Throw away your ear buds!!!!

I am so completely tired of feeling like complete crap. I am finally getting over double ear infections. Seriously, if you can ever avoid getting cellulitus in your ear canal combined with a middle ear infection, do so. I felt like some one jammed a soft ball full glass into my ear. Not fun. If you want to avoid this happening to you THROW AWAY YOUR EAR BUDS!!! Granted I know my immune system has been compromised as of late, but the Doctor definitely said that we are introducing unknown numbers of foreign bacteria into out ear canals every time we insert those little buds. I love getting lost in my favorite podcast ( right now I am loving "Stuff You Missed in History Class" & "New Yorker: Fiction) but i will be diving into my own private little podcast heaven wearing humongous over the ear head phones  reminiscent of the 70's.

After being out sick all last week with bronchitis, I have lost any and all motivation to do any of my schoolwork for the rest of the semester. I blame it on the cough syrups laced with narcotics.. Those things will put you out! I have an exam in abnormal psychology today… I meant to study for it...

[jennituck]

I completely understand what you are experiencing!!! I have been sick this past week and feel completely overwhelmed by the amount I missed while I was under the weather. I feel like I need to just hibernate until it all goes away. Well, I hope you manage everything ok and am glad you are feeling better.

This video gives some alternative word choices for addressing hearing parents with deaf children. Such a cool video, especially you are newly exposed to deaf culture.

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween this year?

I think I have finalized my Halloween costume, well by finalized i mean I have it perfectly imagined in my head. :) I just haven’t bought the materials and assembled it. which of course is 99% of the job. in my head it is super fun, but who knows…

LOL I love the pictures!! You are so funny!! I am not dressing up for Halloween but we are taking Jackson out. he is going to be a fox!! The cutest fox I have ever seen, but of course I am partial!! :-)

[jennituck]

Aww that does sound super cute! I would love to see some pics afterward!

Well I never paid enough attention to the phrase “changed on a dime” or “in the blink of an eye”. It applies to everything. The seasons, the weather, how you feel, or anything. This weekend was just that. One moment it was a rainy drive to Tennessee, or a sunny but cool day walking around the...

I am so sorry you are having this experience. My thoughts are with your mom, you, and your family. You sound like you have a great support team, family is so important in trying times. I experienced a great loss this summer that has left me emotionally reeling, but i really don't know how I would be if it wasn't for my husband and my mom. We were all strong at times and weak at others, we cried and we laughed together. None of it made it easier, but knowing I was not experiencing this alone was comforting. I wish your mom the best outcome. You and your family are in my thoughts and if it does not offend your beliefs, I would like to add you family to the prayer list at my mom's church.

Anyone dressing up for Halloween?

Is anyone dressing up for Halloween this year?

I think I have finalized my Halloween costume, well by finalized i mean I have it perfectly imagined in my head. :) I just haven't bought the materials and assembled it. which of course is 99% of the job. in my head it is super fun, but who knows what it will look like when i finish it. Like last year, I had this AMAZING idea, I was going to be fire. Sooo yeah, I had it perfectly imagined in my head, I was going to construct this head piece and it was going to be amazing. No. Note to self and others, if you have something perfectly planned in your head make sure you allow atleast 24 hours to execute your plan or else it ends up looking like a hot mess. Seriously, one big...hot...mess. Fire Fail.

In my head .....

In reality.... you end up with a chicken wire hat and glitter.

I found this and thought it was pretty cool. I always seem to forget holiday signs!! I like the lay out of this video, it covers some vocabulary, an idiom and a sentence. I just started a subscription, their vids seem pretty informative. I particularly like the idiom and sentence section, since my grammar is terrible and I never know how to address common oral phrases that make no sense when interpreted into manual language. Their web page doesn't seem to offer any free resources but their YouTube chanel is loaded with their vids. Hope you enjoy!!

2nd Anniversary

I cant believe we have been married for 2 years already!! Time has gone by so fast. I was really looking forward to this years anniversary because Fall break and the anniversary kind of overlapped and it would be my first true days off since the beginning of the semester. We had no place to be, all stresses and concerns were abandoned (only a temporary reprieve) when we left Morganton on Tuesday morning. I still had classes but but we stayed in Boone and we were able to enjoy Taco Tuesday at Boone Saloon on Tuesday night. We had a great time. We hadn't been out for drinks in ages and you cant beat $5 pitchers!

This past weekend I went to Asheville with my dad to see my favoriiiiite band, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, at the Orange Peel. She is always either avoiding North Carolina or coming around in the middle of the school week, so when she finally announced at the last minute that she was coming,...

[jennituck]

I have to confess I had to look up Grace Potter & the Nocturnals on You Tube, I hadn't heard them before. Wow, I can definitely see why you were so excited to see them in Asheville. Really good stuff!

It’s Monday again, and it is quite a gloomy one. Last week was nice and relaxing, but as I suspected there are millions of things to be done now. Papers are due, tests and midterms looming in the future, projects to be done, and the GRE next week. October just got crazy! I sure am dreading all of...

[jennituck]

Wow you have a lot going on. Good luck with you GRE and the job. When you get the job, try not to over do if you can help it. Trust me there is no better way to work towards a nervous breakdown than taking on more than a person can handle. Free time is such a rare commodity in this program.  The extra money is definitely great but free time is priceless. Good luck and try to hold onto some time for yourself!

[jennituck]

yup

So how i feel when i go to take a test.

How do you study?

I can never figure the best way to study, i always end up studying the part the teacher never asks about. I write note cards or outlines, I define terms and still I feel as if i never met the material. What are some strategies you guys use? Is anyone interested in getting together for a study group?
