So, I’ve managed to keep up with my school work so far. One of my challenges was writing essays. I consider myself a writer, but I just hate the essay format. Let me write a quick bitch about politics, or ramble on about my uneventful life. But attempt to explain an idea logically?

Yeah, ah — no!

Anyway, I finally got myself motivated to write my first chapter essay. Thankfully the internet really has revolutionized studying. I can submit a draft of my essays for evaluation before actually turning them in to the instructor, i.e., the auto-grader. I get 5 attempts at having them reviewed. Well, to my surprise I managed a 75 percent score on my first attempt. Which, by the way, is the expected score for exams.

Huh.

I am not even done with revisions. I hadn’t even started when I submitted it for review. Seriously, I’m shocked.

Anyway, the plan is to listen to the online lecture after work. Then I have a third chapter to read. I’m also hoping to get that essay spruced up.

See, on top of having it evaluated, I have resources to educate me further on the writing of essays. So, I’m hoping to take advantage of them.

I’m loving school so far.

So, the one and only time he did make his taxes available it turned out he didn’t pay any taxes. So, either he truly lost money that year or he found a way around paying. Neither plays well with his ego.

Instead of just demanding that Donald Trump release his taxes, Hillary supporters should focus on the one year of tax info we do have. A 1981 report from New Jersey gambling regulators, disclosed that in the late 1970s he reported negative income and paid no taxes, according to the Washington Post. Zero. So instead of…

I feel that it is my obligation to warn you that today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Actor Robert Newton, who specialized in portraying pirates, especially Long John Silver in the 1950 Disney film Treasure Island, the 1954 Australian film Long John Silver, and as the title character in the 1952 film Blackbeard, the…

We be off the map, mateys. Here there be monsters……….

Arrgh!!!!

I redecorated the place. What do you think?

Yeah, yeah. I know. Corny. So what. I’ve been up since 5:30 and I’m not yet finished with my coffee. Mostly, though, I’m getting myself motivated for a morning run before I head out to pick up the table from my parents.

And what’s on the agenda for you all today?

Spend the day with Tina at Peggy Sue’s Cafe, and then at my Parental Unit’s moving sale in Grantsburg. It was a fun day all around. My parents made out like bandits. I bought their old Dining Room table and it’s 6 chairs. Plus a bunch of other stuff Tina liked. And at the end of it all they bought us a pizza!

Yes, a good day.

Tomorrow? Well, that’s a different story. I have to go pick up the table and chairs. I have to get school work done. And I want to go on a run.

Can’t sleep. That is all.

Paid one-third of my bill for the U of M. They ain’t cheap. But at the moment I’m not signed up with any program, I’m just taking one class. It’s intro to psychology, so I’m hoping a good grade will allow me to be admitted into the psychology program. It’s not what I want to get my BA in, but it will allow me to get financing. Once I get enough credits I’ll transfer to the program I really want.

Unfortunately, until I find out if I can enroll in any program I’m paying my own tuition – no school loans for me yet.

Does anyone want to loan me $1300?
