School..
I've been thinking about perhaps completing a Bachelors degree. I'm not sure what I would do it in though. It would have to be a worthwhile degree and I'm not even sure where I would go to get this degree, either CSUN or CSCI. Then I would have to do it at night unless I put off my job search. And where would I get the money? Do I want to really want to rack up more Student Loan debt?
I have a ASIS in Early Childhood Education and Development and I was thinking of going ahead with getting a Bachelors, once again I'm not sure in what I would have to get it, and then getting a teaching credential. I always wanted to be a teacher, not of Jr. High or High Schoolers though. So I guess I have some research to do and then determine if I want to spend the next 3 to 4 years doing school again.

So remember I wrote about how one of my professors marked me down for not having a cover page on my project as stated in Unit 1. And I emailed expressing my confusion over the directions and my points deduction. She changed my grade to 195/195 and said she was sorry for her mistake. Kick ass. So I got a 98.4% in the course! WOOHOO!!
The Ghost Blog

I have to wonder what makes a person just stop writing in their blog? I use Stumble Upon to just randomly throw me around to blogs on the internet. It's really hit and miss. People either don't update regularly or they just up and stopped one day. It's like running across a ghost town. And I have to wonder what exactly happens? What makes them not say goodbye? Why do they leave the site up? I mean if you don't want to do the blog anymore, why leave your information up? One has to wonder, did they pass away? If so why hasn't the family removed the blog? Perhaps they don't know of it's exsistance and now it's just sitting there, collecting internet dust.
I mean some of the sites I've Stumbled upon are as old as 2005. Some on their own domains, meaning someone bought a URL and is maintaining a server somewhere for this blog but it's sitting doing nothing. Sometimes I'll see blogs that say they've moved just to find that the blog they moved to is dead too.
I should start a list of Ghost Blogs (apparently this has a definition totally unrelated to how I'm using it). Maybe it will prove interesting to try and find what may or may not have happened with the person who wrote the blog.

So get this…

I'm so glad school is over because I'm tired of requirements being applied to projects that were no where to be found in he directions or on the syllabus. I turned in my final project and should have gotten 100% on it. Instead I get 90% on it because the professor says I forgot to put a cover page on it like the unit 1 directions say. I check unit 1 becuase I don't remember that at all and believe me I looked and it says "Use this checklist as your cover page." So now I'm throughly confused because that's what I did. I check the syllabus it says the same thing. I check the Unit 9 directions and it says the same thing as well. So what am I missing? Apparently some unwritten requirement of her's although she seems to think it was written down.
So I couldn't let it pass because that just bothers me when this happens. I copied and pasted all the directions to her and asked her to point out where it said what she thinks it said and to clarify it to me. Me thinks she's not going to respond. Whatever.
In my Special Needs course I got a 98.9% and in my Career Development course I got a 97.9% (this should have been a 98% as well but not for the fact of that stupid final unspoken requirement).
Weekly Obama Video
I forgot to post Obama's Presidential Address on Saturday. Here is it today.

End of School
- Image via Wikipedia
I don't know if I posted this yesterday but I finished my finals and completed all the discussion homework and that means if I post two more times today and attend one seminar tomorrow then I'm officially done with school.
Doing the calculations I've determined that the lowest GPA I can get is a 3.84 but I will probably go up to a 3.9 by the end of the term. I'll be graduating with a ASIS in Early Childhood Development and Education, Summa Cum Laude. They'll send my diploma in six to eight weeks (I hope we're still living here because if not it wills screw everything up) and they'll send my honor cords as well then. I still have to buy a tassel though. I'm not buying a gown because why would I need it?
Anyhow I'm happy it's done. I was getting tired of it frankly. Now I just have to figure something else out to do with my time. I'm going to start using my night time to work for ChaCha because I'd like to make a little extra money. If I get into it I think I could make a couple hundred a month which is good because we just want a little extra spending money. I also am going to start back up with my paid surverys and so forth.

My Guest Post…

Technically I'm supposed to be finishing my final project and you think I'd be all gunho for it seeing as once I do I'm officially done with school but I'm not. This last semester has been hard to just do the homework and what not. I've managed to keep my average in both courses to 98% so that's good.
I'm taking a small break from my finals though to write this post here for today. I wrote a guest post for Spin Me I Plusate. If you remember I posted below about a person who posted something on Twitter that frankly would have alarmed me whether I had known the person or not. She encouraged her readers to write guest posts for her blog explaining their beliefs and feelings on the situation. And that I did. She posted it today so go check it out.
I'm excited to see the comments. I don't know if the post made much sense over all but I think it will get some people thinking and we'll see what they have to say.

This Sums It Up Well…

"The kid next door got a BB gun and last month shot a hole through my living room window. When I talked to his parents about it, they said they wouldn't pay for the glass. I replaced the pane at my own expense, but the next week it happened again, twice, this time hitting my cat. So I went over and killed the kid and his family and burned down their house."
As posted at It ain't all pizzas and cream.
This is the best analogy I've seen that expresses my views on what is happening in Gaza with Israel.

Back to the Grind…
Finally the holidays are over. Brian is heading back to work on a normal schedule. Activities are picking up again at the group and I'm hoping by everything going back to normal that Kaylee will go back to sleeping normally and her blood sugar numbers being normal.
The DMV sent Brian's license renewal to an address we haven't lived in for nearly 5 years. He had to go in and get it renewed after the fact and they sent it to the correct address. What they didn't do though was change the address apparently because his registration was never sent to us. I checked his car recently to see when it was due and it says Dec. 2008. Great so obviously his registration is not up to date. So tomorrow he's going to head into the DMV and get it done. I just hate that it means we're going to have a late fee on the damn thing because of it. I mean seriously how come they are sending crap to the wrong address? We didn't change our address at all. We got the registration for the car last year at this address. So how does it suddenly change? Stupid DMV.
I'm watching 1408 right now. I have to say I enjoyed this movie. I'm a horror movie buff that's for sure. I like good ones though, not the hack and slash ones. I mean I think the Jason and Freddie movies are cool but I'm more into the thriller type or the type that don't involve too much of "ripping people apart" horror. 1408 really focuses around the guy who is staying in the room and the crap he's been through, a mind thriller mainly. It's an unseen forces thriller which can frankly freak anyone out. "We've only just begun!"
I made French Bread again today. Hopefully this time I made it right. I'm in a baking mood. I think next will be cookies of some sort. I need more kitchen space though for sure to do what I want. Maybe I'll make cupcakes sometime soon as well.
I was trying to think of things I could make to sell online. I'm not sure what is selling though and whether it would be worth it. Like perhaps if I sold blankets. But I'd need to learn to sew and maybe even knit.
Two more weeks and I'm done with school! WOOOHOOOO!! I'm so ready for school to be over that's for sure.
