Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test... 8 - the Asserter
you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").
"I must be strong"
Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.
How to Get Along with Me
- Stand up for yourself... and me.
- Be confident, strong, and direct.
- Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
- Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
vulnerable side.
- Give me space to be alone.
- Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
- I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
a personal attack.
- When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
the way I am.
What I Like About Being a EIGHT
- being independent and self-reliant
- being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
- being courageous, straightforward, and honest
- getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
- supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
- upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a EIGHT
- overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
- being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
- sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
- never forgetting injuries or injustices
- putting too much pressure on myself
- getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
things don't go right
EIGHTs as Children Often
- are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
- are sometimes loners
- seize control so they won't be controlled
- fugure out others' weaknesses
- attack verbally or physically when provoked
- take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings
EIGHTs as Parents
- are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
- are sometimes overprotective
- can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

11:40 am - Banana muffin tops
|
So we are tring to eat healthier (both Noel and i really need to lose weight) and to save on money at the same time at least until Noel finds a new job.
I have about four million frozen bananas in the freezer since i throw them in when they get too ripe so i can make banana bread. Last night i attempted to make banana cookies. they were unsucessful, but they did make great banana muffin tops...;) We had them for breakfast this morning as Muffin Top Sandwiches or Banana Cream Cheese Gobs (a freind's mom used to make chocolate gobs). I still need to find a recipe for a good crispy banana cookie, but these were really good so here is the recipe:
Muffin Top Sandwiches
3 really ripe mashed bananas
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4-1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
Reduced fat cream cheese (or reduced fat honey walnut cream cheese)
Banana foster's variation:
1 tbs. molassas
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
light brown sugar for spinkling
Banana Nut variation:
1/2C. chopped walnuts
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 375F
Mash the bananas, stir in the sugar and the eggs (and the molasas if you are doing the variation). Mix the flour, banking soda and salt (and cinamon). Add dry to wet and stir. (add walnuts for banana nut variation and fold in.)
The consistancy will be a thick batter.
Grease 2 cookie sheets and drop spoonfuls of the mixture on the sheet. It will be wet and sort of runny, but they do not spread. Smooth out the shape if desired. (Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. brown sugar for the banana fosters variation, a few lumps are desireable)
Bake 5-7 min until golden brown on the bottom and still mosit, like banana bread.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Assemble the sandwhich by spreading the bottom of one muffin top with the cream cheese of your choice and add another muffin top on top so the bottoms are together with cream cheese in the middle.
We ate these for breakfast this morning and boy where they a big hit. I think the banana's foster variation was my favorite. It was definately a fun way to start the day...;)

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?... The Bishop's Clerk
The Bishops Clerk is both an idea and people person. Everyone and everything is part of a bizarre cosmic whole. They really do want to help and be liked and admired by others. By principle they are intrigued by new ideas but ultimately discard most for one reason or another. They are zany with charm which can allow them to warm up to even the stodgy types. They are outgoing, fun, and they genuinely like people. This Clerk is warm and affectionate and spontaneous. This Clerk can have strong, if unconventional convictions which are usually tied into their cosmic view. They will often use their social skills and contacts to persuade others gently of the rightness behind their views. They may tie themselves with trying to save the world and end up forgetting the nearest and dearest to them (if only in a temporary sense.) People will love working with the Bishop’s Clerk because they are easygoing, pleasant and great at brainstorming. They are wonderful in groups of people but need fresh projects to work on. They dislike bureaucracy in principle and practice; they will make a point of launching crusades against some aspect of the political agenda. It is honesty they are fighting for. The Bishop’s Clerk is a type of Pawn, but fret not, the Pawn is idealized because of its potential to do many great things and to think of the rest of humanity.

Your result for The Attachment Style Test... The Cuddleslut
You're mostly secure, but sometimes you need a little extra reassurance to make it through the tough times. You are usually affectionate and sweet, and you find it easy to fall in love. An encouraging word from a crush or a loved one can motivate you for weeks.

