I've been trying to learn AutoCAD on my own, and I've been doing pretty good with it. I like it! But knowing me as well as I do, and basing the assumption on my past academic experience, I really do learn and retain better when I'm in a classroom setting. That's just how I'm hard wired. So I've been looking at various CADD classes and programs ( Read more... )

This morning:

Me: Oh shit, I forgot I have to write a journal entry for my Diversity class.

Dino: I'll do it! "Dear diary - I am writing a journal entry for my Diversity Class. Love, Me." There, it's done!

Me: Great. Now stretch it out to 5 pages.

Dino: I have some very large fonts ( Read more... )

Well, Friday morning I had major recontruction work done on five teeth. I'm going to a new dentist because the last one was a bit of a prick and way overcharged us on everything. This one is more reasonable, quite soft-spoken and kind. I'm pleased with the work he did, but one of those teeth he worked on on Friday is still hurting in a ( Read more... )

Any of the gamers on my flist interested in Tabula Rasa? When Dino signed up with NCsoft to play CoX, he was given the option to try out the beta for it, but he didn't because he didn't really have the extra time, but he said it looked pretty interesting, and he looked up some information about it. When we were in Best Buy last weekend, we saw ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday I decided that fate was telling me to take that Civic Engagement class I was interested in. During my Diversity class, the instructor teaching the Civic class came in to tell us about it. Turns out it's a brand new class for a brand new Civic Engagement certificate that the university is offering, and it really did sound ( Read more... )

Well, I think I finally got my sleep schedule sorted out, through the practical application of yard work. I was so tired by evening yesterday - thanks to raking, planting, mowing, ect. - that I had no choice but to fall alseep at a respectable time, and stay asleep all night rather then getting back up after four hours like I've been doing lately ( Read more... )

Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, in the early 90s, when Jenn was in college the first time, she took a class called "Ancient History" because it fulfilled a Humanities credit for her. Though Jenn likes history a great deal, this class turned out to be not what she was expecting. The lectures skipped lightly over anything Jenn actually ( Read more... )

Haven't talked about it yet, but my upcoming semester looks to be... interesting. And probably busier than I had anticipated ( Read more... )

Last night I went to bed at around 10. I woke up just after midnight, thanks to a nightmare I had about taking my finals. ^^;;;; Or rather, getting late to my finals because of oversleeping and then not knowing any of the answers and freaking out about it. So, obsessed and worried, I got up and studied all night ( Read more... )

I am sooo procrastinating on everything right now. I should have had this dumb paper finished several days ago, but I'm just now getting around to whipping out a final draft on it. Gah. Tomorrow I have two finals and then I am FREEEEEEE! Well, sorta. Tomorrow night I must get Christmas things wrapped, packed up and ready to mail out on Friday ( Read more... )
