Yes, let's.
"Let's look outward for a while, cast our gaze on something we never really knew existed or something we used to love but completely forgot about because we were too busy masturbating with our pain (or anger or bitterness or envy or garden variety messed-upness)." - Miranda Pinero in

There is something dreadfully wrong...
...with getting a 106 on one's Psychology exam. But, I'm not complaining.My Psychology final is this Friday. So long as I score over 35% on the exam, I will keep my "A." Does this seems ridiculous to anyone other than me?
My stepmother asked me if I thought I was learning anything in the class. To which I replied, "Well,
obviously. I scored over 100 on the test. I must have learned
something."
The ones my dear stepmother should be concerned with are the cute little girls who repeatedly fail to break a 70 even with the "Extra Credit." (Yes, I said "Extra Credit." Sad, I know.)
And these are
Psychology majors!
I really don't want to think about what this says for the state of higher education in the United States. I really don't.
I think I'm going to go study now.............
Today's Random Thoughts
There are a whole lot of annoying, stressful things going on in my personal life. Having vowed to keep this blog lighthearted, I shall not share them. Instead, here are some random thoughts.
1 - After 5 weeks of pestering the Registrar's office, the
Learning Support* designation has finally been removed from my student records. Yay.
2 - Having
Teresa visit reminded me that I have forgotten how to entertain adult houseguests.
3 - When one has a 109 average in one's Psychology class, one should not participate in the "what did you get on the last exam?" discussion.
4 - I'm broke.**
5 - [Insert big sigh here.]
* read "Remedial".** Okay, so that's not so lighthearted.
Procrastination - My Favorite Pastime
I should be cleaning the house. I should be putting away laundry. I should be changing sheets. I should be going to the grocery store. But I am not. Instead, I am updating my blog.
My former
Northwestern* schoolmate, Teresa, is coming to town tomorrow. I haven't seen her since the year I met my nearly-ex-husband, eight years ago.
One reason I have not updated my blog recently is that I have been in shock since hearing that she is actually coming to visit me...
Hold on, a second. I think I may faint again....
So, in honor of Ms. Teresa's procrastination in visiting me, I am going to procrastinate in cleaning the house.
So there.

*Sorry, but I feel I must continue to shamelessly promote Northwestern University, even though I do not attend that school anymore.
