Tried and true
I don't know. This blogger/gmail thing confuses me. Has it occurred to anyone how dependent we are on passwords and pin numbers? At work alone, I have to memorize four passwords to get through the day. And then I have one for my yahoo, my blogger, my netflix, my friendster. And the list goes on.
I am going to be very busy this year (this I realized three months into the new year, on the first day of spring, no less). If all goes well, next year I will have learned to drive, be a US citizen, be in business school, and be in Europe for spring break. Sounds fabulous, doesn't it? If only I could get my act together.
I did manage to take the TOEFL two weeks ago. It went well, besides the fact that I was too impatient, was the second person to walk out, and as a result have no idea whatsoever what range my score is in . It was very distracting having everyone around you trying to speak clearly into their microphones while you're trying to listen with the non-noise-blocking headphones. While I was in the middle of writing an essay, my keyboard decided to get stuck and I had to summon a proctor who had to summon somebody else, while my time was running out. Also, I had bought Ticonderoga No. 2 pencils for the occasion but didn't get to use them as only pencils provided by the testing center were allowed. The test center was awful, by the way; their system consisted of a person calling out room numbers, which we were supposed to locate on a hand-written list posted on a wall somewhere. It was all very confusing.
Anyhow, as evident in my non-presence on the internet, I have been kept busy by other things such as weekly trips to Costco, outlet shopping, laundry, magazine recycling and the like, and will probably continue to be if I everything goes as planned and I get ahold of Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs video. In other words, I have been gaining weight like crazy (hello bacon and eggs everyday) and in dire need of an activity that doesn't involve typing.
