Stress, life, dumb things, and all that!

I don't know if I've ever had a stronger desire to re-start Ked's Poetry Corner. But I won't at this time, because I don't have the time.

But boy is life tough.

Still Standing

Well I am still here although sometimes I wish I didn't have to be. My brain is spent I ran through some GRE practice sections today and have been fighting with a Physics lecture I get to give tomorrow. Luckily work was slow so I could work on the lecture a little tonight I just hope I can get some notes written for tomorrow and survive it. Next week I take the Math exit exam to see if they are going to let me graduate. I haven't done much about preparing for it so I hope I get through without too much stress. After that I have the GRE Subject test and then the General one as well coming up in November. After all of that stuff I guess it is off to graduation and then a glimpse of real life before grad school next fall. Fun, fun, fun. I have been getting through the semester okay except for some of the lectures in Physics II like the one tomorrow, thermodynamics just isn't cooperating with my brain. I will be happy to get to electricity and light and things. The other class that I give lectures in is Physics I and it is more of the good solid classical physics moving blocks, pulleys, and stuff I enjoy that and understand it quite a bit more. Well that is where I'm at in a nutshell I guess. Good luck to everyone else in their endeavors.

Nerd Halloween Pumpkin Bash?

(Kind of a neat ring to it, don't you think?) Is anyone else iching to get together this month as a Herd again? Maybe a movie, some games, or whatever is decided upon. It's likely that we won't be able to have all of us in one place at the same time, but maybe we can get the few that can together one of these nights. Is Splashboy going to be dropping by sometime this month? If so, maybe we can plan around that. We might end up not being able to do anything, and that's okay. People are busy. But if we can, it would be great to spend time with you guys again as a group. Good luck in all you're doing! Make it worth it!

Halloween

I find October to be a most perplexing month. What should I be for Halloween? The only years that I haven't asked this question were the two that I served the Lord. Wait...the one year when there was no Halloween party. I wore a mustache and pith helmet in one area.
So, I have an excellent idea for a large, eerie costume. It would require a lot of time and effort. Midterms are coming up and I'm currently weighing the fun and the grades on my scale.
I also have a small costume that I'm putting together. I found some little kids lino and bear costumes that I'm altering to fit. The lion head already fits well. The bear body--not so well. Reminds me of Spiderman's comment in the second movie. Anyway--it is hilarious looking.
I mainly came to apologize for not writing. I don't find a whole lot to write about. I have no kids on the way, no weird throat pictures, no bridge pictures, no wedding announcement, no organizational tactics, etc.
I do have ten cognitive distortions that I think are fairly applicable to a lot of people. Maybe I'll post those tomorrow. That is copyrighted material though...Hmm. Oh well.
'Til next time. (Cue cheesy music)
"Butterfly in the sky,
I can fly twice as high.
Just take a look.
It's in a book.
Reading Rainbow."

My Scruff

FYI - If you see me looking extra scruffy these next three weeks, it's for good reason. I don't like me with facial hair, but for Halloween this year I need a beard. I could make a fake one, but i didn't want to wear any glue on my face this year. When I asked Melanie what she thought about this on a scale from 1 to 10 - 10 being totally okay with it - she was an 8.

So, yeah. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Coin for Tawa

Mr. Tawa is having me build a large 20 inch diameter Indian head penny. "Why?" you ask? Well, it's because Mr. Tawa has betrayed us, and his daughter is on Cedar High's drill team. :) As soon as she said that they needed a big coin for one of their prop routines, Mr. Tawa imidiately tracked me down, and started throwing cash at me. I gave in. (I'll post pictures once it's completed.)

Make today a great one, guys!
