School has been crazy because I have been taking 4 classes.  Not much of an excuse, but it's all I've got.

ADAM AND I ARE ENGAGED!  He really is the man of my dreams -- better.  I am the luckiest woman in the world.

The ring....

I am done with the fall semester!

I have an "intro class" on the 19th before my January class begins (officially on the 4th), but until then I am FREE.

What do I do?

READ.

Read what?  I am not sure.

Do I start Twilight?

Do I make with the history reading?

Whaddya say?

Here is further proof of how social movements work.  Groups that are seeking change often stop when they get "half a loaf," or enough of their goals to stop pushing for what they reall want to accomplish.  The end of this article illustrates the theory so perfectly that it is almost scary.

It is so important, that here, I will quote it:  “I think ( Read more... )

As a historian, I had to take a lot of classes on different aspects of history in order to earn my degrees.  One class I took in graduate school was one in which I had no interest.  Looking back, I clearly should have known better because it is an invaluable tool to anyone who fancies themselves a historian or any student of history.  This class ( Read more... )

I was interviewed by my old principal yesterday for that substitute teaching job.  Since I was a Good Kid, it was an easy interview that even had a bit of banter.

Since nothing can ever go smoothly, my finger prints are still not on record from when the other district took them in August.  I find that unsettling because this could delay my entry ( Read more... )

My office building is across the street from a BP, a Getty and a Sunoco station.  Today, some woman was getting gas and drove away with the pump still lodged in her gas tank.

Now, I do not know if she was completely oblivious to her surroundings and just decided that she could drive away.  Maybe she got a call that one of her kids was sick and just ( Read more... )

I got news Wednesday about the promotion for which I interviewed two months ago.  The HR director called me and told me, "I cannot offer you the position at this time because the position is on hold...I cannot even say that it will be open by the end of the month...."  So, the position was going to be offered to me, but since our CEO is trying to ( Read more... )

 Now that I am successfully finished with my suicide class, I am very pleased.  I did very well (so I believe, we'll see when the grades come out) and I enjoyed going to school again ( Read more... )

I woke up, checked www.postsecret.com as I do ever Sunday, ate breakfast, got a massive headache and passed out for 2 hours.

Weird.

I read; finished one book, made a small dent in another, and started a 4th (I have one in my car I am reading).

Then I got bored and worked out.

My stomach has been assaulting me ever since.

I found myself pacing in my room ( Read more... )

Friday at the other office, I ask about the weather on Saturday, because of my hockey game.

Mark looked at me and said, "I cannot picture you playing hockey."

That right there made my week.

In the past, before this transition, if I had told someone I played hockey, they would nod, with a yeah, that's about right look to them.

I have changed.  I have ( Read more... )
