Manners, who needs 'em?! This is a bit of a rant because I am annoyed. I belong to a couple of forums and I have noticed a disturbing trend. People come on, ask a question and demand (not ask, demand!) help with their request. Then they are either rude or never even bother to say thanks! What is up with that? I guess I can live with the not thanking part, even though it takes like, 5 seconds to type in a message like "Thanks, your tip really helped me!", ...
Well, I'm home for a couple of days, and its maybe 70 degrees warmer here than when I left northern Alaska. The temperature is hovering around the freezing point. A snowstorm is approaching with the threat of a foot of snow on the way. I've already started 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'. It already holds insights to me, which I can appreciate. I especially can relate to the portion early in the book where the author writes that his insomnia is related love, and how he can't ...
My mother used to tell me when I was a kid that I should be a judge when I grew up.

I know that Logos already did this, but these are my short list of personal peeves...so Don't do the following. 1. NEED HELP PLEASE, ASAP!!!!! Actually this is #1 and #2 The demands for help with 30 minutes to go before the assignment (that was not even looked at until 30 minutes prior. 2. Type in caps. Give it a rest. 3. Don't get suckered into responding to those forums where people aren't going to listen. You know sometimes they are flaming ...
It's so hard to concentrate on school when you're in something as fun as a play! I mean, who wants to do homework when you can be practicing your dance moves, listening to Calypso, and rehearsing lines about how much fun it is to live in the Caribbean? I think perhaps part of it is just that I'm burning out. I've always been like that; I do great in the Fall semesters but when Spring rolls around I just start to get sick of school. I still enjoy it, to a point. I like the class discussions ...
