well, THAT was fun

I just took my first test since 1993. Woot! Most of it went fine -- there was a dicey matching portion where I am SURE the instructor put in stuff that wasn't in his lectures or the book -- at least, not in my edition, which is the one the college was selling for the class, although he teaches from the previous edition. Still, I think I did OK.

Also, I have the outline for my research paper done. I'm going to write the rough draft this week. It's not due till the middle of March (the rough draft, not the paper -- that's due in May) but I swear, having that thing hanging over my head is impacting my quality of life in a serious way and I just -- want it -- done. Gee, can't WAIT for English 1A, since I love papers so much.

In other news:

Not much.

Um, LT fell through our glass-topped coffee/end table yesterday, which took a few weeks off my life, I think, but he's fine.

I'm up to day 45 on my 365-photo project. That sounds good except that this is day 51 of 2007 and I'm totally cheating, taking no pictures for weeks at a time and then taking a bunch and shoehorning them into categories.

I've been gaining some weight, so my pants tell me, but I'm afraid to find out how much, and please don't ask how many delectable cheese-covered breadsticks I ate at the Pizza Factory after class tonight (Debi and another friend or two and I do this every few weeks -- it's my one fiscal frivolity in what will likely go down in our family history as the Belt-Tightened First Quarter 2007).

I managed to pour Diet Coke down my jacket sleeve when I was filling my fountain drink this evening. Don't ask, because I myself am not sure exactly how it happened.

We picked oranges last weekend. Do you SEE how exciting my life is? Maybe I should have told you to sit down.

And I think that's about it.

I think most of them were in my book. ( I did look when I got home) =)
At least it is not sticky right????? =)

Hey, picking oranges probably sounds pretty exciting to lots of people who are stuck in cold, snowy, orange-less locations. ;o)

Glad to hear that LT is ok after his fall. Just reading about it is scary, so I can only imagine how it must have been to see/hear it!

I'm glad LT is OK. That would have made me faint. Well, maybe not...But reading it made me feel a little funny ;-)

Yay for papers! I LOVE writing papers. I keep thinking of extending my services to like college students, make a buck or two. Then I realize that the whole point of college is to LEARN and having someone else do all the work for you is going to make paying for an education futile. So, I won't.

Mmm...Pizza Factory.

Oh my gosh; thank God LT is alright!

Ok.... it is Saturday. That means 3 days until Tuesday. Are you ready to find out how you did on the test? I am not sure I am. LOLOL =)