9:10 am - mini vacation
|
So we went on a mini vacation over the weekend of the fourth. I had to teach thrusday night so we left friday morning(ish) it took forever to get out of here. Had to buy a small cage for the dog ect. The trip wasn't too bad. lots of stops for potty and dog and everything took longer than anticipated, got up there before dinner. Noel's Dad and Step mom had wanted to go to a pig roast for the 4th at a freinds, but we were too late and missed it. So we had a nice dinner with them and hung out with our dog and their 4 dogs. the kids were in heaven. it was so cute. Zach loves his grampy so much. (which is sort of hard becuase he is not the sitting still paying focused attention to the kids kind of guy, but he did better this time...although zach got a bit thrown over becuase they hadn't seen tabitha in a long time and she is such a smiley happy kid...;)
We were staying in the guest house which was both nice and weird, becuase when the kids went to bed or nap do you stay with them in the dark doing nothing/going to bed at 8:30 or do you leave them in a house by themselves and go back to the main house. Friday night i got them to sleep, made sure they were alseep and then went back in. Most naps i just naped out there with them. I love me son nap...;)
Saterday, we went to a big playground fort thing and the kids (primarily zach) had a blast chasing dad and grampy around. That wore us out. We had a huge nap and walked around Grampy and Granny Lou's farm. (they had to get rid of all of their famr animals but still have huge gardens, which zach loved.) Saterday night we watch cars (Grampy is a big NASCAR fan and zach loves the movie) It was awesome, zach sat on Grampy's lap the whole time.
Sunday we went to the local flea market and walked around. It was ok, but flea markets are generally a whole lot of garbage on tables. We took ev eryone oput for dinner at a local babeque restaruant.
Monday we left and stopped at Noel's grandma in Port St. Lucie on the way back. She is very sweet to visit with.
Noel and I fought a lot this weekend. We are both pretty strerssed out with him not having a job and just in general. But when we were not fighting it was a pretty good weekend.
We did play blood donors to the ehtire mosquito population of norhtern florida and we are all feeling itchy all over, the poor kids are covered in welts.
Next time we go i figure out what there is to do in the area so we spend less time just hanging out around the house. It makes it very hard to keep the kids entertained without activities. We also need a car that we can load all of us and some passengers into, becuase that would make daytrips a bit easier.

so f-ing mad. Noel got declined from the health insurance application because he stopped smoking but not long enough ago (and I had to tell them he had because he had a prescription for chantix), because he is on the cheapest f-ing allergy med (generic, which he could get over the counter, but it is cheaper for everyone this way) and because he has athlete's foot and got the pill instead of the cream. WTF. So f-ing life threatening. I am hoping mad.
so we are basically f-ed. Me and the kids can get insurance for basically the same price and noel's stuff will bankrupt us if he ever has a problem. I hate this fucking corporate run country of ours were if you lie you win, you are penalized for preventative care and one of the richest countries in the world doesn't give two shits for the people only for the corporations.
Oh yeah, and once you are declined they put you into a national database so all other companies can decline you as well. good show...but thanks to the HIPPA laws I can not be told what he was declined for (even though I entered the information and am his wife) but they can share it with every other insurance company out there.
This country needs to get its head out of its ass and start working for the people not for the companies. Eventually we will sick day and under-educate ourselves to national collapse.
We have seen that effect over the last few decades very clearly and the politicians are being so corrupted by the insurance and drug industries that they refuse to see the writing on the wall.
Unfortunately unlike my parents generation I do not believe that the individual can do anything, I don't believe protests work, mostly because there are enough cynical bastard in my generation that had parents who where hippies and they didn't get a chance to change anything and most of them sold out or burned out and nothing really got fixed. We see this, we see that their methods didn't work and killed them inside so why should we do it that way. So instead we do nothing. We make the best of the broken situation, being morally bankrupted by trying to "play the game" and get by without having to fight so hard for no significant change like our parents. It is sad. noel and I should go into politics, there are a lot of our generation that should, be so many of us have done things in the past that makes us feel we are unelectable or wouldn't change anything once we were there. My whole generation seems to be made up of the lazy; we were burned out before we even reached adulthood. Now we are just scraping by. doing the least we can to get by because we are so tired and have to work full time and raise kids and do the job that the schools should be doing and make nutritious meals and go to the gym and walk the dog and watch our kids like hawks because the world is a dangerous place and give to charity and recycle and look beautiful and on and on and on. There are so many things to do to try to be "ok" that it is mentally exhausting to even think about them. I have an organizational deficient, dyslexia for organization basically and when I get too much work on my desk or too much clutter I just shut down and can't/won't processes it. That is the way our lives have become, we have no room for extra hell, for extra stress, for extra anything and least of all for fighting the system that so many have fought and failed to beat. It is pathetic.
We as a generation failed before we even started.
We as a nation are failing because we buy the party line.
We fail because we only see the rat race and not the greater picture.
We fail because we allow ourselves to be oppressed and fell good when the damn government gives us our stimulus check...gives us our money back and worsens the national debt so that we can superficially bump the economy buy buying the big screen TV.
We fail because we don't have the energy to care.
I am mad at the system, but mostly I am mad at myself, because this anger will go nowhere out than cyber space and with my anger expended I will go back to my exhausted self. Defeated before I even attempt to fight.

