Today the words just didn't come out write with my essay, so I thought I'd right instead on my blog...keep the creative juices flowing and all that.  :)

So this past weekend was quite the whirlwind of a weekend.  Between taking my communications midterm on Wednesday, working on Thursday, discussion forum posts due that evening, studying for accounting midterm on Friday, taking said accounting midterm Saturday morning, begin studying/writing/completing/submitting comm. essay Saturday evening, finishing/submitting acc. homework Sunday evening, and finish studying/take/pass Technical Writing DSST on Monday...yeah...

Yeehaw!!!  I haven't been that busy for awhile.  Praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy...

So now I'm on the tail end of my courses, and it looks as if things might slow down...a little.  But life in general makes up for the slight downtime, especially since we just started the other side of the house...

Dad re-enforced some of those ceiling joists today...haven't taken the "after" pic yet.

Anyway, one of the greatest things about remodeling is all the destructing one can do to the lathe and plaster.  I'm sure other would reiterate the same if they've torn some out in the past.  Tearing out drywall is ok, but lathe and plaster truly beats all.  And the mess it makes is awesome.  ;)

And, to close like last time...

That's it for now, folks...I'm off to bed.  DST is still messing up the sleep schedule...  *laughs*

midterms

So...let's see...last time we checked in snow was about to hit and everyone was running around like crazy (which was rather appropriate, by the way).  Turns out there wasn't as much snow as predicted, but still we had a good turnout.  3-4 foot drifts in some places...it was awesome.  During the snowstorm...

I'm sure there's more pics on my camera card...maybe another time.

Also, school's picked up a bit with the aforementioned TESC courses that started exactly six weeks ago today.  Midterms are this week, and with my obsessive personality, that means many hours dedicated towards studying, studying, and more studying.  And more studying.  Thankfully the communications course isn't too much of a chore since it mostly draws from common sense.  Accounting, on the other hand, can be fun yet tedious at times.  The main thing with that is memorizing definitions and equations.  Concepts might come in handy, too.  So the comm. midterm is tomorrow and accounting is on Saturday.

I considered taking the Technical Writing DSST yesterday, but that didn't work out.  Leaving only this evening and tomorrow morning to study for a midterm didn't seem too wise when I had the option to put in more time.  Therefore, the DSST occurs this coming Monday, Lord willing!  Pretty much all the studying for it is already done, which is nice...just need to go in and take it.

Also, for those interested in seeing what a discussion post might look like, see here...

In this case, that there's an accounting DF post, fyi.  Feel free to critique, if you'd like.

That's it for now...time for some sleep.  DST has affected us all...

Auf wiedersehen.
