1st day of class...

I'm normally the most prepared person I know. Have a headache? I've got 3 types of pain relievers handy. Get something on your new shirt? I have a Tide stick. Are you hands sticky? I've got a Wet One. Today was not my best day. I roll into my first day of class without notebook paper (I forgot?!), without a book (they weren't ready yet-Grrr) and without a laptop. 3 strikes! I was the odd (wo)man out. I am never ill prepared. Hmm. I guess I had other stuff going on...say working 40 hours a week? I don't know. I let myself slide by tonight, but I'd better get my act together for Thursday. Despite having nothing with me, I enjoyed this evening's class. There are no assignments to turn in and the final makes up 100% of your final grade. LOVE IT! I'm an excellent test taker and I HATE busy work assignments. Score DU. Boo to DU for not having the books ready. You all didn't know classes began today? I pay $720 (yes, you read that correctly) a credit hour for what again? Grr.

In other news, I am upset with John McCain. Listen buddy, I was cool with your wife being robotic and addicted to drugs in the past. She was upfront about it. No hiding the truth- I liked that. However, this decision to have a mother of 5 be your vice-president pick is not a good one. She has 5 kids! One of which has Downs Syndrome and is under the age of 1. Shouldn't he be raised by his mother and father? Shouldn't the family be home in Alaska- not out campaigning across the States? Honestly. You have a 17-year-old daughter who is pregnant. Where were you? Washington? Did she need more supervision? I'm sure she did. Was she crying out for your attention? Yep. Has her life most likely been ruined by the onslaught of media talking about her teenage pregnancy? Yep. Way to be, Palin. You're being selfish and uncaring to your family. If you can't take care of your stuff at home, how are you going to help run the greatest country in the world? Ugh. I'm team elephant but come on! Give us something to work with here. I don't care how great your ideas are. You've got a full plate right now. Go home. Shame on you, John McCain for picking her just because she's a woman and not because she was the best for the job. End of rant.

What is up with the rise in teenage pregnancies? I am 24 years old hardly feel ready to be a mother myself. I surely didn't have that urg at 16. I'm ashamed of today's youth. Keep your pants on and go read a book! You'll be happy you did later.

Guy has surgery at 8:30 Central Time on his eyes. I would appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers for him. I love you, Duckie.

Have a great day!
