ;D shes_a_sprite @ 5:13 PM.
Computer programmer.. you just had to didn't you. MBT~ I am one of those people that can't tan, I go from burnt right back to white... LOL, it's that Irish/scot skin of mine.... shes_a_sprite @ 2:02 PM.
Have you noticed that your computer monitor, after a few years of use, is not as clear as it was when new? Over time, electrostatic charges cause micro-etching on the interior surface of the glass which somewhat degrades the picture quality. As a result, vision is strained and visual acuity can suffer. But the process is reversible thanks to a newly introduced Microsoft program that "cleans" the inside of the screen. Click on the link below, the process takes less than 30 seconds and the difference is immediately noticeable. This will certainly make your time at the computer more pleasant. shes_a_sprite @ 1:34 PM.

Ha ha, the smurfs was so funny! I love those photos you posted too. I hope your test results come in soon, yay on those arrests! I should say WOW on those arrests, dont mess with Heather!! That's so cool. Okay 1) Awesome pics and 2) THANKS FOR THAT AWESOME LINK! I've got the Family Guy clip on my myspace profile now, that rocks! Yay to Scottish people. My last name is MacKay...about as Scottish as you can get. Herself's Scottish, and so baby Molly is half Scottish. Monday, October 10, 2005 Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get. Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. shes_a_sprite @ 8:26 AM.
My fingers are crossed! I soooo know what you mean about losing concentration on the more boring stuff, I hate that, I always end up reading the same thing over and over again and still not knowing what is going on with it. Thursday, October 06, 2005 shes_a_sprite @ 7:21 PM.
shes_a_sprite @ 10:12 AM.
Thanks for that Heman thing...Hilarious! One gay guy decided he had the right to grab my butt, just bc he was gay I suppose. I have no problem with what you chose to do with your life, after all it is your life. What bothered me was that my teacher brought it into the classroom, and created a completely unprofessional setting for learning. "Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming." Thats the spirit, its always fun to feel that burn, that lactic burn.Or that first time back in the water from weeks or even months of no swimming.Wish I could do some laps with you, wouldn't that be fun?!?!? You were a little abrupt, I was not bashing anyone. Carmel (who I think your reply was more aimed at, though I did not realize it till you said "If you'll check my post, it came on the heels of another reply") Happens to be a devout Catholic. People come from all walks of life. That rocked! I'm browsing the site now, I found a great music video for my myspace profile: Amish Paradise, Weird Al. :P I didnt want to sound like gays are after us or anything. I think they can do what they want in their personal life, I have no opinion on them being gay or not. Wednesday, October 05, 2005 okay so I am sort of down, and I was hoping that blogging would help, but it hasn't... so here goes: Why is it that nothing is going right? Have you ever had those ultimate lows? It seems like no matter how hard I try to keep my head above water, fighting the current, it is too strong, and just pulls me under. I gasp for air, I swim with all my might, but the ocean, life, is just too strong, I am a strong swimmer, but I just give up, one last breath and it pulls me under. Today, blog is down, myspace is down, none of my friends are on aim, my gmail is down... just to add flame to fury... all of my outlets are offline. I want to make something out of my life, and I know that it doesn't come overnight, but I have been working in the same place for five years, going to school for three and a half, been split up from he who shall never be named for 5 years... Shouldn't something give? I don't know how to fail, so maybe that is why I stay so guarded, because if I don't let anyone in, they can't hurt me. I pick guys that I know there is no possible future with, so that letting them go is easy. Or I pick guys that I know I will never date, to have a "crush on" just so that it appears that I am a normal female. Truth be told, I have issues, and I don't know how to work through them. I am tired of being strong. I want someone to lean on, some one to catch me when I fall, someone to share the burden, someone to be strong for, someone to catch... Is that so hard? I cried, I hurt, I turned, I loved, I thought, I screamed, I questioned, I realized, I smiled, I concluded, I wept, so ya, that is about the mood I am in.... Useless fact of the day: Houdini's real name was Ehrich Weiss. ........@............@ shes_a_sprite @ 11:34 PM.
What a gorgeous photo! WOW!! I'm a Secret Dano Drinker. Which was mine...kinda creepy. When you find the answers, let me know. I search for them every day. Sometimes, I don't require answers, just seeking them is enough to keep me going. So I can finally breath! My inservice went smashingly well! I took up the entire two hours that I was alloted, but this was a good thing. It allowed the officers to question the things that they did not understand, and I knew my shit, so they were comfortable with the answers I provided them. It was kind of an adreneline rush. I was really nervous before I got up and started speaking, but after the first slide (powerpoint) I was good. What's more, is the officers actually listened. :) My training today went well too. It was extremely boring, as it was a refresher course for me, but I was able to offer some good insight as someone who has been doing this for five years. Eight Words with two Meanings shes_a_sprite @ 5:43 PM.
Monday, October 03, 2005 Okay, so I have a serious virus on my laptop. I am seriously pissed at this chick for not keeping her aim closed when she knew she had this virus. So I typed an update the other day, but my internet virus ate it. Literally... I was so mad. Larry has gotten rid of part of it, so it is not able to do actual damage, but the part that makes it try to come up is still hidden somewhere. If I have internet up, my computer just runs uber slow, and crashes. If not, everything runs fine. Which sucks major ass, because I am very addicted to internet these days! I worked till almost It has been a busy week for me, and it is bleeding over into this week. I had to dispatch for a couple of hours when I first got to work today, on top of keeping up with my daily duties. I had a Doctors appointment, Right knee/ hip, which ended in a 6 inch needle being inserted into my hip, with a cortisone shot... that was fun... Then I decided that in order to finish my power point from home, because I obviously can't get any of it done at work, and I have to present it tomorrow. I worked on that until I had to leave for class, and here I sit, listening to him drone on about statistics, when everything he is talking about has been covered in our required statistics class. Lovely. I have to give this training tomorrow, then class, then gym, then homework, then bed... Then I have an all day training to attend on Wednesday. I am hoping things slow down by Thursday... Breathing would be nice! How I have felt all week.... hmmm, not got the picture yet, try this one! Other areas of life, I forgot what other areas there were... remind me... Oh yeah, men still suck... Have not had time for any social functions... Unless you count the gym as a social function... Yesterday was the first time I had seen Ruth since we went to the beach, that was forever ago! And even then we only studied... Blonde joke: A few days ago I was having some work done at the local Dodge Dealership. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. bu-dum-dum-ching... Useless fact of the day: The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.... How sad is that? shes_a_sprite @ 8:20 PM.
Oh my
Has it been so long that I have forgotten....
Useless fact of the day:
The first product Motorola developed was a record player for automobiles. At that time the most known player on the market was the Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola.
Haha... there I feel better...

