Take a DEEEEEP BREATH.....

...and exhale.... I just got back from a massage and when the therapist, Janice, stretched out my neck and said take a deep breath and then exhale...i swear i almost cried.

I just got done with my most stressing week ever and I still don't know how I survived. I finished my second semester back in school... WOOHOO...with the turning in of my final last night. Wow I just don't know how I did it when I was earning my bachelors.

My schedule for the past 4 months:
I get up before the sun, commute for a wee more than an hour, work for up to 9 hours, commute back, pay attention to my husband, study or work out or both and then sleep and UP all over again less than 7 hours later. What the hell am I thinking with this schedule no wonder I'm so GD tired.



Soooo yea back to this semester....I'm so glad I'm done. I hate that there is always one real prick of a professor who is so hardcore about everything he just doesn't realize how crappy he really is. This guy actually critiqued the fonts we used in our paper. FONT!!! Who cares!!! No self respecting business person is going to say this proposal is crap because he used Arial and not Times New Roman. ASSHOLE!!! Has reality so escaped you, are you so fed up and bored with life you have to take a point off for a FONT!!! Grrr....well at least that is dead and out of the way.

The other professor was AWESOME...he didn't care what font we used. He was also smart enough to give us a group paper. This is an extremely smart idea for anyone who is a professional taking an online class. You don't have to focus on a huge amount of information and if you don't want to put it into a decent format, don't volunteer for the task. TA DA...stress removed.

On a lighter note, 'ish, the trains got screwed up earlier this week...Monday or Tuesday....somebody jumped in front of a freight train so CSX shut the tracks down. OK that part sucked but I found my new heroin ( like female hero not the drug). So I'm on the DC metro, and its 6:45am, all commuters and third shifters who want to get home. I'm sitting next to a very well dressed normal smelling business man so i hunker down for my 1 hour ride on the red line when, I think it was at Bethesda, a small Asian woman in sweats, sneakers, a fluorescent yellow baseball hat carrying a tote bag and a walking cane boards the train.

I love her already for the hat. She's old she needs to sit as soon as possible so she shuffles over to the designated senior/handicap seats where a business man and his overnight sized bag are sitting. Since the bag is blocking an entire seat, she doesn't say please move the bag like a normal person...she take her cane and begins to BEAT THE BAG until this guy moves it. I LOVE THIS WOMAN! She's not taking no shit from no one. And the look on the mans face was priceless. For 2 seconds he wanted to argue with this woman for beating the bag and then he realized um no she's 200 years old i'm going to lose this arguement.


Final thought for Friday night...If you are riding the DC Metro during commuting hours, do not think its OK to take an entire seat for luggage, it will get beat up!
