I saw A-Team! It was awesome!! Times a million! It was like every heist movie on steroids, but also hilarious.

Definitely had many laugh out loud moments. I recommend it.

I am also going to ignore any "ohh it wasn't like the TV show" whining. Going to flat out ignore those posts.

Movie was good. The End.

Edit:

I had a big rant here, but I forgot I liked to visit this page when working...

So it has been edited for big brother. And because I get paranoid about work sites...

Thank you *bows, sneaks back into her corner*

Erm, I went to Download, didn't wash for three days, saw amazing bands, missed Aerosmith as my best mate and lift was in danger of severe illness as he wasn't as prepared as me so he was soaked by the rain whilst I was smugly dry in my walking water proofs.

I passed my introduction to astronomy test, other half's birthday today so we went for a picnic and she now officially has the complete ER boxset I bought her.

I also spoke to other half about your crazily idiotic childs advocate MsA, as long as we're evaluating the kid's behaviour and not the child, all good (one of the many things that I think I now know about childcare/teaching is that the behaviour is naughty - not the child) but I think the system is more than a little different.

Erm... I should be going to Newcastle and Bradford next week and have first gig in about two and half years, a week Saturday, can't wait.

Enough talking points for you?

Sadly, lacking films as no time for cinema although we did watch Cloudy with a chance of meatballs on the home digital film thing and thoroughly enjoyed it.

MSA here- I have heard of dumb things but that is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard. HUSG Avery

Yup Gee it's simply a way for the kid to evaluate when they get in trouble what action led to them getting in trouble and how they can avoid it in future. It's 5 questions which I shall now reproduce here
1- What were you doing right before you got into trouble in class?
2- Why would that action be a problem for your teacher, you , or other students
3- What were you supposed to be doing?
4- What will you do next time to avoid this problem?
5- What can your teacher do to help you make better choices?

That's the whole paper....obviously abusive right?

NV thinks they might be under investigation or something and trying to avoid disclosing something

flonkeded teh xzam. Two more questions right and I would have passed.
I'm not failing yet (quite).
Met with instructor today, who said the only problem she thinks I'm having with it is the pace, and taking another course at the same time probably isn't helping.
She really doesn't like the pacing of the session, but it's her first time teaching it and she can't really tweak it much. She also doesn't like the arrangement of the book and thinks we're approaching some of this stuff backwards.
(First gig with the department, can't tweak to her heart's content yet...) Very supportive and offered to meet outside her normal office hour with me as I've got a lab during that time.

One way or another it will be over in about a week and a half. Then it's either on to round 2, or I'll only be taking one class at the accelerated pace. Then summer ends and I will solemnly vow to never be this stupid again, even if it was due to ignorance of just how fast a pace we were going and failure to factor in the labs.

The summer classes always move fast. I always hated when a class I needed was taught in the summer

I think I'm going to drop the second chem course, which would free up 11 hours a week (plus the time I *would* have spent working on things outside the lab/lecture), and allow me to not only focus on biology and catch up on whatever I'm just not quite getting in chemistry, BUT ALSO hopefully save about $4K when we really can't afford it and I can take the class in the next college at a significant savings. (For the cost of one semester at the uni I can get almost an entire degree at the college, no joke.)

Plus, maybe I stay sane-ish.. no?

So it puts me behind by a semester, it's not going to stop the process entirely. Right? (She tries to rationalize an attempt to not be too stubborn to quit even when not quitting is stupid.)
Fall back. Downscale. Reevaluate the plan of attack. Pace myself.