What day is it?
Well this would be the second time today that I have tried to post this so we shall see!
I have got to quit burning the candle so bright at both ends... I am so tired.
I studied, and studied, and studied some more for my my statistics test. I stayed up until 0315 studying on Wednesday night, set my alarm, actually set both of my alarms, and never heard either of them go off. My boss called me at 0845 to ask if I was coming to work today. That was yesterday. I got there an hour and 45 minutes late. Ouch... so that was the start of my day...
My class in statistics is approximately 200 people, and only about 50 of them have bothered showing up for lecture as of lately. So the teacher decided to make the test harder. I don't think this is very fair, becuase he punishes those of us who come to class as well. I studied for close to 30 some odd hours, and there were problems on there that I had no IDEA what he was asking for... I think he should do something a little more civil, like adding an attendance grade. Tell the class that you are going to take attendance a total of 5 times in the next several weeks, at 5 points a pop. This is part of our grade, not a bonus, 20 points would hurt if you don't show up, but would help if you were there... Then he punishes the people that dont show, and rewards those who do. WITHOUT killing us with the test (which right now is the only thing that constitutes our grade. ) I don't think I failed, but there is no way in hell I made an A. Lets ask the 8 ball shall we?
Then there were two questions on the test that had to do with gay/lesbian topics. In a test that only has 9 questions that is a high percentage. And it really had nothing to do with the types of problems we were supposed to be doing. We get it, you are a staunch supporter in gay and lesbian pride. Not please lets get back to learning health and psychology major based statistics II.
I spent so much time studying for statistics that I am behind on psych. I have two and a half chapters still to read, and all three quizzes to take. Then I have that test on Monday.... How did I get so far behind?
In good school news, I got a 90 on my paper. I am not sure why it was such a low A, I wrote one hell of a paper, I have a feeling it was on of the TA's that graded it, and they don't really know what the hell they are doing.
After the test, I resisted the urge to head to the bell tower, and went to walmart instead to buy my snorkle for tomorrow. I am not looking foward to seeing the hairy ass crack of dawn, (I have to be at the school, at the building at 0700.) but once I get over the whole morning thing, I think it will be a fun class. We are heading over to Cedar Key to visit the mud flats to collect some specimens, then out on UF's vessel, Discovery, and then to SeaHorse Island to the marine biology lab there (Yes, UF owns the island) I think it should be a fun filled day of adventure, and I wish that I had a better camera than just my cell phone... I have got to get a digital camera!
I went to A's last night. I was in a terrible mood when I got there, as I had hardly in sleep in 48 hours, nothing to eat in 30 hours, and was terribly mad at myself for not doing better on that test. He was patient with me, and my bad mood. He promptly took me to waffle house for a BLT, and we rented Bewitched. A very good movie, one I may just have to add to my personal dvd collection! He was very sweet, and I ended up leaving in a much better mood than I started the evening in. I was in bed by 2245. It was nice to sleep.

