How much????

I bought 3 book for school that totaled $300! That's pretty steep! Higher learning = deeper penetration.

return to it all

I'm back at work. Next week, I'll be back at college. This may very well be my most difficult semester both personally and academicly. I have to trudge on through 'til May 2. Then I get to go to Summer school. Thinking about it all makes me tired right now. After this semester, I'll only have a year left before my degree. For me, I'll be so busy that the next 5 months will fly by....that makes me more lucky than others.

smoking section

I live in a town that has all but banned indoor smoking in public places, so unless there is a bar, you won't run into too much indoor smoking. As Robyn and I were enjoying a rare weekend meal at a restraunt, we detected the foul stench of cigarette smoke. I was about to comment on what kind of gutter trash goes to a non-smoking restraunt and lights up, but Robyn stopped me. It does stand to reason that it takes a certain level of trash to be so inconsiderate as to disregard other peoples allergies in lieu of you own addictions. That being said, I have no problem with tobacco use. I do not tend to use tobacco products myself, but I support free will in choosing to use whatever it is that you preferr. Mainly, I just wish that if it were a vise that is residually harmful to others, you would do it away from those who would rather not partake. The problem with this thinking is there will always be some jackass with a cavalier attitude toward whatever they are doing. "It ain't bothering you" No, asshole, it is not bothering YOU. If it were not bothering me, I would not have said anything, now would I?

Motorcycle

I want another bike. I miss riding horribly. When I was delivering pizza, I hated driving of any type and as a result, I let my motorcyle go for a stupid price. There were times I could have really used that bike too. I keep telling myself when I get done with school I'll get another one. I'll have a lot more resposibilities by then, so I don't know if I can keep that promise.

New Year?

I have been guilty of making New Year's resolutions because it is just what you do. Most of mine go the way of the dodo bird, as do they all. However, this yearI was able to keep a few.

1. Go back to college. I did that, working on that BA in forensics.
2. Get in better shape. I began exercising regularly and I am in much better shape than I was in a year ago. I'm not athlete by any stretch, but I might get there this year.

I think it's funny how people see a difference in one day over the other. On Dec 31...nothing, but on January 1, it's a new year time to change my life, it's a fresh start. Says who? Come tomorrow, you'll owe the same bills, you'll weigh the same, look the same feel the same. Anything, good or bad, will still be yours tomorrow. As a matter of fact, I like the course I'm going. I don't need your stinking resolutions.
