Empathetic

Last night I got food poisening. I think this is my first time because I don't remember anything being this horrible. I ate, tossed "them", tossed and turned all night, and anything I would drink would be tossed too. I drempt of water, my parched throat. Then I remembered that when ladies are in labor, they eat ice chips. I dribbled water in my mouth all night. It was great. Then I started to think about how the entire process of having food poisening seems to be what being pregnant is like, kinda. You puke all the time, your body is achy, you can't get comfortable, you get headaches, and you have to eat ice chips. But, this is only for a few days instead of 9 months and all you get at the end is to live instead of a miracle of a human being.

Hair

I cut my hair a couple weeks ago. I am not supposed to because of the wedding. I guess I am supposed to have long hiar. It feels great though! So liberating!

New Toy

I just got a palm pilot. I never was really into those things. I figured they were just another gadget. But, I needed a way to save addresses, write notes on the go, have a calendar on hand, and remember birthdays. I have the Plam Zire 31 which is so small (no big bulky address books or white out for changing addresses), it reminds me if any birthdays are coming up (so if I forget your birthday, it's only b/c I don't know it), and it links up to my computer to save any addresses or changes to my calendar that I make. I love it! I feel so organized!!!!!

(I am not being paid for endorsing this product but would be happy to be paid if you can hook that up.)

Placement- Finally

I finally got placed into the school I am to teach at in about 10 days. I am so diappointed. I have to drive to Santa Maria everyday and back for the next 11 weeks. I chose to live here so that I didn't have to drive my life away. I am also mad because it will be more difficult to find a way to work in some form of excersize. Excersize is a sanity saver.

I have been very flexible with everything in this program. It would be beneficial if I could keep that same attitude through my final quarter. I can handle anything, right? The only thing that would make me snap, however, is if I had the only professor who never gave me a change at Cal Poly end up as my supervisor. I will protest to that, no doubt. Hopefully it won't come to that and the quarter will end up being perfect. Attitude is everything, especially good to be positive before it even starts, I guess. Oh, December come quick!

Back on the Block

After my long vacation from blogging, I decided that blogs are important, even if people end up finding out how crazy I really am. It's a snap.