Well, I am off to a rough start today. I got ready for work in my usual routine, and headed out the door for a fun filled day of citations and paperwork, and school there after. I get into my car, and turn the key, and NOTHING happened. No clicking, no starting noises, nothing. So I sit there a few and think over my options.... I had so many. Wake Larry up, or Wake Larry up. Poor Larry. He works late into the night, so I am sure that 0730 os way too early for him.
I called my boss first to let her know of my unfortunate circumstance, and she was fine with it. It couldn't possibly be the battery, I just put a brand new platinum grade battery in it.
Hero for the day: Larry
He drug himself out of bed, put on some warm clothes (it is freaking freezing outside) and headed out with me! Well, being not fully awake, when he loosened the screw that holds the cable to the battery, it fell. We both ended up laying on the cold assed ground, and he wedged himself as far under my car as he could get. (by this time I have changed out of my nice work clothes: black skirt, white shirt and sandals) We could not find it, I think my engine ate it. So off to Discount Auto we went. Bummer man.
The good news is that he thinks it was just corrosion, and he got it to start. The bad news is why the hell is a brand new flippin battery corroded already? I mean it is like a month old.
I am trying to make the best out of this, and since it was my short day anyways, I asked muh boss if I could just cut my losses and take some Annual leave. I am going to turn it into a study day for statistics.
Ruth came by the other day, and we went to Publix... I never thought grocery shopping could be such an adventure. Poor Larry once again. We got into all kinds of shit. Pepsi had a really cool display. I could only get half of it...
the other half was to the left and said GO I thought it was pretty damned neat!
It is a small world. A. gave me this really awesome link, and today Carmel emailed it to me. Did you know that you can find your licence online? All you have to do is type in your name and state, it comes up with your photo and all. I really did not think much about it, cause we have access to all Florida Licenses at work through a program called DAVID. It is only for police work, so I thought it was pretty cool that it is now accessable to the public.
Well I gotta make the most of my semi stolen day, and get to working on statistics. I have a test on Thursday, and then another one on Monday. Grrrrrrrrr... I have not gotten my paper back as of yet... I will let you know when I do.
Oh, one more thing. A. has a blog now, Please stop by and give him a warm bloggers welcome! I may just have to show him the ropes! :)

Mr. Pumpkin the second
So I had a pretty good weekend. I did not get enough homework done, but I had some great distractions so I guess it all wieghs out. I headed over to A's house and he made dinner. It was really sweet, he had three different menus prepared for me to choose from. He ended up making Baked Ziti with garlic bread and salads. It was really good. After dinner we carved up Mr. Pumpkin II, or his roommate named it Harold lol! He let me handle the carving part... no pumpkin goo fight this time! We watched a couple of good flicks, and speaking of carving and goo, Land of the Dead (much better than Dawn of the Dead) actually had a bit of a plot, and some seriously graphic scenes. ewwwwwwwww. If you're bored, this is a good one!
Batman Begins was the other one, and it was freakin awesome. I was almost hesitant to rent it, because all the other ones have been so damned cheesy! But this one was different. Not only was the CGI awesome, but the story line was semi believable. There were believable "bad guys" rather than purple green and pinguien shaped people. (right?) Anyhow, I would highly reccommend you see this flick. All in all it was a grand weekend!
My friend Ruth went to the Alachua County fair, where she got herself into some shizit as usual! Below you will find a picture of her on a gia-normous bull. Man I wish I could have been there!
and in the honor of Halloween which is just around the corner...
The Useless fact of the day: The mask used by Michael Myers in the original Halloween was actually a Captain Kirk mask painted white.
Bet you didn't know this!
I have got to pay attention now... I am in class, and it is so damned boring, and me bum hurts from these damned chairs!

