Incompetence Annoys Me...

I cleaned my house today for the first time since I told my cleaning lady that I wouldn't need her for the summer since I'm not teaching. OMG...there were things that I don't think have been dusted in months...maybe years! No wonder my allergies have been sky-high lately, the dust was unbelievable!

Definitely won't be calling her back for the next semester, I will figure out how to clean it myself or find someone else. Unbelievable that someone would charge so much for such a shitty job.

Exam Update...

I got good news, and not so good news:

I passed 3 out of 4 questions

I will retake the 4th question in September

This is both the good news and the not so good news as I have all summer to prepare for one question (good news); I passed three questions on the first try (good news); I didn't pass all 4 questions on the first try (bad news) but, I have a second shot and better direction at that 4th question...gonna kick butt and take names come September!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all the men & women who have fought for our freedom!! And, a special thanks to those and their families who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could be free!

God Bless America & God Bless our Troops! THANK YOU!

Patience? I don't have no stinkin' patience!!

So, my exams ended on Saturday around 4:30. Now comes the waiting for the results. Originally, they told us we would know on Friday...only 3 days away, but then they realized it was a holiday weekend. Now we don't find out until Tuesday afternoon if we passed the exams or not.

Patience? What's that?!? I cannot believe that we have to wait over a holiday weekend for our results...I'm dying here! Trying to keep my mind off of it, but it's tough!

EXAMS TOMORROW!

If anyone is still out there I would appreciate prayers, happy thoughts, encouragement, etc...as I sit for my PhD. exams tomorrow!

I will keep you posted on the results and should be back to blogging regularly by Monday!

Taking a Blogging Break--Exams Looming!

Hi all,

I am back from Orlando well-rested and, at the same time stressed, I have realized that my Comprehensive Exams are now very close (May 15-16) so I will be taking a break from both blogging and reading blogs until after my exams are over...I would appreciate any smart and good luck vibes you can spare around those dates. I will be back mid-May...

Busy, Busy, Busy...

*Why does my title remind me of the magician from 'Frosty the Snowman'?*

I am trying my best to keep on top of things, and unfortunately, my blog has suffered. However, I thought I'd take a quick break and say hello to anyone who might still be reading.

D and I leave Monday morning for 4 days in Orlando...we have no plans, except to hopefully see the Shuttle launch...we are just hoping to relax and reconnect as our schedules (and my prepping for examns) does not give us much time with each other.

I will hopefully be disconnected while we are there so there will be a post when we return.
