Little bits at a time

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

I’ve decided it’s time for me to quit dithering about grad school and start moving. You know, get off the toilet, so to speak.

I’m going to take the bonus that Knox Co gave some of its employees, pay the GRE registration fee and I’ve already bought a study guide. Yesterday morning I got up early and took the diagnostic test which didn’t reveal any surprises. It confirmed that I’m fairly solid where the verbal parts are concerned, but weak in quantitative section.

Then I’m hoping to enroll in U.T.K.’s Info Science program next fall. One class at a time, though a small start, is more than what I’m doing now.

I finally fixed the dryer yesterday. Turns out that a broken, $11, fuse was the culprit. Once that was replaced the machine heated right up.

Woot!

Pancake haiku

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

I want a pancake
Except I live in Oak Ridge
No good ones for sale

Don’t feel like cooking
The kitchen is still so clean
Hate to ruin it

Where is the IHOP?
Where is the Cracker Barrel?
No pancakes for me.

But wait! Theres a place!
She said “Jefferson Drug Store”
“Has damn good pancakes”

Sounds like a plan, man
Except this is still Oak Ridge
So they’re closed Sunday.

Its been a good week
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m used to that
