Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t written in a while (a whole week! Mea culpa) but life has been crazy. I am taking this class Consumer Behavior and it has had papers up to my eyeballs. Seems like an awful lot of work just for 10 points. *sigh* This professor has just frustrated the heck out of me. If you follow his written instructions you get points taken off for not following the APA format when his written instructions specifically say do not follow it. WTF? And the tests! He puts things on the test that were not in the lectures or the textbook. I think that is grossly unfair and unprofessional. It took me 3 hours to do a test with 8 essay questions and 30 definitions. It wouldn’t be so bad if I wrote the definitions but nooooo, he writes some vague semblance of the definition and you are supposed to figure out what it means. As I told hubby, if I ever meet this guy I am going to punch him in the face and then kick him when he is down. I expect graduate school to be hard and time consuming, but I also expect it to be fair and give me at least a fighting chance to get the answers.
Pretty Toes
I had a great time with my sisters this weekend. We don’t all get together very often so when we do get to it is fun. M and I went and got pedicures this weekend, I know I said I wouldn’t take pictures of my broken toe and post them anymore but they turned out so awesome, I have to share. Btw I still have the toenail. It is still firmly stuck in place; the new nail is growing out very nicely. I figure another 6-8 months and the old one will come off and the new will be there. Anyway back to my sisters and me, we played ladder golf (testicle toss) most of the afternoon. It was a lot of fun; it took us oh six hours to complete three games. We went to the store between games 1 and 2, and then ate dinner between games 2-3. But we are also terrible players! We did a round robin so everyone got to play with everyone.
My garden is doing nicely; well it was until I looked at it this morning. We had some storms go through and they didn’t seem to be bad but my plants seem to have been run over by something. I hope that it is just a protective measure on their parts and when I look at them later they will be upright and proud again. I have some peppers that are teeny but getting bigger every day, and some blossoms on one of the tomato plants. So hopefully they weathered the storm. I will let you know.
Busy week coming up, the big project due at the end worth 25% of my grade, I always wonder if the professor actually reads any of it. When you have 30 people in a class and each of them has to write a 5-7 page paper that’s a lot of words and pages to read. There have also been some distant rumblings on the job front a few not instant rejections and a couple of follow ups. Everyone think happy thoughts, it is good for you.
Have a great week and if I get inspired about something I will try to make time to write. Happy thoughts for a happy day!
