mmmm. posting goodness...

I completely forgot about this blog. For about 160 days I lost track, blocked it from my mind, had no recollection of this blog. I even stopped checking the spam box for this account.
My final classes were a real trial. Not the content but just trying to be present, let alone keeping the GPA at a reasonable level. With only one class remaining, I can see returning to this blog, just not as soon as I would like.
Talk soon,

I know, I know...

Yet another week without a post. What on earth could I possibly be doing?

Well....

I started a psych class and believe it or not, the professor actually knows his material. Not only that, his assignments require gobs of reading, terror loads of research, and metric tons of analysis.
He even started out this week saying, while not disappointed, he was expecting more in our online discussion and no one has yet to receive maximum available credit. Yikes!

I knew from the start this would be an interesting course, but who thought it would be challenging also (insert sarcasm here)? Does sarcasm work if you have to point it out? I thought not. How about sarcasm about being sarcastic? Isn't that like a double negative making a positive? That would totally work on my planet.

I did however, stumble across this gem while looking up synonyms for the word "bilateral".

Enjoy.

Another weekless post?

Check that. Meant to say another postless week.

Work is not the challenge I expected it to be (is it ever?). But the prospect of being able to return to school without the external pressure of having to constantly out perform (read:shine) is an attractive one. I have the typical single office setup, monitor facing away from the door, should the need arise to alt-tab away from the paper or assignment I am focused on. All the while, looking so intent on completing the last bits of a work-related report or document.

Do I feel the least bit guilty about using time at my desk for studies? Normally, I would say yes. However, since I have logged considerable hours at my home office performing work, the guilt is almost non-existent. Once I reach a deficit of time spent of home over work, I will not allow myself to feel the pangs.

A small mention about the work out, I am running Tuesday and Thursday to supplement the thrice weekly workouts.

cannot break the single mindedness

For the past two weeks i sat down with the full intnention of putting something here that does not relate to working out. I would start "blind typing" (a writer's exercise) in order to get the juices flowing and before you knew it a post would be formed. Only thing is, all the posts were about how-to work out, preparing to work out, and the benefits of working out. So I figured a post about NOT writing about working out would be in order. If anything, just to get a friggin' post up.

So here it is. A post about NOT working out.

I finally enrolled in classes to finish up my degree. I literally killed all of my upper division classes before i opted out. When I say opted out, it was with the intent of completing the lower division classes through the CLEP program, which would satisfy the requirement. For uninitiated, a SLEP is a pass or fail test one takes for a fraction of the cost of regular classes. The problem was I never got around to taking the damn classes. I also found it a little intimidating to take a pass fo fail.

Anyway, I am back on the road to completing the BSIT program.

First class is slated to start on the 31st of this month. Wish me luck.

yay.
