Library book sale

We went to the library book sale today. We set the alarm at 7 a.m. and we couldn't get up. We got there at about 11 o'clock, and we were still able to get some books we wanted to get. I got 3 children's books for my son, and about 5 or 6 cooking and decorating magazines (I really hate to spend 3 dollars on a magazine. Library book sale is a good place to go and get many magazines that are just 6 months old, if you don't mind beind 6 months outdated... ), and my husband got bunch of books he really don't even need. I think he buys books just to keep em. Anyway, it was really really windy. It's really windy right now. It's a good weekend to sit at home reading magazines drinking coffee... if I didn't have midterms. Ah, I forgot my son who is usually attached on my knees asking to play cars with him..

Mid terms


I'm having two tests next week. Both very very tough classes. My poor son fell asleep by my feet as I type these. He didn't used to understand why I lock myself up in this room and hit on this thing with so many buttons. Now he seems to understand that I need to do this sometimes. I couldn't post my discussion requirement today, because there's some problem with the site. Did anyone have the same problem? Is it just my computer? Hmm..
Good luck with you whoever have mid terms next week. I'm sure I'll manage it.

tired but willing


I'm tired. I slept about 8 hours all together last week. My eyes are bloodshot, and I feel like dreaming. I can't remember certain things like how I got home.. Last night, I slept one hour trying to write abstracts due on Tuesday and a research paper. I ended up just paying bills and cleaning up my desk, but no sleep. I still got up and went to the zoo as I promised my two year old son. Yeah!! I can do it!

digital camera


I've been looking for a new digital camera. They are a lot cheaper than when I got the old one. I'm not going for the brand name and the price this time. I'll go for the cheap and good one. I'm still kinda debating whether I should buy one or not. I realized that I take lots of pictures and download them into my computer, and then I never look at them. I sometimes delete many pictures right on my digital camera. Those pictures that would've been so funny to look at years later. When I used my regular camera, I enjoyed keeping rolls of films undeveloped for a couple of months, and then when I get them developed, it's so interesting to see how things changed in a short period of time. I can't delete some of the pictures, so it's funny to look at them. I put them in an album book, so that we can look at them anytime we want to sitting on a couch with a cup of coffee all bundled up toghether...
I don't know.. I may keep my old regular camera and get the cheapest digital camera just to keep it in my purse. The non-digital camera I have is kinda too big to carry in my purse, and that's the only complain I have about it.

lesson

I know that I need to study a lot harder than the time I was an undergraduate student. But I don't know about this. I'm having to write a research paper that I don't even know what I'm going to write about. I guess I have to do a REAL research since it is a research paper. I thought anything for the class should be taught first, and then write a paper over it, and get tested over it. But this is the first time I'm having to write a paper on a topic that I wasn't taught. Is it a common thing? I still don't understand the topic itself. Oh gosh, what am I gonna do.... I should've known better. 12 graduate hourse is too much.

doggy seat belt



I was coming to school this morning. There was a pick-up truck in front of me, and there was this big dark brown dog. It was a beautiful dog, which was just walking around on the back of the pick-up with no harness around him. The worse thing was that the back of the pick-up was down, and the dog could just slide down and fall off the truck. I was wondering if the owner ever worry about that. Maybe the dog is a super dog that knows how to control its balance even in the case of accident.
I worry about the dog this much, and I'm sure you can guess how much I'm against children in a car with no proper car seat for them. I know they may not like to be seated in the car seat, but it's for their safety. They have to know that they have to be seated in the car seat.

potholes

We are having another bad weather. I noticed-really-that the ice storm ruined the roads everywhere. I almost fell in a pothole that was about 3' deep and 4' wide. Everywhere I go, I see the potholes, and sometimes I see the crews filling them out. I ran over a several of them, and my can pulls to the left ever since. What do we do when we get in an accident or get our tires ruined? Is it the city? Is it the Insurance company? Is it just a bad luck? Is it the mother nature? Who do I blame it for?

=======================================================
Okay, I cannot download pictures. I followed the instruction clicking on the picture thingy, and it doesn't do a thing. This happens to me all the time. What's going on? It's really irritating when the computer refuses to do what I want it to do.
