Pattern of Activity
Well, I think I've found a pattern of activity that is (slightly) more agreeable to me than other "patterns" of activity that have been in the past.
Essentially, I get up early and on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's I use the elliptical machine. On Tuesday's and Thursday's I am at work by 8 a.m., which I noted (the other day) is earlier than my boss. Regardless, the idea is to maximize hours while minimizing impact on family life.
On the flip-side of that, or where work is related, I now have a VERY strong need to know/understand .CSS scripting and even though I have a program that goes through a lot of the steps for me... helps me figure things out, and etc. I still want to know what it is I am doing with the scripting so that I can do it from scratch if needs be. Not that I want to do webpages (or webpages that are not mine, Erin's, or my mother's), its just that I am now being employed to know something about the nature of what I am doing and need to know what I am doing.
As for Spanish, I took two tests over the last two days. That was insane. At some point last night I got so tired of the whole Spanish thing that I said something I won't repeat here and proceeded to study for the other mid-term I have to take tomorrow (though a part of me desires (very much) to put that off until Friday and pay the late fee), which was, of all things, a very pleasant aside from my normal day-to-day activities.
I also skipped a review session because I was that tired of the whole school thing and wanted to go home and... well, be at home.
Along with that, Erin expressed her like of my being home last night. Then stopped. Then said, "You would be home anyway tonight, but you will also be home tomorrow night," which is very true and, I have to admit, I like being home too.
Sometimes, at weird times, it occurs to me that I am happy to have someone to come home to. Had I been a loner, a lone-wolf, I don't think I would've minded (so much) working at night or finding other uses for my time... and yet, now, here, today, with Erin in my life and with (what Erin things) a pair of bambinas coming along, well, being home just makes a whole heck of a lot more sense.
As for the Spanish tests, against all odds, I don't feel I did as badly on them as poorly on them as I think I did. Yeah, yeah... makes a lot of sense - me not feeling the suck.... I can't explain it other than to say that when I took the second test I knew I'd blown it and yet, yesterday, I felt I did okay (not great) and today I feel like I had a semi-good grasp of the information.
We are now moving into the next sections of the book. I have a plan (woke up with it this morning) to help control what (and how) I am learning the language... so, let's see what happens.
I think, given that I am not sure how I am feeling about stuff that this is it for the moment.
