One Day At A Time....

     I realize I have fallen behind in my Blog-a-day 2012 goal. I'm ok with that. Life has been pretty crazy with school, work, traveling, attempting to excercise more, getting financial things figured out, etc. That last one still isnt figured out 100%....probably not even 40%.      I've thought for a while about quitting my job this fall. I am wanting to graduate much quicker than my current path is taking me. I have been attending classes on a part time basis at UT for the last three anda half semesters. If I continue taking classes part time till I have to go full time, it might take me about five and a half years.  That's YEARS! But, if I start taking classes full time starting this fall, I could be finished in about three to three and a half years. Doing this also allows me to save quite a bit of money in the long run. By not dragging out my schooling, I am eliminating semesters. By doing this, I dont have as many of the "sam...

Waking up 5 minutes before your alarm clock to the sound of a cat screeching and howling outside kinda stinks, especially after waking up around 1:30 am and not being able to go to sleep till around 4 am the same night.

I realize I kinda slacked off and just put quotes for the last few blog entries.  But as long as I have a post for every day this year, I'm still on track, right? Today's post about UT is short. I left work a bit early (with permission) to finish (ok, start and finish....) some discussion board posts that I had neglected to do before my 5:45 poetry class. I'm telling you, if I didn't have to take this class, I wouldn't. It's kinda boring, and the teacher is kinda odd. (Why do I get the weird ones?) While logged into BlackBoard, I saw a message from my Intro to Education teacher stating that class was cancelled for the evening! (Yippee!!!!) So I came home and had a realaxing night, and worked on more neglected homework. (See, such an exciting evening.....)

I sit in the front of the classroom in college. It forces me to pay attention instead of goofing off as much. (but in some classes, goofing off with my iPod Touch and UT's free wireless is inevitable.) My poetry class makes me wish to rethink my choice to sit up front. My professor came in, announced that she thinks she cought something from her grandkids and that she didnt feel well. (no, she didnt throw up on me... ewww) but she sat right in front of me for about the entire class. That's just too close especialy if you are sick and reading entire passages from the book out loud.... I need to find some OJ, vitamin C, zinc, etc. I really don't want to get sick.

Well, classes start tonight. (5:45-9:45 pm). It's going to be a long day. (work 8-5, class 5:45-7:00, 15 minute break, class 7:15-9:45pm, drive home, pass out.) So, because nothing much is going on school wise right now, here's another installment of  Random JLP Q&A   Are you addicted to anything? Air. Definitely addicted to air. Just can’t get enough of it. (My name's Julie, and I'm an air-aholic.) Do you find excess piercings/tattoos attractive? Absolutely not. Can you lick your elbow? Nope. I think that this is impossible for about 99% of the population. Even still, knowing this, people still look like idiots trying! When you wake up, what's the first thought that runs through your head? Usually random song lyrics. This morning I woke up to a mash up of Lamb Chop’s Play-a-long theme song and the Irish Drinking Song from “Who’s Line Is It Anyways?” If you jumped out your bedroom window right now, how injured would you be? Depend...

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I share a middle name with my mother. 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? A couple weeks ago. It was a Sunday and I was in the process of having a musical fit. (Musical fit for me means playing the piano in the attempt to get my mind to work thru or temporarily relocate my complicated blender of feelings.) 3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yes and no. There are times I wish it was different, but as long as I can read it, I'm fine with it. 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Pepper Turkey or Rosemary Ham. YUMMY! 5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Not yet. Gotta have a hubby first. 6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably. We'd enjoy a lot of the same things, so I think we would be friends. 7. DO YOU USE SARCASM ALOT? Sometimes. Depends on what mood I'm in. 8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yupp. 9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? HECK NO! 10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Currently either Lucky Charms or Lif...