It's Friday Again....
Okay, so Wow, wasn't it just Monday. I have so much stuff to do it is unreal. I am very behind in my homework. I have a test to study for, a shit load of problems to do still, equation sheets to make out... and that is just the one class.
I have two and a half chapters to read, three quizzes (online) to take, and three modules to complete. THIS weekend.... And I am on recall status for work.
WILMA... is headed this way... I am hoping that she will just fizzel out in the gulf, but I don't see that happening. I wanted to go to Hallowscream at Busch Gardens but I don't think I am going to make it this year. Next Saturday my Algae Class starts, which should be a fun and easy A, but at the same time it means that I miss all of the Florida Gator Games... Including Gators Vs. Dawgs, and the FSU game! I plan on tapping them.
Mr. Pumpkin died from heat exhaustion. I think that I am going to carve another one this weekend. I am supposed to go see A. Saturday night, so long as I am at work. Wilma is not supposed to hit until Late Sunday night or Early Monday morning. The bands may affect us earlier and later too... Anywho, he is going to cook dinner, and we are going to watch movies. It should be really fun.
Well, I better get back to work.... I will update more as this weekend progresses.
OMG, I just found out my very good friend is a Seminole (Yak) fan. I have no idea where that came from or how I can help her with this unfortunate desease... Then to add insult to injury, she called it (football) baseball. I was like thats it... you don't even get to pick a team... LOL, I still love her, but how, lord please help this unfortunate soul.
Useless Fact of the Day: Scissors as we know them today (well, pretty much) were invented in Rome in about 100 AD .

Eye of God
I thought this was neat. It was taken by Nasa with the Hubble Telescope. They named it the eye of God.
Sorry I have not updated a lot lately. I have been one busy woman, both at work and at home!
Things are going good with A. I guess it is pretty official now. I have never been big on titles, but I am trying to rid myself of some old issues, and look at things with an open mind, and an open heart! He treats me well so far, and I hope it continues on that path. I hope that in opening myself up some, I do not walk myself into heartache. But you can't be afraid to live because something might go wrong. I guess it is all about taking the chance and if you fail, picking up the pieces and starting again.
Well, I am sorry it is a short post, but I have to head to class now. I will try to post more tomorrow!
Useless fact of the day: American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class. (yeah this one is truly pointless... but funny none the less.)
Well off to class!

Pumpkin Carving!
In the Spirit of Halloween I give you the following funny video... if you don't at least smile, there is something wrong with you!
So I had a really good weekend. I did not get as much homework done as I would have liked, but I did get the paper written and turned in online. I have to turn in my hard copy today.
My date, we will call him A, went super well! He was in the process of moving, so I offered some assistance, we watched part of the gator game, went to dinner at Kazbor's, and on the way there we passed a pumpkin patch. Being me, I suggested we get a pumpkin after dinner, and he was all for it! Dinner was great, good conversation, the gators were winning. We stopped and got my pumpkin, which I was planning on taking home to carve, and I thought "what the hell" and asked if he wanted to carve it with me. To my suprise, he did, he said he had not carved a pumpkin since he was a kid... hmmmm, how do you not carve a pumpkin in October? We checked the score when we got back to his house, and the gators were losing. They lost 21 -17, I was not happy.
With the gator game over, we got to working on Mr. Pumpkin, and before you knew it, we had a pumpkin goo fight. I am not sure who won... but it was a blast. I did most of the carving, but he got equally messy in the de-gooing... Below is a picture of our lovely pumpkin, which we now have to share custody of... LOL! It even has eyebrows.
And there is a pic of him with muh punkin~
With the pumkin carving out of the way, we were off to the pool hall. It was fun, even though it was this little redneck place with only two tables. It was one of those you have to put your quarters up, and win the table... so we only actually got to play together once. He let me play most of the games.
So Sunday rolled around. I did not get up till almost 1300. It was nice to sleep in. I got my house cleaned from top to bottom, my laundry done, grocery shopping done, and began to work on my paper again. A. came over to my house last night, and brought me flowers. I was impressed! He waited patiently while I finished putting the final touches on my paper, and even read it to make sure I did not have any glaring typos. I made dinner, and we played some Champions on PS2. He is new to the game, but seemed to like it, so brownie points there too! 2230 rolled around, and he was like, "I had better go, you have a long day tomorrow." Very considerate... So far so good. I hope things continue to go well!
I am back at work today, and have a pile on my desk, so I will go...
I leave you with the useless fact of the day: The almond is a member of the peach family.
who-da thunk it?

