Ramblings from a lingophile, pseudo environmentalist, former bus driver, and DC transplant.

The Uniglutton

Because my entire Thanksgiving "break" has been devoted to bus-driver training, I haven't had time to catch up on any of the school work or transcribing work that I would have liked to have done during this week away from school. Therefore I decided that instead of spending my one day off of training today going down to Boulder to have Thanksgiving dinner, that I should instead stay here in Edwards and work on my various homework assignments. Mom was able to go down to Boulder for dinner though, so it was just me, myself, and I here celebrating Thanksgiving. It sounds kind of sad, but it isn't really that sad because I don't really care that much about Thanksgiving anyway. Also, in the spirit of this gluttonous holiday I did consume an inordinately large amount of calories during the course of the day, so I didn't miss out completely.

I did manage to get some things done today, but not as much as I was hoping. These last three weeks are going to be tough; I have lots of things to get done and it's going to take lots of discipline and good time management to get it all done. This is one reason that I finally decided today to send an email to my transcribing supervisor telling her that I intend to terminate my employment there. I really just don't have time for that job anymore and I don't really need it anyway since I'll be starting the bus driving job the day after school ends. So, even though I will miss the money I made at that job, I will be looking forward to leaving that job behind me.

Speaking of that homework, I need to get back to it.

I usually try to pick a video that is at least a little bit related to my post, but I can't today, so here is a completely unrelated catchy Taiwanese pop song with some silly dancing. I doubt anyone will like this song, but that's okay because I like it. It's called something like "Open one eye, Shut one eye" by Jolin Tsai (睁一只眼闭一只眼).

I liked the video. Although, I'm not sure how trustworthy I am when it comes to Chinese pop. I like Guang Liang and Wang LiHong...
