I’m feeling a little bit better. I could still use a few more days of bed rest but I just have way too much to do so that’s not an option right now. I picked up some really, really big clients this week so I’ll be purchasing a laptop by the end of this month, something to be happy about considering I still can’t breathe through my nose.
The weather has had me a bit concerned. We got up to 63° today. It’s January for crying out loud. New York isn’t supposed to be this warm. Right now though, it’s very windy outside so it seems a bit chilly but its still 59° so who knows what’s going on there. We were supposed to get rain but that passed right over us, now it’s clear nights for the next couple of days. I really hope that it isn’t like this all winter, that can only mean some very – very hot weather for this summer and I hate heat!
I spent the bulk of the week working on some templates, but also doing my homework. I’m a little big pissed off at myself because no matter how hard I tried, and long I worked, I still only got an 85 on the test. I know some of you are like “but 85’s good…”, no its really not when you’re averaging a 98 for the entire school year. So yea, I’m upset with myself. I’ll get over it but hopefully my average won’t be brought down even more with this Chemistry one.
Joe’s on his way up here right now, he’s going to be helping me with the Chemistry. Heather helped me out with the first few questions but unfortunately I’m still not grasping the whole concept of Chemistry. I can’t believe there are people who actually know every aspect of balancing equations and atom properties and all that shit I don’t understand. Congrats to anyone who can figure this stuff out, you’re definitely better then me when it comes to this stuff. denounces her throne:
In any event; I have to straighten up the house a little bit, this way when Joe gets here the place doesn’t look trashed. I also have to start preparing dinner so we can head to the store quick and pick up the rest of the stuff. He helps me with chemistry and gets a free meal out of it, that’s got to count for something – right?
Later all
Yea the weather here has been hloopy for this time of year. I’m glad you are feeling better, and congrats with your clients, I guess that means you have your own server and stuff huh?
glad to hear you’re doing better. take a break. i know you need the money, but hey, don’t overload yourself too much 🙂
congrats on being so much closer to getting your laptop! are you going for one of the voodoopc ones?
for one of my online classes (participation is by posting on message boards and doing daily assignments/projects), i was getting 95 and higher each week. except for the 3rd week (a quarter is 5 and a half weeks), when i was working 8 hours a day and going to school and doing web work, so i was like fuck it and didn’t post much on the message boards. i turned in most of my assignments though. i ended up with a 29 for that week and everyone freaked out. my teacher emailed me and the online advocate at my school, who in turned emailed and called me 3 times to make sure i was getting back on track and all of that stuff. the next week, the temp job i was doing had ended and i wasn’t tired all the time. i had 98s for the rest of the quarter, but still they were still checking up on me and making sure i was still on track. they didn’t understand that i just didn’t feel like it that one week.
if you keep averaging 98s, one 85 shouldn’t hurt your grade.
I’m a bit stupid when it comes to math and and science. The basic science like Hello this is science and this is a Mammal and this isn’t doesn’t do too much harm to me. Yet if you introduce the whole science/math aspect I’m totally lost. I once spent an entire semester of algebra in the bathroom. Teachers fault if you ask me. I also attribute the science part to my biology x teacher having a boa in the room. I’m deathly afraid of snakes and I think I lost all ability to learn any biological concepts after the trauma.
My guidance counselor actually asked me why I could balance an A average in Japanese language but could not pass an algebra class. I chalked him up as a loser and said screw it. When I go back to college I’ll be taking my math online and letting Kevin help me or do the bulk of it for me.
I’m 30 and I’ve yet to have a need for Algebra. When Sydney gets to that point we will hire a tutor if she needs it. I’ll live without math and science.
I’m glad you are better and that you are getting a laptop. I decided I want a new digital camera this weekend but I’m not sure how I’ll swing it!
hello! hope all is well with you
