Day 41

I almost for got to post something to my blog. I was up late working on my team assignment. I will post more tomorrow evening. I'm so tired. I can't believe I almost forgot to blog. Shame on me.

Day 40

Four more weeks and I'll be on to a new class and instructor. I cannot tell you how happy I will be.

I've completely exhausted my reading on Brunsli's blog. I've read every post on her blog and now I have nothing to read. Reading her blog was like reading a good book.

I don't feel like blogging and I need to get some sleep. I got up really early this morning after going to bed really early in the morning. I had to get up to wish my dad a Happy Birthday. Friday was his birthday but I think I fell asleep when I got home from the dentist because of how numb the left side of my face was. I definitely know how people feel after experiencing a stroke and partial facial paralysis. It sucks. I had no control over half my face!

I should have taken some pictures of myself trying to smile. That would have been funny.

Day 39

I went to the dentist today to get some fillings. The dentist was really great. He shot me up three times before starting the drilling. By the time I got home, the entire left side of my face was numb.

I was watching The Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo. I don't get it. Rich men should be able to find a woman.

According to Patti Stanger, the matchmaker, rich men don't like curly hair. They want hair they can run their fingers through. In fact, there was this gorgeous black female with natural hair (curly) and Patti told her to get a flat iron. Patti told all the women with curly or wavy hair to get a flatiron or extensions (if their hair was short).

I'm getting nowhere with my team project. Two members of the team still haven't posted their ideas for their portion of the assignment. Oh well, I posted that I would have my part of the assignment in on Saturday.

I can't wait to be done with this class.

Day 38

I finally feel like I've accomplished something with my team project.

I also turned in my homework for the week.

So, I was watching an episode of Lost on tv tonight and I was somewhat enjoying the show (there's nothing else to watch) when I was reminded why I stopped liking the show in the first place. What is the fascination with guns? And why do they want to get off the island so bad?

I think I've said this before, but if I was on a deserted island, I'd be happy as a hog in sh!t. Who wants to have to go to work in an office all day? I would rather only have to work in order to eat. By living on a deserted island, I would only have to exert enough energy to hunt and gather some food. The rest of my day would be devoted to-wait a minute. I couldn't imagine a life without my computer.

Day 37

I just shaved my legs. I haven't shaved my legs since Thanksgiving.

I just felt the need to shave them since I'll be getting my paps smear tomorrow. I didn't do a good job at shaving my legs either because when I got out of the shower my knees were still hairy. After taking an even closer look at my legs, I noticed patches of hair here and there.

I wonder if my gynecologist will notice. I can just hear him or her thinking Wow, she's got patches of really long hair on her legs. She must have just shaved them for this appointment.
I mean, I'm sure lots of women shave their legs (and their bushes) just before an exam.

Anyways, I'm hating the class I'm in. I'm not feeling the instructor. I miss Louis (my finance and accounting instructor). He was great because he was challenging.

I still haven't done my reading and I have homework due tomorrow. Crap!

I wonder what my grade is for my paper I turned in. I can usually judge the instructors grading standards by my first paper.

Day 36

Voting is kind of a waste of time if you're Independent. I don't mind though. It's not like there was a candidate I was excited to vote for.

It will be interesting to see who wins the primaries. My prediction-Obama and McCain.

I thought is was interesting that Cynthia McKinney and Jesse Jackson were on the ballot for the Green Party. I didn't even know they were trying to run for president.

I was going to stay up and do some reading but I'm going to save that for tomorrow night. I'm beat and really need to get some sleep. I've been running on empty the past five days.

Day 35

Apparently I missed the game of all games this weekend. I'm not a sports fan at all, but if the Superbowl was a great as everyone says it is, then I feel totally bummed because I didn't witness it myself. Darn school.

The last time I got excited about sports was when the Clippers were playing against the Phoenix (?) or whatever team it was. I'm not a Clippers fan, but for them to make it to the playoffs(?) well that was something. It would have been ever better had the Clippers won. I would have become a basketball fan.

For some reason, I like rooting for the underdog.

Day 34

I have no idea what to write about today. I did manage to get my homework 98% complete and do my laundry and wash my hair so I guess this is one of the most productive Sundays ever.

There really isn't anything else I need to do (today). I know I have to go shopping for a birthday gift tomorrow but other than that I have nothing else going on.

I really don't feel like blogging tonight. I'm going to go to sleep now.

Day 33

I just realized I never know what I'll miss until I don't have time for it anymore.

I really like having ample time. I spent the good part of my day surfing the blogosphere instead of doing my homework that's due on Monday. I still haven't done all the reading required for this week mainly because it's very, very boring. I'm such a procrastinator. This makes me wonder how people with children do it.

I mean, some of my classmates are married with children, and there are even some single mothers *cringe* and I can't fathom how they manage their time.

I'm thinking of blowing the whole study thing off until tomorrow. But then I think I should just do it today so I can have all of tomorrow for goofing off. What will probably happen is I will blow the rest of tonight and part of tomorrow goofing off and then working my homework until I go to bed.

I'll at least finish my reading tonight. I'm not really liking my instructor. I'm going to voice my concerns in my weekly summary. At the moment, we should have already been assigned to teams so we can hammer out the plan for tackling next week's team assignment. I so hate working on teams.

Meanwhile, I'm getting a case of marriage/baby envy. This usually never happens but a coworker just had a baby and I was reading her blog today. I'm certainly not envious of my friends' unweddedness with children. I'm even less envious of the motherhood part, too. It has something to do with struggling.

I've noticed people automatically assume that because I'm black (and not very religious) that I'm down with the unwedded motherhood. Not so.

I was going to add some more backgrounds to my blog but decided against it because I needed to do some school reading. Instead, I set up snapshots on my blog. It's a nifty widgets that opens up a preview of website without leaving my blog. I think it's cool. I set it up on my blogger blog as well.

I just finished one chapter and I'm working on another. After this chapter I will have one more to go.

Day 32

I had a long day. I went to open a checking account at one of my banks and it took forever. While I was at the bank, I discovered my interim driver's license had expired so I had to go to the DMV to get it renewed and report my driver's license lost since I hadn't got it in the mail yet. The DMV tried to charge me $22 to get another driver's license in the mail. She looked it up in the computer and she said the post office hadn't returned it. I insisted I never got, which is true. I got a new interim license.

I'm tired of school. Transformation Leadership is the topic of my new class. I already hate the topic too. I miss Finance and Accounting already.

I've been going through the archives of a Sisterlocked blogger, Brunsli. I love reading her blog. I like reading blogs period. It gives me a reason to be at my computer (like I need a reason, I'm in school!) and on the net.

This is the first day of February and 32nd post. I'm proud of myself. I haven't stopped blogging yet. I dread they day I won't be able to get on the net because I fear I won't be able to get back into it. It's like working out. I went everyday for a week and then I got sick and couldn't bring myself to go anymore. Well, sickness wasn't the only excuse. I hate dealing with my hair.

I notice the more posts my blog has, the more spam I get. Before I lost my blog last year, I was getting a couple hundred spams a day on my blog. If it weren't for Akismet, I probably would have turned off comments because I wouldn't feel like deleting the spam.

I got a fortune cookie with my Korean meal today. It said I would be singled out for promotion. At first I thought it said I would be single permanently. At least I got some lotto numbers. I think I will play tomorrow.
