i keep forgetting it's saturday
From the seriously awesome thewlisian_afer, one for complete mindless rage: special education kids left inside school during bomb threat. what kills me, absolutely kills me, is that the fucking administrator said that she was doing it because it was cold out and she acted "compassionately". THE FUCKING FUCK.
from the fabulous newtypeshadow: cat banned from getting post office box for not paying taxes. this is just WTF with a side of WTF.
and from mactavish (who is fantastic in too many ways to count): the joy of cephalopods. I love Mary's geography blogging in so many ways, largely because this reminds me of my dad. <3
today: bad pain day, again. cleaning + hopefully writing. and upgrading my computer to the next build of windows seven.
i've bought myself a couple of books on math, because if i do decide to go back to school to do my psych undergraduate degree (which is looking like the most realistic possibility at the moment) I'll have to take at least some math, and the higher i place on the placement test, the better off i am. the weird thing is that i'm actually pretty excited about it. given my past history with math (especially calculus) this is just weird. i'm planning on doing the same with french, because i already know a good bit of it, and uw requires you to take a certain number of foreign language credits - again, the higher i can place on the placement test, the fewer courses i'll have to take. i can't decide if this makes me well prepared, paranoid or a gigantic dork.
must work out some kind of bribery system for this. even something as silly as a star chart.
the only thing worrying me about the psych degree is that admission (and the program) is very competitive. I have good psych grades from my previous AA degree, but i know uw is harder than that and i'm kind of nervous. i'm also trying to find some kind of fallback option just in case i don't get in or decide that it's too difficult to bother. augh.
