Oldest trick in the book

Oh, it's hard to do homework when you've forgotten how! I've been stuck for the past few days on the same question on this assignment. Hung up on the sheer volume of material I have to look up, the amount I have to write and running around the internet like a headless chicken because I got intimidated by the 85 marks the first 2 questions were worth. I finally remembered the old exam writting rule...go to the next question. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!

Jack goes upstairs


My darling Jack (he's a rabbit) did something so sweet today. He usually likes to stay in the kitchen, close to the food. This morning, I guess I caught him off guard when I went upstairs. Next thing I know, I hear the sound of his little paws trying to make his way up the slippery wooden steps. I look behind me and he pokes his head in, just to check where I'm at. I guess all my travelling has him a bit paranoid, poor little guy.

And thank goodness for that little smile he brought, cause this assignment is driving me up the wall....

First Rant: Invisible Walls

I wasn't going to say anything till I got more work done, but the stream of coughing has prompted me back.
I've recently returned from a trip to Japan, and I'm currently suffering from second-hand smoke. It boggles my mind when I think of the lack of awareness or indifference to the effects of second hand smoke. I can partially understand in adult establishments like bars (although I knew if the same establishment were here, I would choose not to go), but in family restaurants...the use of the invisible wall to separate smoking and non-smoking sections...not cool, and hazardous to your health (as my literally aching lungs can atest to).

So it begins...again

Hello world,
due to technical difficulties with my previous blog, I've decided to migrate here to Blogger.
I'm currently using the additional hours of productivity my jetlag has given me to start this much delayed project...hey, lemons and lemonade, right?
I'm also using the time to try and finish this textbook unit, but the I'm getting a bit tired of it. The text is fine, but the homework part is something else...just time consuming. Well, no choice but to keep plugging on, with nothing but bog that is late-night television to keep me company. Thank goodness Craig Ferguson has a lovely, spicy accent :P (name dropping already!)
Hang in there until I get some more time to really work on this.
Lots to write, but later!
