back to school

Your sign of frustration is....Ignoring! Instead
of dealing with problems, you ignore them.
Your theory to problems, is that if I pretend
they are not there, they'll disappear.
Sometimes this method can work, but most of the
time it doesn't. For a variety sometime, try
using one of the other methods, which are
discussed in this quiz. It might feel good!

What a shock :)

Back at school, doing ADR full time. It's interesting and useful stuff, but a little tiring.

I am very pleased to find out that I won't be working with my idiot negotiation partner from December the whole month, though. We only do one negotiation together, and then I'm free as a bird. I'll either be working in groups/partnerships I choose, or in one-shot assignments where my mark is separate from any of the other participants. Phew.

Although the 'working with friends' thing made me wonder today. There's two other mature students I usually hang out with, and they're nice enough but one of them always seems a little off. Like, she'll focus on something totally irrelevant or wholly tangential from class as the main subject. We were working as a trio this morning and she did it again, and I realized that while this habit of hers is slightly puzzling and somewhat amusing when we're just chatting, it's really rather bothersome when you're trying to get something done.

The nicest thing about today so far: I got to take notes on my Palm! I felt so geeky. Unfortunately, since my fingers aren't used to the tiny keyboard yet, I got phrases like "The poinjt of doing thse exercsies is not to cgallop to a conclusion". I hope toi mporve to improve.

I need to get my damn car fixed. The electrical system is crapping out, and the brakes are squealing and giving up too. Not a good combo when the temperatures are freezing and the streets icy. Not to mention our radio doesn't work, tape player eats tapes, and time/radio station display has been gone for over a year.

There are few things as boring as Contracts or Property readings. ADR readings, astonishingly, manage to out-bore them both.
