Venting. Yeah, buddy.

Looking back over some of the last postings I have done, I am struck by the completely bitchy tone of them. That tears it. I must send some of the stuff I get at work home so I can post them here; most of them are pretty cute. I also must go back to the doctor and get some happy pills. It has gotten to the point where folks in my class at school (most of whom don't really know me and could care less) are asking if I am okay.

15mg Zoloft, taken in the morning. Usually works; I can wean myself off them when necessary. Just need a bit of a boost to get over a stressful time right now. Asked the doctor last time I had them if he knew about the unexpected side effect of no motion sickness; he said he had never heard of it working that way, but if it worked for me..

Also, I MUST get my hubby to stop downloading tones !!! :)

Papers and such. Yay.

Well, Ned Stein has really laid it on. Richter thinks all the courses will be like this from here on out and that we have had it easy.

Get this. Due Week 3: Thesis, outline, and list of sources for big-ass (1050-1400 word) individual paper due week 4; Critical Analysis paper (700-1050) words; and outline for team big-ass (1400 words) paper due week 5 plus power-point presentation.
(I had never done a powerpoint presentation, let alone standing up in front of a class, before starting this; I have now done approximately 10 of them and got a grade from last teacher of 9.5 out of 10 for presentation, told I was a natural. Humph.)

And oh yeah, next class due Week Friggin ONE: 750 word paper. I have GOT to quit frittering away my weekends, and save some time for homework... along with everything else I have to do in two days. F*ck.

This 5-week schedule is a bitch, and I'D REALLY LIKE A BREAK. No breaks between classes at all, at least not til Thanksgiving. No such thing as spring break or summer break, unless the holiday falls on Thursday. However, I must keep in mind that it will (should? no. will) all be worth it when I am done.. already planning on whether to bring a camera or a cowbell under the matriculation robes.. it's all been done already but hey, I have to do something crazy, y'know?

I heart Comcast. Not.

Think this is the longest I have gone without blogging here.. some of the time Comcast was down, which was a total pain in the ass. Turns out that some of the amateur cable wiring I did back in the winter to wire the garage for cable was part of the problem; also the "cheesy" Gold splitter from Radio Shack. Comcast guy took one look; after he controlled his explosive laughter, he then proceeded to explain that the cheap splitters are basically chicken wire/gold duct tape/spit whereas the Comcast splitters have actual wiring in them and are much better.

Whatever. As long as my Internet works for school, I do not care.

And oh yeah, our TV tuner is going out; it is transferring electricity back into the cable wire which makes for pretty wavy lines on some channels, ghost pictures on others, and bad snow on yet others. Crap. Oh well, it was a $200 special from Circuit City anyway. Not meant to last forever, and obviously won't.

Back to school chat, 1400 word paper due for team on week 5. also 1400 word individual paper due week 4. Yay.
