Tuesdays, the bane of my existence, and Thursday, its evil red headed cousin

I didn't sleep well last night.  I was messaging with a friend of mine and he said "If you say so..." which annoyed me.  Doesn't that just imply that there's a lack of trust there?  Or is that just me?

Anyway, it woke my mind up a little too much so I tossed and turned in annoyance, berating myself for having read that one last message that I only knew about because I saw my little text notification light blinking on my phone.  I prefer not to have my ringer on at all.  Like, ever.  So, like a deaf person, I rely on the flashing light to tell me when I have a text.  I do turn the ringer on during weekends, etc, but the rest of the time, I'm in class or work and can't answer it anyway, so why bother with the ringer?

All that to say, I woke up out of a dead sleep when my alarm went off and decided that this semester, since Tuesdays and Thursdays are essentially the same schedule-wise, that maybe Thursdays and I won't be friends for the next 15 weeks.  

My hatred for Tuesdays has been going on for probably 5 years or so.  I mean, Tuesdays are too far from the previous weekend to still have the post-weekend glow.  Yeah, I said glow.  They're also too far from the upcoming weekend to even look forward to it yet.  It's like the 27th of December.  I mean, does anyone really care about that day?  No.  That's how Tuesdays are.  

This semester on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have to get up at 7:30am after having worked until 10:30-11PM the night before.  I go to class from 9:15-1:30, drive home to take the cutest dog in the entire universe out to the bathroom, change clothes (it's too cold to wear scrub pants to school right now), and then drive to work, where I stay until 10:45pm (tonight, anyway--I sort of skipped lunch).  

So after my night of annoyed rolling around in my bed, I likened Thursdays to Tuesdays.  But my first class was over, and I was a bit more awake, I realized, "Wait, I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. This week is totally over tomorrow, and classes are done after today!"  

Therefore, Thursday, my friend.  We're good.  Just beware that I may find you evil a few times in the next 15 (now 14) weeks.

Here are the supplies you'll need for this wreath.  One 14 inch wire wreath which you can get at Pat Catans, 2 boxes of 100 ct LED lights.  You can pick out your own light types... but these ones are the coolest. Here are two cute photo bombers who wouldn't look at the camera. Bella Dog Abby Cat  This should be a given, but make sure to test the lights.  I bought these lights at Kmart on clearance just after Christmas.  I'm kind of bummed because I didn't realize they were smaller than the ones I used in the original wreath I made that got a lot of feed back, but it turns out pretty cute anyway.   Yay! They work! Magic button control thingy Press the button to change white lights to colored lights or make them alternate. I really love white lights.  That's just me.  But I know a lot of people prefer colored lights.  My grandma had a white Christmas tree with red shiny bulbs on it, and I have carried on that traditio

My favorite things (aka my product endorsements)

 So, I feel like doing a "favorite things" post, a la Oprah without the free giveaways (sorry). First off:  Chocolate.  I have become a chocolate snob.  I am no longer a fan of Hershey's or any of those common chocolate bars you can get anywhere.  I want Ghirardelli.  In fact, I have figured out that I'm not a fan of Nestle products either.  I've been baking a lot of the chocolate chip cookie recipe I posted awhile back, and I've found that the cookies made with Ghirardelli Semi sweet chocolate chips are just plain better. I have actually been to Ghirardelli square, though I've never taken the tour.  They do have a fabulous ice cream shop, and it's a favorite of my family to visit when we're there together. I do, however, have a close 2nd favorite, which I generally buy because it's cheaper, and you get more in a bag for the price... and that is....  A friend of mine back in the 00's turned me onto Dove Promises, and those prom

Why this non-traditional student is not a fan of post secondary students

Post secondary students should not share space with extra non-traditional students.  I have always hated group projects, but adding in these high school kids--that aren't paying for the class as I am--into a group project that I have to do for my biology lab, is really just awful. Our project is covering GMOs, and we have a group outline due Wednesday.  I took the leader position of the group b/c a) I'm the oldest so it comes naturally to me, b) I want a good grade.  A week and a half ago, I emailed everyone in the group and told them to send me a few points about their portion of the topic by today so that I could compile the outline in time for Wednesday.   However, last Wednesday, no one had even checked their school email--addresses they all CHOSE to give me--so I reiterated everything I said about the outline in person, they all agreed.  One of the high school girls asked me what she should send me and I told her to watch for the email that the TA was going to send
