Saturday-ish Thoughts from the White Board - Oct 22

My wife commented that today feels like a Saturday.  I'd agree on the later half of the day.  The beginning, not so much.  Unless it was a lousy sort of Saturday.

Things are not going too well in my Spanish class.  I feel like I go in there and we do group activities, and everybody else is speaking in complex sentences, and I'm like, "Que?"  "Hola." "Donde esta el banyo?"  "El queso es viejo y mohoso."  That last one was a joke from the movie Encino Man, by the way.


Couldn't find a clip of the Spanish class scene, so this will have to do.


Anyway, my midterm for Spanish starts on Friday.  I'm super unprepared.  Need to do some studying.  I also need to finish my internship.  And I need to finish my midterm project for Public History.  Nearly done, but not quite.  And I need to do some half-hearted studying for my Women's Lib.. err, I mean Studies class.  I decided to turn that one into a credit/no credit elective.  It isn't a hard class, but my effort is better spent elsewhere.  It kills me not to do my best on an assignment, but the midterm upcoming for that class is not worth the grade in Spanish.  If it is one or the other, I gotta do for Spanish.

What else?  This is just a laundry list of worries, so nothing really that needs to be enumerated.  The good part is, it feels like Saturday right now.  Or should I say, "Que se siente Sábado."

Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time. - George Carlin

This is sort of how I feel about school right now.  I got it!  No, wait, I don't got it.