1:58 pm - stress
|
So noel's department has been eliminated and his last day is on thursday. it has been a very crazy few months with the sittuation with zach and noel being out of work for three weeks to be home with the kids and then the week he went back finding out that he only had 30 more days. all our health insurance is through his job so all new healkth insuraqnce and I have been workng on that, but it is ahrd going from really good insurnace to the garbage we can afford ourselves. blarg.
Plus i already asked work for a raise for the new daycare and now i am high and dry on insurance, although temporarily noel's severance and Cobra (which will be used for three months of regular insurance) will keep us afloat, but i am worried about what the future will bring and where noewl will land. I am hoping whatever he finds job-wise or chooses to do (maybe web design classes or starting a buisness) makes him much happier and that we can stay afloat financially until then. also praying that nothing breaks or happens to my job/medically that will make things even more difficult.
Plus, i promised noel that for our 10th aniversary or before we were going to make it to england so i have to figure that out also...;) only 6 more years to plan.

Tabitha wakes up with a simle almost everyday. those days that i am not there to wake her up and she cries to get my attention as soon as i walk into her bedroom she smiles and starts to jump up and down excitedly. Zach was never quite this happy and he is now developing into a moody three year old. but Tabitha, she is a just a delight most of the time. she sings and dances when anyone is singing or music is playing. She luaghs when ever anyone is laughing and she laughs at her own baby jokes, like when she calls me dada.
She suprisinly has quite a few words under her belt, although you woudl have to be aroudn her everyday to understand them. Her first real words were "i love you" all strung together, unsuprising since we say it all the time to each other and to her and zach...;) she also said Kitty pretty early on. she has mama and dada down pat, althought she will confuse them occasionally. she has saif Zachary on occasion. She says yinyang all the time. peobably becuase we are always talkign to the dog. she also really seems to dig the dog...;).
Yesterday nole said she said "out car" when he was gettign her out of the car. i herar the out part. she says hi and bye. She is a great waver. she says mine. and a gimme kind of sound when she wants something. most of it is not completely verbailized, but undersnatandable based on context.
She is pulling up and walking along all the furniture, but loves to be held more than anything. She is a great snuggler and loves attention. I feel bad becuase she doesn't get as much as she deserves due to zach and the dog being trouble makers right now. But i do have to say i delight in her. she is so sweet. I gave her a bath last nigth and since she has tubes in her ears she can't take a normal bath, i sit her is a baby tub so her bottom half is submerged and sponge bath the top of her. Well i got fed up with the sponge bathing and used a cup to rinse off everything below the head, she loved it. she was playign wit the water and squealing and laughing. She kept tryng to rteposition herslef at the last minute so she could drink the water. it was adorable.
She is still suckign her thumb, which is really adorable. i want to be worried about it, but it is so dang cute i can't bring myself to try to stop her. She used to suck both thumbs but now it is only the left. We snuggle to sleep just about every night. I lay down with her on my bed and watch tv and cuddle until she falls asleep and then i put her in her crib. it is my special alone time with her. I knwo it is a abd habit and we need a different routine, but it makes me so happy to be able to do it right now.
I am so grateful to have my kids. they are great kids. I am so excited about watching them grow up. It is really cool to see hwop they change. it is hard to slow down enough to not miss it though. I wish I had more time to just enjoy.

