Lazy Sunday (no copyright infringement intended)

After the refreshing 24 mile bike to and from Eichofener, Germany, yesterday I have been a useless slug for the past 36 hours. No joke. I feel like an old man trying to stand up because my knees feel like they might give. So, I've been bedridden for the most part. I did get up shower though, so no worries about bed sores; it's not that bad.

My homework ambition is about a -100.90 on the "Getting Stuff Done Scale" (or as i refer to it, the GSDS). Although the only thing I need to finish is a worksheet for German (I hope) and keep working on sketches (I don't want to talk about it). I realy need a weekend here for that sketchbook. Just do about a hundred in one sitting.... not happening.

Besides the aformentioned items, I've been thinking about next semester a lot, more along the lines of what classes to take. Right now here's the plan: RGS 200/ENG 201 (either will do), BIO 330, SPA 302, and PSY 326. That's only 12 hours. So my dilemma is this, keep it at 12 and try to work extra hours somewhere or push in another class or two to keep me busy. I can't add anymore classes required for me to graduate because I won't have enough hours to string out until Spring 2011 (I don't want to rush through and graduate Fall 2010; I really want to be able to give my thesis my all since it's being published in a nice bound book). So I'm mulling over taking GER 102 and a math course. I miss taking math courses. Although both biology and psychology require a good grasp on statistics, they aren't big on making math a large requirement. Which is a bit puzzling actually.

So, my hope is I can work out squeezing GER 102 in and maybe... just maybe, I'll venture into MAT 250 (Calculus). I remember having to work hard for my A in AP Calc in high school, so I'm a little worried. But I also remember liking it a lot more than algebra and geometry. But I haven't quite decided what to do with my time yet. It might be that I just stick with my 12 hours and work a second job somewhere. I really need to if I want to start saving for a grown-up mode of transportation instead of my scooter and my bike (although I'm perfectly happy with just both).

I know I've been lazy with this blog (especially pictures), but I have a good reason for why the pictures are so slow on getting uploaded (no excuse for the blog... I'm just doing a lot over here). Blogspot/Blogger is affliated with g-mail (Google's e-mail host) and through there you can use this program called Picassaweb. It seems nifty at first, uploading pictures into albums. But trying to get the new albums to be selected on the slideshow thingy on the left side (it says "The Dom" right now) takes a lot of work. I have to delete previous albums, upload everything again, re-send pictures... the whole process takes at least 45 minutes.

But just to satiate all those who are good in this world and have not succumbed to facebook (yes, you Grandma Jo. You are a better person than the rest of us). I'll put a picture here of me in my dirndl. Hope you enjoy this one until I can figure out Picassaweb.



Cheers!
