Ahhh...Back in the world of mesh shirts and headbands...

I had my Intro to Primate Diversity class today and my Geography and Politics of the Asian Rim class, which is with my favorite professor of all time. He's so quirky that he's easily the most picked on professor (he really does wear a headband and a mesh shirt under his other shirt every single freakin' day!), but I've his intellect is dizzying. I love that man! BUT...DA DA DA DUM...we have to do an oral presentation in that class...I DO NOT DO oral presentations. They scare the shit out of me. I'm going to talk to him sometime in the next couple of weeks and see what can be done. My monkey class is really cool. I love learning about that stuff, and we have to do a couple of assignments where we have to go to the zoo. That should be a fun outing for J.C. and me, or Gabby and me, or all three, who knows, but should be cool no matter what!

I just found out I haave to do a presentation for 10% of my grade in my friggin geometry class. I HATE PRESENTATIONS. Public speaking + Panic attacks = not good! but I have to because I want to be a teacher, so I have to be able to get infront of my peers and teach. I have no problem getting in front of kids, its just PEERS!!!

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
