Ramblings of the week

Stressed: In case end of year finals, midterms, semester exams, weekly assessments, or standardized tests weren't enough, this year we have quarterly exams too, starting Monday... I think if you can pass one test, you can pretty much pass them all.

Happy: It's starting to get cold :) Me gusta cuando fresco o frio.

Amazed: My dog's brilliant. This morning he learned what "car" means, something I haven't been working on for very long. On the way to church I didn't put him on his leash and when we came out of the elevator I told him to get in the car. He found which car was ours and sat by the door until I opened it for him. Brilliant. Brilliant's a good word - I don't use it enough.

Amused: While on the topic of my dog, I learned a few weeks ago that he hoards. While cleaning my room I found under my bed a neat pile of treats he's been given a few weeks ago. Whenever someone's in the kitchen, he goes out there too and runs back in a few minutes later with a mouthful of food to hide. Part squirrel? I went to clean his bed yesterday, and found under the cushion another pile of food that he's been saving for later. I think Nike could live locked up in my room with no food for a week and be okay...

Annoyed: Again with the dog... he keeps badgering me to play fetch with him. It's kinda funny, actually. He'll take his toy and put it on my keyboard or on my book or whatever I'm working with and keep nudging me with it until I get so annoyed I throw it across the room for him to chase. If I pretend to throw it but hide the toy, he'll look everywhere for it, and when he decides he can't find it, he'll start to whine. Yesterday I sewed back up one of his plush toys - they fall apart like nobody's business.

Ironic: But maybe Nike isn't such a genius... he barks at his own reflection in the window... That's my last comment about my pup.

Excited: Wes is going to be in Palm Coast on the 31st!!!

Double excited: Twilight the movie comes out in 33 days!

Even more excited: Relient K, TobyMac, and Family Force Five are going to be at Murray Hill Theatre (Jax) on the 14th!!!!!

Bummed: Only one more episode of Army Wives left until the season finale.

Refreshed: I've slept about 30 hours this weekend - normally I'll get 10. Friday I didn't feel like being at school so I came home and took a 5 hour nap. A few hours later I fell asleep for the night for 12 hours, then took 7 hours that night, came home from church and slept for 6, and now I'm fixing to go back to bed for the night.

Relieved: I've managed to put off my piano test for the past 4 school days... I think she's forgotten... :)

Side note: Am I the only one that almost always types "blooger" instead of "blogger" in the nav bar?