i am apparently highly allergic to roaches. included the what should be the freaking florida state insect the palmetto bug...they are everywhere inside and out and has nothing to do with how clean your house is...so there...and according to my doctor and allergist there is very little that you can do to get rid of them becuase even if you spray/bomb your house it is the decomposing bodies that can really cuase the allergies so killing them just adds more decomposing bodies and since theyare outside pests more will just come in. Ugh. so bomb the house then seal the baseboards and then take allergy meds for the rest of your life. wahoo. or move to a house that is less than 25 years old, becuase "every house in florida that is over 25 years old is infested with Palmetto bugs."
grr. At least I am not allergic to the cats and the dog...but ofcourse noel is...go figure. We got the every expensive air purifier on the house AC and apparently it will help noel pet allergies and dust mit allergies, but will do very little for my allergies since the allergens are in the walls and walking on things or from the outsiode.
I am also moderately allergic to penicillium mold (that wonderful mold on brie and blue cheese), Johnson grass, and ragweed.
noel is allergic to highly allergic to cats and moderately allergic to dogs, dust, dust mites, roaches, johnson grass.
Poor Noel has it far worse than i do, but...my poor brie...i will miss you so...i guess i can eat you, just not snort you so perhaps i will be ok...;)
Ah well. I have a nice new dose of nasacort and we will see how that works.

I never want to think ill of my son, so i will just chalk this one up to him being very clever.
Zach's campaign against all buttons is still going strong. Buttons on shirt make a shirt unwearable in Zach's mind. So this morning Mickey mouse playing socer shirt which had the distinct propoblem of having two buttons that do absoultetly nothing in the stretchy t-shirt material. He wanted a new shirt. i was running very late due to an entire giant travel mug of coffe washing to floor and carpet of it's own accord. ugh.
so I refused to change his shirt. I tried to direct him to how cool mickey mouse was, etc. so we got to the car and he was grabbing his crotch and said he had to go potty. so i brought him back inside and we went to the potty. He just stoodf there, no pee pee, no poopy. I asked him if he had to go he said yes. and so we waited and still nothing. I asked him why he was not going pee pee. He said he was sad about his shirt and so he couldn't go pee pee. i changed his shirt, he still didn't have to go. so we went back into the car.
he conned me. He knew once we were outside he would not get a new shirt, but that i would always take him back inside if he had to go potty. so he got me inside. hum.
i don't want to belive he is that coniving, but it sure did seem that way. Ah well. at least he is smart.

10:11 am - update on kids
|
I haven't been journaling much about the kids and that has turned into the primary reason i like having an LJ. Yeah i like to bitch about life in general, but I really like the thought of having a journal of thier progress for them to look at later. so here is a random snap shot of the kids.
( Read more... )
on a choli note. i joined a gym to go to a lunch and hopefully i wil start feelign better ad losing someweight. that would make me happy. I also asked for and got a raise to cover the increased cost of daycare and i have passed 3 of the 9 sections of the the architecural lisenceing exam (i have onyl taken those 3 sections so far, so i have passed all of the ones i have taken) I have the next one sche3duled for next monday...
Mostly things are pretty good...tooo small of a house and too many animals are making things a bit strained at home, but what can you do.

8:39 am - hair cut
|
so i am a little tramatized by a bad hair cut. i now remember why i stopped cutting my hair. I asked for a trim to mid neck and here i have ended up with a bob...they had to shave my damn neck...
i haven't had a hair cut where the hair on my head was shortyer than the ahir on my neck since i was 12 and i decided to get my head almost shaved, there was some character on tv that i liked. I have great memory of having to wear a dumb white dress to 6th grade graduation and having the sortest haircut in existiance and combat boots...not sure how acruate that memory is but i felt really punk rock. The picture makes me look really horribly butch...ugh.
Ah well. I feel tramatized, but as noel keeps reminding me. it will grow back.
Had a very nice mother's day...there were a few stressful bits, but in all it was quite nice. the best present was the kids sleeping in until 10. wahoo. Zach got me a "scary dragon" for mother's day in the form of the movie enchangted. it was quite cute.
Had the Mother in law over for brunch, also quite nice. We really did very little this weekend, but it was pretty calm and relaxing. it was nice.
I have to study/practise for exam portion 4 of 9 a week from today. Other than that the stress is hopefully beinging to wane. Although my new semester starts on thursday and my mom is coming the end of the month so we will see if things become very stressful. Without cigarettes noel may have a hard time. Yeah noel. Chantix was wonderful. I hope it lasts. i pormissed him a psp. now i have to find the money.

