Howdy, Stranger

3 Comments

Where have I been? SICK. I finished my first assignment, second assignment, and lots of work from my job, but I got a bit of a cold in there somewhere and I’ve been out of it. I’ve also been quite addicted to Treasures of Montezuma, a Bejeweled kind of game. I’ve beaten it 8 times now. My whole family is playing nonstop and so far only Scott has beaten it, too. He’s playing on a laptop with no mouse, so I KNOW if he had a mouse he would have beaten it in no time. As it is, I am the champion of the world. 😆

Yesterday, Cage wanted so Naruto cards, so we took him to get some and I had a chance to see Ashley. Yay!! Hope you got to see 300, hon! Next weekend I’m in Charleston for class, but if this cold isn’t completely gone, I’m not even going to ask my favorite guys for a place to bunk. I’ve got a ton of work to do for that class and may actually start on it today if my cough medicine will stop knocking me out. Pfft.

$42.63

3 Comments

I will give $42.63 to anyone who helps me do my first assignment for class. The fact that it’s a legal and ethics class notwithstanding, I think that’s a fair offer. I like classes with tests. I’ve always had great success with tests. Seriously. Except for lousy elective classes I never actually attended at WVU, I’ve never failed a test. I kicked the ACT square in the bottom, did well on the GRE, passed the Miller Analogies in the top 95th percentile, and regular, everyday tests are music to my ears. I just imagine that I’ve been charged with creating the key to the test, and my confidence soars.

Unfortunately, this class has no tests. It’s largely 5 case studies. We’re given a scenario and we have to apply the ethics model and legal precedents. I have to now find the ethics model and legal precedents. Ugh. It’s not difficult at all, it’s just time consuming. Furthermore, I like to be given specific required formats on assignments. Since there is no example, I have to assume that I’m writing in the correct format, but I could be waaaay off.

So, any takers ❓

Also, apologies to Ben and Jesse for not visiting during my trip to Charleston this week. I TOTALLY forgot about it until my coworker asked me on Tuesday, “Don’t you have a conference tomorrow?” ACK!! Fortunately, she decided to attend it with me and we jetted to the hotel, arriving just in time to catch the end of Star Wars, get some food, and sleep. I’m going to try to schedule a pleasure visit at some point so we can actually do stuff. BTW, I cannot get my coworker to stop referring to Ben and Jesse and Ben and Jerry. For some reason, it cracks me up every time she says it. Hee!

Another Year Something

1 Comment

Thanks for the birthday wishes! This was actually one of the more enjoyable birthdays of recent years. I got my early gifts from Ben and Jesse, super-cool post from Ben on LJ, socks and Borders gift card from Scott and Jamie, and a cool diecast metal AT-AT from Cage. Mrs. Bush (the other counselor at work) got me a caramel pound cake and Mom made my candle cake. The family ate out and had a pleasant time. Hobbit and Istar held a rowdy party last night, and Istar must have hit the hooch a little too much because he kept wanting to get in the fireplace. He’s a little nutty, that one!

I was going to see the MVHS production of Steel Magnolias, but since we have several inches of snow, it’s been postponed. Now I can do that work I had planned on doing yesterday. Ooh, and I still have to finish my assignment for class.

Ah, Ethics.

My class this weekend was the kickoff of the Legal and Ethical Issues class and whoa, boy, did I learn a lot. I am really enjoying my classes this term, but I still can’t wait to find out when I’ll be finished with the certification. Ben and Jesse were, as always, wonderful to me. I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time after we had some Southern Kitchen yummies for dinner. You can almost never go wrong with biscuits and gravy. Yup.

Mini-TV Update: Top Designer (still meh, but passable), LOST (still sucky), Ugly Betty (AWESOME!), Survivor: Fiji (consistant), CSI (always good), SG-1 (veeery Farscapian this time, though good), Road Rules (Veronica gone AND Abram kicked out…again. Yay!).