Alright!
My paper is finished and it is only 1700. I will have to put some finishing touches on it tomorrow, but for the most part, it is finito!
I am super stoked! I have a date tonight, with a guy that does not seem like a complete asshole! Actually I am at his place now. He is in the process of moving, so I told him I would help, and then we're gonna grab some dinner and go shoot some pool. I will be sure to keep you posted!
Well, I guess that is it for now! More to come later for sure.
okay last one I swear
I just found out my grade in psych.... I got a 90... ouch, I am a better student than that... but I guess an A is an A... Or so I have been told.

Quiz time
I got:
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
I think that sums me up pretty well, and all from animal questions. LOL! Feel free to post your out come in a comment, I would like see what other people get.
This one is for Larry, and all the other computer nerds out there.
haha, I just keep finding all this great stuff to post! Sorry...

Walks on Water
haha I am a posting fool today!
I must walk on water, because I got my 3%... So that brings it up to a 5% raise in all. Not too shady... Woot Woot, you can uncross your fingers now, I hope they are not permanently deformed from all the crossing I have asked for lately... Thanks for all the support!
With the way things are going, maybe more to come later... lol!
Technical assistance...
smurfs
what is with all the smurfs lately... ^ yahoo's most emailed photo of the day....
Useless fact of the day: Smurfs are three apples high. The first people to meet the Smurfs were Johan and Peewit. You can only enter the land of the Smurfs if a Smurf invites you. Papa Smurf is 542 years old... Smurfs never get older...
The Smurfs speak a very strange language. Some words are replaced by “Smurf”, as well as some of the verbs. Instead of saying, “I caught a cold in the nose”, they would say, “I smurfed a smurf in the nose“.
It's smurftacular...smurferific, smurfin... okay, I am done...
lol more later if I have time...
Another day another dollar
I found these two pics in Larry's computer... They are a little old, but I thought I would share them. Last year, we went to the Highland games in Orlando. It is a gathering of Scot clans. My Clan, the Stewart Clan, won in the parade, we had the most representatives there. (I made Bonnie and Larry march in the parade with me...) We had all kinds of fun! Being royalty has it's perks! They were most impressed at my tent... I just neglected to mention that I am some rediculus number in line for the throne... like 36 or 38. 
I have no idea what I was going through in that one, I know we were waiting on a funnel cake...
And I love this one... it is my clan! I can't wait to go back this year.
Still swimming...
This was freaking hilarious!
I still don't have my test grade yet... I hate waiting, I am not very patient... lol
I want to go to Halloween Horror Nights this weekend, but I have a paper to write, and two chapters to read, and Statistics Homework to do... If we went, it would only be Saturday evening... leave about 6, and come back that night...
I had a pretty good day at work today. I had to dispatch, and we had a foot pursuit that led to three arrests. Fun fun, gets the adrenaline pumping.
Larry made supervisor, so hopefully this will alleviate some of the turbulence in dispatch. A good captain makes for smooth sailing! Congrats Larry!
I had my eval, I did very well. 95.4% on the grading part, and my supervisor created an addendum to the form to boast about my outstanding achievements. We have a new raise system. We will get a 2% cost of living adjustment, and up to 3% merit raise. Employees that show up and do their job walk away with nothing. Good employees will get 1%, well above average employees get 2%, and you have to "walk on water" to get 3%. My supervisor is pretty sure I walk on water.
The only bad news is that I am the guinea pig. Mine is the first eval to go to the city manager since this new system was put into effect. I fear that even though I always give 110%, he may try to make an example out of me... or just be harder on me because he has no one to compare to. I really hope this is not the case, I could use the money.
So once again, keep your fingers crossed for me!
I hate one way friendships. To me they are not even friendships. You ever run into those people, who say they are your friend, but you find that you are the only one making any effort? How hard is it to call someone? My granparents are like that, and a few choice other people whom I will not mention. I have even had boyfriends like this. I am through with it. Either it's a two way street, or be prepared to get passed. And that is going to be your loss.
Other news, men still suck, school is still hectic... My great grandmother's roommate (before she passed) just passed away. I have only gone to see her three times since grams left us. I felt bad... It was just so hard to go there, and not see grams. She just quit fighting.
Being faced with death raises some scary questions. It brings to light one's own mortality.
Useless fact of the day: There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with the words orange, purple, or silver, or month.
that one struck my fancy since I love to write poetry... those words often trip me up! LOL...