9:05 am - craziness
|
It has been quite a few very stressfull weeks. Zach may or may not have been molested at his daycare and we pulled him out and had to go through a DCF investigation (results still pending). Zach had a huge potty training set back at daycare and I ended up argueing with them for a full week back and forth between them moving him backwards to the two year old room becuase they didn't want to have a diaper changing station in ther 2 1/2 year old room. in trying to figure out why he had a huge set back it he said that one of the teachers (acutally one of the cafeteria workers that watched the kids at lunch. We pulled the kids out (in good part becuase the director instead of keeping the kids safe used it as an oppertunity to move zach into the two year old room and leave the guy in contact with kids) the completely inappropriate response made it not feasible to keep the kids there. it was not safe and the director was a compelte bitch. I will not get into the hell of arguing with her repeatedly...like her refusing to give us pre-paid money back or zach's clothing...i hate her.
Noel took a leave of absense from his job for 2 weeks, maybe more to deal with the sittuation. He spent last week home with the kids and dealt with DCF etc.
then the good. Last weekend was the double birthday party for zach and Tabitha...We had already spent a lot of money on it and even with the finacial crisis we are coming into (noel not in work, either more expensive daycare or noel quitting we had already commited and could not turn back)
It was very cool. Here are some pictures of the bouncy house, choo choo train cakey birthday goodness!!!
( Read more... )
Over the course of everything i had a huge project due at work on the 2nd. it actualyl went out on the 6th. the final presentations for my class were 5/1. the grades are due today at 12 noon. I have had to work a ridiculous amount.
now i have to find a new daycare. I had to ask for a raise at work to cover the increased cost (thankfully they gave it to me, contigient that Noel goes back to work so i can stay on his insurance...)
Oh yeah, and i have another portion of the lisencing exam on the 19th and haven't started studying for it yet.
oi. One day at a time. One day at a time...
As noel keeps tryign to teach me. Caaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllmmmmmmmm.......

9:10 am - potty, test, and pesach
|
Potty training is a pain in the butt, it is even worse with stupid daycare workers and daycare administrators that
A. don't want to change diapers (hello, you work in a daycare, that is part of your F-ing job, get over yourself) and
B. Feel that potty training is the most important thing in the world (how can they tell me that my son is birlliant and ahead of his class in intellegence but becuase he isn't potty trained yet he needs to not only not move into the next "age apprporiate cvlass" but move back into the youger kids class, f- you no...you will not screw up my kids brain becuase the damn bathroom is so important to you...that is ridiculous.)
C. Refuse to accept that kids developat different ages and in different ways!
D. Refuse to accept that kids need consistency and the more often you change staff, move kids around, pull them away from thier freinds, change strategies teaching, etc, that it may have developmental effects on the kids! (Zach was almost perfectly potty trained Before they moved him from his favorite teach into the new class room (he had a set back and recovered) then they took one of his best freidns and moved him into a different class (another set back and recovery) then they got a new teacher and he had yet andother more major setback and while he was still trying to recover from that they move his last good freidn into the other room and now he is really not doing well with the potty.)
It is a control thing at thgis point. the teacher tells him to go potty and he says no he doesn't have to go then..then he goes when he wants to, so it is in his pants. He is trying to control what he can and he is stuborn so this is his way. Poor little guy, we have tried to explain that the only way he can go back with his freidns is to only go in the potty, but you try reasoning with a three year old...ugh.
He did pretty well this weekend. two accidents yeasterday. I poop and one pee. the pee was my fault, he was in his high chair strapped in and i was trying to feed Tabitha while noel was out and i just couldn't get him out of the chair in time.
Poor little guy.
So on to the test. i am not sure why i bother studying, I am not sure if there is a way to study for these tests, it is such a braod rangeof knowlege and they try to take something, like "math" and make it deliberately comp-lex and vague. math has always been very easy for me, but take math through a govermental entity and it always becomes complex and they filter it through people that aren't good at math and it becomes even more complex and just plain vague and weird, it is like the poeple that designed the test didn't quite understand the math and therefore you haver to figure it out for yourself what the question they are trying to ask is. it was werid. And then there are the questions that are really just can you think like an architect questions. and nope, i am think most architects are flaky and don't quite think like normal people. ti is odd.
Passover was weiord, both nice and iffficult at the same time. two small children and a sedar are vcery difficult. But it happened and I am happy it did. We had the best brisket ever!!! to bad there weren't any leftovers.

