Today was a normal day. I had work to do and school work to do. I was good at getting some of each done. I have a lot more typing to finish my first paper that I need to email to my instructor. I hope this gets easier. The research takes time and I am not a fast typer. I can’t get help typing since I am editing my paper on the fly. Oh well I will get through this.

I rode my motorcycle into work today, it was sweet! I was busy at work so that was nice as well. I think things are picking up. I have submitted 2 of my school work projects so far and have taken the quiz. I still have the real paper to type and submit this week. I will get it done but this stuff is tough!

Today dragged by. I had work to do and it was a nice distraction but the school work was weighing on my mind. I need to type another paper this week and turn it in. This will be interesting.
PM:
25 min walk through the neighborhood with my wife
Today was crazy, I woke up early to pee and my kittie was there at the door to greet me meowing like a wild one. I went to the bathroom and as I was heading back Pandora was not showing any signs of letting up. So I decided I might as well just stay up. With it being around 4:15 AM I hit the books for my class work. I worked from until 6:30 AM. That was when I realized I was screwed. I needed to work most of the day to get my 4 products reviewed and write a review of the products and list the side effects. I worked until after 6PM today. I got it done but it was brutal. So now all I need to do this week is finish 1.5 chapters of reading, take a quiz and write another paper due Saturday. I can’t wait for these 8 weeks to be over! I am going to miss out on much of the summer this year. I don’t think I will get more that 2-3 hours to hike with my wife each weekend. We are used to doing so much more together. This is going to be rough.
AM:
2 hour hike
Today we hiked the long branch trail to the Potomac river, over to chain bridge then back to long branch on the opposite side of the GW Parkway. We made a stop into the Bamboo forest. Once the hiking was done it was off to the giant to work on a school project. In fact most of the rest of the day was all project time except for lunch while watching a tv show and a 50 min nap. It is now 9:15 and I am done with school work for the night though not done with the project. I still have 2 more separate assignments to get through tomorrow. This is really tough to do.
Here are the pictures from today’s adventure.

Today I worked off-site. I had a priority and a regular request to take care of. I finished the priority one in an hour and was working on the non priority one when the engineer discovered a problem. The equipment needed to be relocated to another cabinet meaning I needed to redo all my work. Worst part was that I needed to remake all my labels using a handheld label maker. So I re-did the work and got it done. I then struggled to finish the other task. I skipped lunch to get the work done so I would not need to drive out there a second day and waste my gas for a work task. I used more gas today than I normally use in two weeks of commuting back and forth. On the plus side the gas near this other site it 20 cents per gallon cheaper! and I needed to fill up so bonus! My body was so sore from the work today I did not go to the gym after work. I also was sweating despite working in an air conditioned computer room.

Today was another day of waking up before the alarm. I never did take a nap this weekend so I am behind on my sleep. I think it is catching up to me. On the plus side I am really excited about this nutrition class I am about to start. I submitted my paperwork in to my company for tuition assistance and might get some of the course reimbursed to me once I complete the class. I found out Amazon rents books! I did not need to buy the textbook for 150 dollars, I rented it for 16.94 with tax! That rocks. I also looked ahead to a powerpoint presentation and want to do more! This is way better than the World Lit 2 class.

Today I had myself crazy again. I could not even eat my lunch at lunch time. I spoke with my recruiter and we switched classes around. I am now taking the human nutrition class first. I am really excited and looking forward to this one unlike the terror and horror I felt about World Lit 2. Doing it this way will be good so I can get the hang of things while I am filled with enthusiasm. This class will also involve a lot of work, but it work I don’t mind doing.
