New Years Resolutions

I have had successes and failures with New Years Resolutions. Actually probably more failures, but for many years I resolved to have no resolutions, and for those years I was successful. On the years that I actively chose something to pursue, I am pretty sure I failed. But, I believe that the [...]

Winter Projects Update

I’ve slipped in writing about my Winter Break Projects… I finished repairing the cracks and we’ve painted the dining room. I also hung up some bottle holders, they’re pretty nifty. I know though, that a picture is worth a thousand words (perhaps ten thousand in my case) but I have been without a [...]

Christmas Time Is Here…

Well we are just five days away from Christmas Day. I am taking my final vacation day of the year tomorrow and I will have to work a half day on Christmas Eve. I love that Christmas and New Years are so close to each other, allowing for a time of relaxing between [...]

Project Log: Dining Room Day 1

Wow. The one thing that one will learn when working on home improvement projects is that they will always be more difficult and take longer than you would imagine.
 
There was a time when I was seriously considering going in to the “house-flipping” business. At the time, the market was still growing and I saw a [...]

The Numbers Game

I got my grades in today. And here they are in their full glory:
Section     Final Grade
HIS-108          A
PSC-304         A
ECO-200         A
GEO-309        A
Current Term GPA: 4.00
Cumulative GPA: 3.468 
It’s insane that my gpa is only at 3.468. With each A I earned this semester, it only brought my cumulative gpa up by around .014. I am trying to [...]

Project Log

Well, my first home project of winter break is done. I ran PVC pipe for the washing machine discharge over to the utility sink. I had never worked with PVC pipe or anything like this. It really isn’t all that hard of a project but I was pleased and am still proud of it. hehe. [...]

Home Improvement

 
So, yesterday I finished up my final final exam, in Intro To Law. I think I did ok. I went and sold my book after class, and I was actually surprised to get $26.00 for it. Too bad, it was the one and only book they took back. All the others were not good enough, [...]

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! 17 weeks of a gruelling semester of school is FINALLY over. At this point, I just have to go in today at 4:30 and take my last final. It’s a 50 question test. I did the math on it, and to get an A in the class, I can miss up to 18 questions. [...]

Bloggin It Up

In an effort to be a good student I drove straight to school right after work (this includes the ritual of changing in the car and making sure no one sees me). But then I realized that there is not much I can to to study for tonight’s exam except read over my notes. [...]

Last Week of the Semester

In fact, this is “Exam Week”. Tonight, I have an exam in World History, mainly on World Religions, Renaissance and Reformation. Then tomorrow, no exams, so I will be free to finish up a paper that will be due Wednesday night, the dreaded Coney Island Paper. My group partners have emailed me [...]