11:34 am - weird weekend
|
Noel took me to disney on firday for my birthday. We left the kids home with my Mother-in-law. We went to magic kingdom and had a wonderful time. only downside was that splash mountian broke while we were waiting on line and that we didn't get to go on space mountain becuase the line was too long and i didn't want to waste that much time.
We fianly got to eat at the taco restaurant in adventure land that is always closed when we go and at the noodle resuatrant...hee hee. crazy ethinc food in magic kingdom is funny. I also got a cook book for myself from recipes from disney. that makes me happy.
Also got mickey shaped egg molds and mickey cookie cutter.
Zach got hooked up, goofy hat, coloring book, set of disney figures in squeezey plastic. Tabitha got a baby minnie stuffed animal and tee shirt.
Yeah, so we went nuts with the stuff and to food. I was so happy to be out with just the two of us...it was quite nice, if not that relaxing. (up at 5am, home at midnight)
Saterday we took zach bowling. that was hysterical. it was a ton of fun...zach made it through one game fine, but then started to lose interest. We then hit nick and Tara's which was nice, but a little trying, Tara really wanted the Chick-a-fil for dinner and ugh, fast food, but we went and Holden was a bit of a pain and there was a play area and ofcourse as soon as holden was finished they went in and wanted zach to go too. well our rule is noone gets up before everyone is finished, that got thrown out the window and so i went with them and tara kept telling me i was being too paranoid and i should just let them play, well her kid has been there before and is a full year older than zach. Screw that so i stayed and zach kept calling out to me and stuff so i am glad i did. finally i got comfortable enough to go finiosh my food and nowl had finished it for me becuase he thought i didn't want it. ugh. oh well. then sunday Nick, Tara and holden came to visit us since we had only a had a short visit the noight before. They were supposed to get there in the morning, i thought that would be great since they would help entertain zach while noel slept in. Zach's nap time is between 12:00-12:30 and 2:30-3:00. Tehy called at 10:40 to say they were on their way. They didn't show up until 2 hours later becuase they needed to get something to eat, so here we are waiting, past naptime and no lunch for us. Erg. so everything was off and I was frustrated and annoyed. Zach was acranky b-tard and things were obnoxious from there on. Just set us up for a bad day. I finally got us lunch at around 2:30-3:00pm and holden was hungry so noel gave him some of his food, which ofcourse he didn't take more than a few bites out of. Ah well. It just didn't go smoothly...ugh. it is nice to see them, but I have to stop letting our schedule slide. The consistentcy of certain things are important. I am all for varying the schedule and beinf flexible esspoecually for important things or one of a kind oppertunities, but i also need to not let our family get stepped on to accomidate other people for no good reason.
Then I got trapped int he car last night in a horrible lightening storm and I was terrifed and Noel had fallen alseep on the sofa and didn't hear me yelling into the answering machine 3 feet from his head and thus insued a horrible arguement. Ot was broadly topiced and bad, but ended ok...i guess, with us laughing over the cause. Oh well. shit happens. It sucks, but in all it was a pretty nice weekend. Just wish i had gotten more studying in for my Lateral forces exam on saterday. i may have to reschedule.
