I just bathed both of my dogs, if you knew them you would know what kind of accomplishment that is. and my back is killing me after this.

I started writing again.and I don't mean all the experimentation with poetry, that was just to get back into it, I'm story writing now. Although I might be a little delirious from the flu. Tomorrow I'll see how it turned out.
There is no darkness, there is no light, there is only Lasagne!

I am so happy. For the first time, an orchid plant under my care has blossomed! I have managed not to cause its untimely demise for more than two years but I was truly not expecting to see any flowers on it.
I did a happy dance when I realised that it has 6 little buds on it.

Wow, Virg, congrats... well done.Thank you everyone. It went well. I was a little nervous and a little choppy but I didn't stumble and judging by the questions and reactions I think that while I wasn't the smoothest speaker, I really did generate the most interest. I got lots of great comments after and lots' of "wows".
Funny thing happened. While I'm in the middle of the presentation the photographer comes up to the podium and aims his camera at me and I guess I just stopped in mid sentence for him to take the picture. Afterwards my vice president stops to congratulate me and she said the look on my face was precious. It looked like I wanted to kill him.Which was definitely not going through my mind. I just actually froze and trying to decide if I should smile or continue naturally. I guess I couldn't decide. You never know how people read your expressions.
Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.
I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
Thank you Becca.

yipee. I took my TDA skills tests today. They are tests in literacy, ICT and numeracy that all teachers here have to take, regardless of what subjects they teach. Lots of people fail the maths and have to re-take it a couple of times. One guy even had to do it 25 times! To be honest, I was expecting to have to re-take it at least 2 times, but I passed all three of them today!

thanks Virge. Well, the maths one is actually quite easy, objectively speaking. It wasn't easy for me or most other trainees, but I'm sure you'd get 100% being an engineer and all that. I was rather pleased with myself, though, because the first part is mental arithmetic and you only have like 30 seconds for each task and the tasks are little 'stories' not just figures on the screen. I did really badly on the practice tests but today I was really good at this partFantastic Sleepy. You are an outstanding student.
Took advantage of my snow day (third of the week!) to get some work done. I am now ahead in physics by two weeks and caught up in everything else. Plus, I built an epic snow fortress with some friends (one in which a grown man could stand and seats 6 people comfortably). So, overall, I was surprisingly productive.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
I refrained from putting a hammer through my windshield tonight!
Congrats, Virgil! I can't even do 60 push ups!
I offered constructive criticism, "your introduction does not meet the criteria that we established in class and on the handout that I gave you. Please refer to this for your next essay". . . .instead of this:
"Christ! I gave you that handout two weeks ago. We reviewed it in class for 45 minutes! We looked at samples! We saw papers that met the criteria! Papers that didn't! We wrote sample introductions! You keep saying that you want to know what I want, but when I tell you over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, you never listen!"
Ah. . .that was good.

this past summer I discovered a charity called "books through bars." they work to get books to prison inmates. have been sending a box of books once a month since then, and just sent another a few days ago.
