Survivor, School and Presents!
Fri Feb 27 2004

We were LOVING Survivor last night when the votes were tallied. All I can say is IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!! For the reward challenge, I had to wonder if the losing team didn’t intentionally throw it due to their circumstances. You have to admit that the way it turned out benefited the losers more than it did the winners.

I would love to get into more details about it, but I don’t know if a couple folks who read me have seen it yet or not.

Hubby had the day off today, so we took advantage of this to go in search of furniture and a computer. The furniture is for all of us, the computer is an early birthday present for me.

We returned home victorious, and Hubby is now humming happily geeking away setting up the new computer. Unfortunately we won’t get the furniture for about another month or so since what we liked was out of stock and on back order.

Oh well, it will just make us appreciate it more when it gets here!

Looking at furniture also gave us an opportunity to drive out to an area that we really like, and would like to someday live in. Hubby joked that because it was raining here, and sunny there, it was a sign that we are destined to live there. Hey, that sounds like as good a reason as any for the time being (and since we won’t be in the market for a house for several years).

On other fronts, I’ve been angsting a bit about school. Not just about my final next week, but about the scholastic and career path that comes after that. I’ve been reluctant to really commit to one specific degree. I’m filling in all the requirements for the degrees I’m looking at, but have not really committed to any one.

Admittedly a good part of this is due to my not knowing if I can get through all the math, physics and chemistry requirements I need for them. And lately in math I’ve started thinking that a Liberal Arts degree is sounding good. Of course I already know how to say Do You Want Fries With That, so I don’t really need that degree.

All through elementary, junior high, high school, and even initially into college I had such problems with math that I’m far from comfortable with it. The last year of successes I’ve had has not been enough to eradicate the more than 30 years of mathematical insecurities. There may come a day when I feel confident about it, but that day has yet to arrive.

    What furniture did you guys get?
    You should stop worring about your math. So far you have passed with flying colors on all of it. That is alot more then most people can say. If anything you actually really GOOD at math.
    Son went to an open house for the new Computer Science degree offered at WSUV. Freshman year he has to take Calculas I, and every year after that it is more math classes. Talk about a person sweating it about passing math ! He is just past Geometry. Somehow he has to get to the calculas level by next fall. He has no math class this year in school. OOPS.

    Boy, I hear you loud and clear about the math. Required math classes have changed many paths.
    I'm hoping to watch my Survivor tape today. I watched the Early Show on CBS and saw that Richard got voted off. HeeHee.
