Tired of PD

I'm sick and tired of taking PD classes. I'm lazy, and I ended up wasting $350, the cost of two PD courses that I decided to blow off. I think I'm overdoing it. I need to chill and pace myself. Here's to finishing the one PD course I haven't dropped, moving to Class 5, and taking a well deserved summer break.

A Quick Update

One of my goals has been a thorn in my side. I love school, and I love learning, but I am not enjoying my online PD courses. I've been slacking, and I always feel like I'm playing catch up. It's not a good feeling. I think that this summer, I'll be taking a break from taking classes. I want some freedom for a little bit. I think I deserve it.

Yay for Ebay...

I just sold two things on eBay. It was a thrill. I sold two Sizzix Sizzlit Alphabet sets, which were sitting in my closet gathering dust. Now that I bought a Cricut, I don't know when I'll even use the Sizzix again. And...with what I made from selling the sets, I paid for the cartridge I just bought for my Cricut. Woo hoo!

An Update

I just updated my goals. Whew, that was pretty large task... I guess that's what I get for not keeping the blog up.

The New Year

I really need to update my progress. Even though I haven't been keeping up with the blog, I have been working toward my goals. For example, I really have been eating fruits and vegetables. I haven't been playing basketball once a week, but some weeks I play 2 or 3 weeks or not at all, so I figure it all evens out.

Anyway, I need to go through the goals and really do a thorough update. I'll get this done in the next week or so.

Last Time, on Phenomenal Woman...

When we last left our heroine, she was busy studying to get to Class 5. Since then, she's decided to drop one of the classes in favor of keeping the remaining sanity she has. The other class, she decided to force herself to finish, only with promises from the instructor for help with the portfolio. Yesterday, our heroine had to take a test as part of the class...

Lights fade... We see our heroine walking into a high school library and sitting down at a computer. The test begins, and she almost walks out. She doesn't know how to do this stuff. She's a Mac girl, creative, flexible, spontaneous. She's not a PC girl. She can't restrict her mind to these stiff, boring menus. And then, after 44 minutes of a 50 minute test, something happens. Yes, she's on her last two questions, and something happens. The computer, a PC of course, has a slight glitch, and the proctor informs her that she needs to take the whole test over again.

The second go around, our heroine whips through, finishing all but one question with 22 minutes to spare. That last question is a toughie... She goes through all the menus, trying to find a word or phrase to jog her memory. "Oh, please, she thinks to herself. Let me remember. I only need a 525 to pass." She focuses on her breathing. She calms herself. The clock s...l...o...w..s.... And it hits her. She finishes the last question, submits the answers and waits for her score, crossing her fingers the entire time wait, she's too cool for that. Her score pops up... 882. She earned an 882. And she was worried about a 525?

Now on to the dreaded portfolio.

I SUCK

I'm dropping two of my PD classes and saying "Au revoir" to the $350 I paid to take the two classes. So not only am I wasting the money, but I'm also not going to meet my goal of getting to the next class by January. Damn it! I will be there by June though. Watch out, everyone. I'm getting serious.

Okay, I suck. I know. I disappoint myself sometimes.
