As predicted, I was up before 7. You know what? That’s ok! I WOKE UP. Win number one. I had a ton of studying to do, as is, so Universe knows what’s up. It’s getting mighty cold in my room at night. I’m a huge walking chicken-bump (I’ve never actually seen goose bumps, so I try to stick with what I know) and even the flannel sheets have an icy crispness to themselves before my body makes contact and we heat things up. I am giggling at my s
inglehoodness…”getting hot with flannel – what you and flannel sheets can do to rock the nights….”
I got right to studying. I’d gone through one section last night, but there remained many more. I did a couple of home-life things that needed to be done, though. Ordered a cord of wood, as I’ve almost cleared through what was remaining and it hasn’t even really gotten cold yet. I also reserved a day of “re-learning” for Mabi. Her healing skills are exemplary, but her whining is drives me mad. Plus, the barking with the neighbors? Not cool.
Chatted with a school friend from Switzerland. I know, I know… there are always writings about living all over the place, but this is an area where I feel I’m home, and that’s important to me. I know I’m in California through the kids’ high school years (unless they decided to give CH a go), but after… <smile>. I also reconnected with a Person of Romantic Interest – the man I met on the plane coming back from Mexico and we’ve agreed to keep in touch. He said he’d love to give me tours of Atlanta and New Orleans. Ummm… yes, please….
After studying ALL DAY long, I took Fake Test Two. I improved, but only to 65%. A
ll this time I’ve been confident of my excellent test-taking skills, passing MSAT, CBEST, CSET, RICA(teaching exams) in one sitting on the first attempt, and I’m gonna fail in what I feel is my field (lovely alliteration). I am sad in my heart.
At least I get to spend a little time with Nicole tomorrow.
