Is there anything more delicious than a red velvet cupcake? I think not.
Sitting here indulging in my favorite treat with my least favorite cup of coffee in Seattle, about to study, I've decided to put it off just long enough to write a little ditty. I forget, truth be told, to write on this here thing until you, my fine friends, remind me! Thanks!
I miss you oodles.
This quarter has started out much better and feels more manageable. Its not easier or any less work-its actually substantially more work, but I think I understand it now. I've named the beast, I know how he works and what pleases him. I understand how to learn, teach myself and focus on small goals. I don't look at the future, I break down each week into days, assignments, chapters, tests, papers, discussions, and the like. So far, so good. Only one minor cry thus far. Considering last quarter, I think that is fantastic.
Whew.
I am currently learning about Political Science, Economics, Strategies for Instruction and Diversity in Education. These are all very interesting, which helps- even economics- surprised? I am boggled that the more you know, the more you realize these subjects overlap and co-exist. None of the subjects I study, none of the papers, articles, books I read, live on their own. We are a group collective, all sharing, learning, exploring information and our world, so its no surprise that nothing exists on its own. This realization just makes me want to learn more. I want to learn everything. EVERYTHING!
I am nothing without the support of my loved ones, so thank you. Also- my husband is the best, always telling me what a great job I am doing and how much he adores me. I want this type of support and love for each and every person. Food, knowledge and LOVE. That's all we really need right?
In other news: I WAS SCAMMED! Yep. I was working Pie and I gave this overly happy couple their change (they paid with a hundred... so annoying), the gal thanked me. I turned around to cut slices, scoop ice cream and make espresso, while I was doing this they exchanged some money- I didn't hear all of the conversation but basically the dude wanted change from her for a 20 or something... then asked me for a drink, he paid and I went back to work. THEN- as I was handing them all their goodies, the gal informed me that I had not given her enough change "you gave me 76.26 and you own me 86.26." Well folks, I gave her 86, I know it. I counted it twice. But yeah we went back and forth, it was awkward, and eventually I said I would take her word for it and gave her an extra $10. $#%$%%*&&^&(#!$!#$!#%!#
I counted the till that night and I was right. eat it.
Kilibird was there, which was good, otherwise I may have lost it.
Back to studies, gotta get my learning on...