Another Damned Test
Well I have good news and bad news.... I ended up with a 98 on that last test rather than a 96... One of the questions was slightly shady. Bad news, I have another test today. I studied yesterday, but I never really got into that groove... I am no where near as confident as I was last time. The section this time was Uber boring, and I often found myself distracted to the point of no return in class, which is very unusual for me. I have good notes, and read the material, but I just don't have a grasp on some of the jargon used in this section.
It was a pretty good weekend. I am feeling almost 100% better, (think I had a cold.) I still have some emotional issues that I have to work out, but at least I can admit this. I know where my problems lie, I just don't know how to go about fixing them... All in good time I guess.
I went to Mom's Saturday, she took good care of me! We watched the Gator Game, (homecoming at that) It was a blow out. Then we watched The Longest Yard, I highly recommend, very funny movie, and The Interpreter, also very good. Then yesterday, I spent doing homework, or procrastinating doing homework, laundry, and dinner with a friend. Dinner was good, ice cream to follow, what a treat, then back to the house for more studying, studied till 0130... But never really found that comfort zone.
Thoughts to ponder:
-Ray Kroc
-Les Brown

Anyhow, keep your fingers crossed for me!

I am glad that you are feeling better, im sick of problems but it's good to know where they lie, at least then we can try to work out what to do about them.
I am one of those people who tries to ignore them and hope they go away! (ok they don't)I am stuck in my own too.
Anyway, great to hear about your score! Keep trooping on!
just a song
You can tell what I do with my time, when I am upset.... I surf the net.... so here I find myself once again, posting in my blog for the second time today... or is it the third... lol
Fiddle- Celtic Gaelic Irish - Enya - Celtic Fiddle
That is how it is saved in my music, don't know if it is the actual name or not, but it is a good song for soothing the soul.
~Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming~
I am still swimming, did not mean to sound like I was giving up. I was just overwhelmed. I am still pretty down, but like I said, I don't know how to fail, so there will be no giving up on my end!
Did any of you ever watch Heman as a child. Well I did, and I loved it.... I came across this video via MBT's blog, and it is so wrong, but so funny. I have to wonder what I was thinking as a kid...
Speaking of which, it is gay and lesbian pride week at UF... I don't know how I feel about this. I mean to each his own, but do you have to flaunt it? I don't make out with my boyfriend (when I have one) in public... So I have mixed feelings on the topic.
My teacher, my stat teacher, is obviously all for it, or gay himself. He wore kakhi pants on Tuesday, with pastel paint splotches on the front, in pink, purple, green, yellow.... which would have been fine if this was how he chose to dress on a daily basis, BUT it is not. Then his powerpoint slides, which are usually very professional were rainbow colored, and so bright that it was hard to read. The bar graphs looked like advertisements for rainbow brite... Again to each his own, but that was unprofessional in my opinion. You don's see straight teachers flaunting there sexual preferences to students. It just doesn't come up... so why? I just don't get it. I don't have anything against it. Be gay if it makes you happy, I accept it. But don't let it affect your work. Just my opinion, I paid 330$ for that class, if I had wanted something unprofessional I would have saved my money and not attended UF. This is supposed to be a prestigous University. It is the same principle as a teacher of any other topic, using class time to talk politics, when it has nothing to do with the subject matter. Don't try to push your opinions on a captioned audience. We can't just get up and leave, so teach what you are paid to teach, teach what is relevant to the subject material... and let us come to our own conclusions.
Useless thought of the day: Did you know that the question mark came from a monk habit of writing the Latin word for question, quo, at the end of sentences. Over time, the letters were written vertically to save space and morphed into the ? we write today. Similarly, the exclamation point came from the Latin word "Lo", meaning something important that should be heeded. (Lo and behold...)

