Survey

Got this snazzy survey from Ginger.

1. what time did you get up this morning? 8:10
2. diamonds or pearls? Diamond is my birth stone.
3. what was the last film you saw at the cinema? The Dark Knight.
4. what is your favorite tv show? That's a tough one. There are so many! I guess right now since no other shows are new I've been addicted to So You Think You Can Dance.
5. what did you eat for breakfast? Coffee, which hardly ever happens.
6. what foods do you dislike? So far the only food I really don't like is Okra.
7. your favorite potato chip? I'm not a big chip eater. I do enjoy Doritos and Sunchips though.
8. what is your favorite cd at the moment? She & Him
9. what kind of car do you drive? A Hyundai Accent that, through no fault of my own, is so beat up but is soooo close to being paid off.
10. favorite sandwich? Turkey with lettuce, onion, mayo, and mustard on wheat bread.
11. what characteristics do you despise? When people think they know everything. I guess that would be something like "know-it-all-ism"
12. what are your favorite clothes? It feels so good to wear jeans after you're forced to wear slacks 4 days in a row every week.
13. if you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? Somewhere with really old buildings.
14. what color is your bathroom? Animal Print Color.
15. favorite brand of clothing? I buy things from Target, H&M, and Forever 21
16. favorite time of day? 6:30 when I get home from work.
17. where would you want to retire to? Wherever I spend most of my life. Why would I leave everything I know and love?
18. favorite sports to watch? Baseball is the only think I like watching.
19. coke or pepsi? Neither.
20. are you a morning person or night owl? Haaaaaaaate mornings.
21. any new and exciting news you’d like to share? I mean, nothing I haven't shared already. I guess I have gotten all A's in the 2 classes I'm taking right now. That's something.
22. what did you want to be when you were little? A mom and a nurse and a ballerina.
23. what is your best childhood memory? All the time I spent running around outside with my brothers. I don't know how people can stand not having siblings.
24. nicknames? Shawnay and Shaunda
25. piercings? Ears and nose.
26. eye color? Hazel
27. favorite day of the week? Sunday. I usually don't do anything except visit with Daniel and Kimberly when they come over and go see Chris play Hockey.
28. favorite restaurant? Chinese Buddha
29. favorite ice cream? Plain ol' chocolate.
30. which store would you choose to max out your credit card? I could do some damage in Target and IKEA.
31. bedtime? I usually get in bed around 11:30 and fall asleep some time around midnight or 12:30.
32. what are you listening to right now? Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TV.
33. how many tattoos do you have? 6
34. next film you’ll see? Oh man....that Will Ferrel movie Step Brothers (or something like that) looks hilarious. There's one other too but I forget what it's called.

Online classes are good and bad. It's a new thing for me to actually set aside time to do things. Going from being unemployed and having absolutely nothing to do to working 40 hours a week, playing softball every Tuesday night, and taking 2 online courses has been a bit of an adjustment.

I'm the type of learner that has to either watch a video/demonstration of what I'm learning, or have the material in my hands. It's been strange having to read homework and test questions on the computer screen and answer them. Today, I printed out some things at work and took them home with me so the material I'm supposed to know right now can be tangible. This works best for me. You'd think working at my job solely online (I work in the civil online dept.) would make it easier for me to process what I'm looking at on the screen, but it does not.

Right now I'm on the 4 year track for a 2 year degree. Let's hope that circumstances don't make it longer than that.

P.S. I'm going to see She & Him in 2 weeks.
