Wet car

This weekend was awful. It rained really hard on Friday and as usual the streets of downtown flooded. The waters were so high that I couldn't even make it home. I had to abandon my car a block away from my apartment and walk through knee deep water. Actually, the water was deeper than "knee deep." It came all the way up pass my thighs! I was so scared of what was in that water but I definitely wasn't about to stay in my car all night. The next morning I woke up around 8:00am to go get my car. And to my horror, there was about 2 inches of standing water on the floor! Water was everywhere. I was so angry. Everything that was on the floor was ruined, including my notebook for school! Also I had bought some new work shoes and they were soaking wet. The verdict is still out on those on whether or not they will be wearable. What an awful weekend.

Midterm Exam

My econ exam was ALOT more difficult than I thought it would be. I should have expected it though because my professor is pretty long winded. And usually professors who are long winded tend to have thorough exams. After all, a professor's exam is a reflection of their teaching methods. But it's ok because now I know what I have to do. I know I need to dedicate more time to the slides portion of the class and not so much the book. That was my downfall. I spent a lot of time on reading the book and familiarizing myself with the terminology. However what I failed to do was master the concepts. Another way I can study is apply more real world examples of the concepts that I learn in class. I think this will help me better prepare for the final. Now I’m ready to really step up my game!

Work is crazy

It seems like work has been absolutely insane lately! My desk is full of files with half completed projects, my imbox is full of unread emails, and I can't even remember the last time I took a lunch break! I guess its kind of fitting that my Communications group paper is on a four day work weeks. I am totally for it! Two days off just doesn't seem to suffice anymore with the amount of stress that the average worker is under. Viva la four day work week!!

Sarah Palin/Tina Fey

I can't get enough of Tina Fey's impressions of Sarah Palin. She is spot on!! But if I can take a moment to boast for a second and say that the minute Sarah Palin's candidacy was announced, the first person I thought of was Tina Fey. I said to myself, "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back Tina Fey!" My favorite skit so far is the opening skit with Tina Fey and Amy Poller playing Senator Hillary Clinton. CLASSIC!! I love how they made "Hillary" so passive aggressive. She was obviously upset that Palin was chosen to run as Vice President and moreso that she cannot currently run for president. One of my favorite moments was when Sarah talks about women doing anything they want if they just want it enough. And then Hillary just laughs and says, "hahaha... yes thats the problem, I didn't want it enough!" I cant wait until the next skit!