Thanks for the facts you seem to have all the time!
Ya...keep it to yourself.
last year, I lived with 2 gay men and 1 bi(I called them 2 and a half women, ha ha) and they weren't in your face with it, no rainbows in their house at all! Unknown said...
Hi from melbourne, lots of net access here!! shes_a_sprite said...
as far as flaunting heterosexuality, you don't ever hear about straight pride week do you?
"Flaunt whatever you like, free society"
I plan on it, this is my blog, thanks! That does include voicing my opinion. But when it comes to my career, I will keep a professional tone no matter what my opinion. Oprayearth said...

"How do you feel about a person flaunting religion in a professinal setting?"
I feel that the teacher should stick to the subject matter. If that subject matter is religion, say for example humanities, then by all means teach it. But if it is chemistry, or math, they have no business wasting lecture time on their personal beliefs. I am there to learn the material, and Make A's... I pay for them to teach... so teach!
I have had gay friends, and I know people who have gay children. I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't even mind gay pride week. It is when it bleeds over into the class room, and disrupts my learning, that I have a problem with it. The same goes for religion and politics.
I once had an American History teacher, he was a very liberal democrat. He decided to talk one day (just before the election) about the Vietnam war... (we were still on indentured servitude and slavery, matter of fact the class did not even go that late into American history) After about 10 minutes of W bashing, comparing this war to that one, I raised my hand and politely asked, "Is this going to be on the test?"
He got the point, and went back to the subject material. I thought I hated that teacher, but after that day, he would often stop me outside of class, and chat politics. This I was all for, I don't mind a debate, and I will listen to your point of view, but class is not the proper place for it. He ended up writing me a recomendation to get into UF,because I held my ground, and spoke up. I email him still today.
Moral of the story: I may not agree with what a person does, but so long it is legal, to each his own, but don't bring it in to the class room. (i.e. I don't condone drug using or beating your wife, or rape) JR said...

Someones sexuality is none of my business. In the workplace I find flaunting it is not appropriate, whether gay or straight, or whatever other sexuality there may be that I havent heard of!!
I don't flaunt my Christianity to anyone, I believe in my own thing and if any one asks I will be happy to talk with them, as for wearing a dress made of rosary beads to work (which I assume would flaunt my Christianity) that's something I wouldnt do, again, to me, keep your sex life and sexual orientation out of the workplace.
Anyway Heather, i'm back, thanks for checking for me, you rock!!!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I had curls for all of minutes so I had larry take a picture
Promise him anything, but bring him a Heather.
How do you put faith, and hope into something that lets you down every time? How do you get back up after you fall over and over again? Do you ever get tired of picking up the pieces? I want to believe, I want to hope, and I want to love, but I am scared.
When is a good time? My friends say after college, my grandparents say a year ago, my heart says never. I am 25, with no children, no boyfriend, and no end to school insight. Speaking of insight... I wrote a poem today, it is crap, but since all my online outlets were unavailable, I thought why the hell not!
(good song for my mood)
I watched,
as you ripped the last shard of hope from my fragile heart.
While you threw our only chance of happiness away
Because you couldn’t see what was in front of you
So that you could not see that you are my weakness
For a brief moment in time and that has past.
But could not remember what it felt like to smile
Silently so that you would not hear
Why I was not good enough for you
That it was I who let you go, pushed you away
Through the tears that I thought were your fault
That I am the one to blame, guarded, jaded and cold
Like a child

I'm sorry that you are feeling down tonight. Life is tough, and you are tired of being strong, the thing is, what other choice is there? We have to go on tired or not.
You will find more strength, it's amazing how much we have. I know you are scared, but we have to take those risks sometimes, holding back bc of fear will keep you from many things.
Don't give up, life will hold wonderful things for you, so hold your head up out of that water for a bit longer! Dano said...
Life is tough and men suck. Just be better than your last disappointment. JR said...
When something like you're computer network issue happens, it can make you so angry. I've been there myself. When I get angry, I run/jogg. I used to take it out on myself. In any event, getting it out is the best thing to do. Finding a healthy outlet is important. Use it for motivation! :P You're a bright star, consume all the fuel you can to burn as bright as you should.

LMAO! Not really, but I thought that was funny as hell, and if it can make me laugh, in my current stressed out state, you gotta be in tears by now!
We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"
She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one." She said that she did not know what it was but this piece had always been there.
He gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car, which had its hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there"
