Oct. 26th, 2009 11:13 amI've survived midterms. It was rough going there for a few days last week. I produced over 30 pages of research in seven days time. It wasn't up to my normal quality of work, but I got it in on time so that's good enough. Each paper was beautifully formatted without any spelling errors or typos. Sometimes I think that counts for a lot, given the emphasis professors always put on it. Even if the research itself is slightly full of BS, at least the papers look professional :) This semester I'm really working on doing what I can do and letting go of those things that I can't. I can't be superwoman. I just have to do what I can.
Somehow Halloween has crept up on me and I'm so unprepared. The church is having a chili cook-off and trunk-or-treat tomorrow and none of my kids have their costumes ready yet. Petey wants to be a Pokemon trainer, and Zack and Josh both want to be grim reapers. Every year I try to get two of them to be Mario and Luigi but they'll never agree. It would be so easy and so cute! I have one teetering on the edge of agreeing to be Mario, but we'll see...
Right now I'm reading a book entitled "Eva" for my YA class. It's about a girl who was involved in a car accident and so her parents implanted her memories into a chimpanzee. It takes place in the future when almost all animals are extinct due to the population explosion of humans. Her dad is a primatologist and he works with the few remaining chimpanzees in the world. I'm not really digging it right now, but maybe it will get better.
