Resolute

I promised myself I’d write every day, and I’m doing it, whether it’s worth a damn or not. I ended up going into the office today, and I’m really glad I did. Everyone acted happy to see me.

Ate utter crap for dinner…cheesesteak and cheese fries. So much for THAT part of my New Year’s Resolution. Tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow.

Gotta go to bed early. I’ve reviewed my returned assignments from this intercession course and I’ve got to say I’m happy but irritated. NOWHERE in the real world do they condemn you for using contractions. Get over it, guys.

Meh. I have class tomorrow (that’s right, on Saturday) and I’ve got to get up early to type my paper. I wrote it out in class today, but I still need to type it.

Maybe I have enough energy to play with my planner some more. I really love that thing.

I want to make out with my planner

My day planner, that is. I got this sturdy teNeues personal planner called “The 2008 Calendar of Bunny Suicides”. It has a nice firm front and back cover so you don’t have to hunt down another book to balance it on when you write stuff in it, and it has nice thick pages, so if you were inclined to write in an array of different color fine-pointed Sharpies (green for birthdays, red for action items…) the color doesn’t bleed through to the next page or even the back of the page.

The theme of Suicide Bunnies might seem unsavory to you. Judge for thyself: http://www.retrocomputing.net/racconti/umor/coniglio/pandora.beptuui.html

Bliss! I will love it intensely for about a week, and then I will lose it or fail to update it. One thing that gives this day planner a fighting chance over day planners of yore is the lovely correction tape that works like typewriter correction tape except for it comes in a nifty dispenser and you can roll it over mistakes that you make. It looks like this:

If you have never used I, I highly recommend it. It doesn’t have the savory odor of traditional liquid white out, but it is a far superior product.

On to more tiny notations in my optimistic attempt at color-coded organization.

Here it is.

Happy New Year!

Watching a Modern Marvels about the processes involved in making lunch meat. Wow. I might never eat deli delictables like pastrami or salami ever again.

Oh come on. Who am I kidding? Still, though…http://www.history.com/shows.do?episodeId=254809&action=detail.

I should be researching for a persuasive speech I have to write for class–and “perform” on Friday. Since I don’t have a topic yet, and writing for ME is on my list of New Year’s resolutions, I thought I’d take a moment to post something here.

With school from 9-2 and then work from home 2:30-5:30, and then do homework from 5:30-8:00ish, I am having a hard time finding time to do things I want to do, or even things I need to do like, I don’t know, laundry? Putting away the damn Christmas tree? Washing the dishes? One day at a time. I have a stack of new books I got with my annual Barnes & Noble gift card (thank you Manta and Danta!) and I can’t keep my eyes open long enough to read!

Enough whining. I’m going to think of a topic for my persuasive speech so that I can get up early early and identify my sources. I can write the outline during lunch break tomorrow, and then come home, do work work, and finish the outline and the speech tomorrow night. I will give the speech on Friday, write a critique of someone else’s persuasive speech on Friday night, and turn that in on SATURDAY while I’m in class. That’s right. You read it right. I have to go to school on SATURDAY. I’m taking vacation time to go to school for Holiday Intercession, and I don’t even get Saturdays off. Wah. Poor me. It’s SUCH a great way to get three credit out of the way FAST.

Shame on me for not finishing college when I had no financial or relationship responsibilites.

i can't really tell you what this blog is about, but I can tell you what it's not about. monkeys. at least not all the time.
