Babysitting, massage, juegos

I am so irritated with myself for accepting this job tonight. I wouldn't normally work when I need to go to school but I thought it would be ok. Now, I was just looking at what was going on tonight and it is a review of chapters 1-6 and our midterm is next tuesday. Oh well I can't back out now.

One good thing about my asl class is I have met a massage therapist and I have saved enough to have a good massage. I'm excited about it.

What are juegos you ask. Well juegos are games in spanish. I am preparing some games for my spanish study group and I am really excited about all we are learning.

Well i don't have much else to say or report so ¡Chau!

I posted this in response to an online discussion for my speech class and liked it so much I had to share.

I would like you to meet my best friend and worst enemy.

Who am I?
I am a lie.
A white lie,
A small lie,
Yet still a lie.

A lie told,
A lie sold
To young and old.

My secret?
I am believable.
Its totally inconcievable,
Yet absolutely liable,
That I exist.

I'll do it later,
You say to her.
Its better,
Not now, later.

I am a lie.
A small lie,
A white lie,
Yet still a lie.
Who am I?

You've go it, procrastination. Oh it you may not mean for it to be a lie in the beginning but it always turns out that way in the long run. Do It Now is a good principal. I often break things up into baby steps and when I feel like procrastinating, I simply set a timer for fifteen minutes and work on whatever it is that I am procrastinating about. Fifteen minutes isn't a super long time but it gets me started and when doing schoolwork, I work 15 and take a five minute break. Sometimes, I don't need the break because I am on a roll and then I just keep on for another 15. I learned these techniques form an awesome lady, her name is Marla Ciley and she has an awesome website, www.flylady.net
