horoscope for the month! thank you Jacquelinebigar!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) *** You add more snap, crackle and pop than anyone anticipated this Fourth of July. Mars, your ruling planet, moves into your opposite sign, Libra, on Independence Day. If ever there was a month for challenges, especially with relationships, it is this one and next. You could be outright explosive at mid-month. You might say it is the other person. However, the activity is on your chart. Could you be triggering this person? Confusion mounts with children, loved ones and creative interests from mid-month on. Make a resolution on the mid-month New Moon to handle frustration differently.

Motto of the Month: Go for a stress-buster and get perspective before unleashing your fury on some innocent soul!

For yesterday:

Sang Blue Moon and Stardust with the band. It was NOT a trainwreck, which was a good thing.

I did grocery shopping AND Laundry in the same day, which is monumental and very important to my weekly happiness, so that is spectacular.

On Saturday night I watched a movie called "Run Fatboy Run" about a man who changed his life by running a marathon, very much up my alley.

This morning I have a nice cup of coffee, I am going to swim in a few minutes, and it looks like a sunny day. I will try to keep these lists simple.

Have a good day yourselves!

Day 3

January 18th
1. I saw my friends Larry & Les in class
2. I ran today, a slow 41 minutes, but I am starting to get back into the swing of things
3. After my run I picked up a few things I needed, laundry detergent, etc
4. My class (Modelling and Simulation - which is about assigning Number values to different members in a frame or truss and using the numbers to assess its behavior) got out early so Larry & Les & I went out to eat at an Indian food restaurant called The Karma Cafe, and it was very good
5. I got the package, thank you so much!
6. I deposited a few checks, yay!
7. During work-study, I was sent on an errand to get table-clothes dry-cleaned, an activity I have never done before. So I learned a lot about the world of how to correctly put in an order for dry cleaning.
8. I listened to This American Life about kids in politics, super interesting
9. I bought my books on Amazon for my Religion class, which I am really excited about

In response to "what is Multihazard?" it was the course that was listed on my grades as INC, meaning, Incomplete. This incomplete was due to the fact that I had misplaced a Mid-Term in the incorrect mailbox for the teacher. He did find it this week and told me that I have received an A in the course overall. I checked my grades online, and this is true, so the issue is resolved. YAY!

My GPA for last semester was 3.4, and my Cumulative GPA for college is 3.16 . Dean's List, BABY!
