I guess my fictional audience isn't so "fictional" after all! Thanks to "anon reader" for checking in. It's nice to know I have company in going to school.
I have a WHOLE WEEK off -- which sounds like more than it is when you're in finals week and need a break. Now that it's already after 11am on Monday, it seems like I have too much to do and no time to get it done in. Think I'll work on giving myself a break real quick.
Oh yeah! HAPPY EASTER!!!

And I'm 3 and "o" after the 3rd...
Nice to know I'm capable of carrying a full course load and not going postal or clinically insane! In other words, to reference the above blog title, I have SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED MY 3RD QUARTER AT CAL POLY!!!!!
Thank you... I can hear you all cheering me on now.... thank you for your support (like how I have a fictional relationship with my non-existent audience? Leads one to assume differently on the aforementioned "insane" comment, eh?)
I am a winner!!! No, really. Not only have I been doing well in school, but somebody (actually, some people) think I'm special and that I should get an award for it. SWEET! I am really blessed today. God gifted me with my brain, so I gotta give Him a LOT of the credit. My blood, sweat and tears ain't lookin' so shabby either!
Now, if I could just figure out this "home repair" business... I've been breaking entirely too many things that I don't know how to fix! My furniture is taking the brunt of my yoga-and-push-ups-sculpted brawn and I just broke my coffee table day before yesterday. Wow, better lay off them steroids. Seriously, though, I'm almost convinced a man's brain is far more home-repair inclined than a woman's. Prove me wrong. Please. Then come over to my house, ladies, and fix my coffee table. Yeah. That's it!
Now I gotta figure out what to do with all my free time.... hee hee

God Bless America!!!
Well, at least, that's what I say when I am perturbed at "people" in general. I picked it up from my good friend Mary (thanks Mary! this one has saved me many a time in front of my children.)
The reason I say this at this point is because I'm starting to see a pattern with my history/political science classes. I go to great lengths to explain that I am, by nature, a non-political person and that that particular genre of study is "not my thing." Then I go and get decent grades on the exams when I'm taking the course Credit/No Credit due to my lack of faith in my ability.
Gotta tell ya' though: I'm still glad I'm taking THIS Political Science course Credit/No Credit. My instructor --bless her heart, she's a nice lady, but far too advanced for me in her lectures-- asks questions of the class when she is lecturing and you could hear a pin drop (or crickets chirp, etc.) in the time it takes anybody to say anything in the class. I have no idea what "issues were predominantly the same in both Carter's and Clinton's presidencies" or the differences either! I am, however, pulling A's on the exams. Go figure.
Well, just wanted to vent and have that be the point of the blog for once. After all, is ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS???
