It's In My Nature

So, way back in highschool I mistakenly took a literature class, and discovered the necessity of those little yellow cliffs notes booklets. Remember those? Yeah, me too. Well, if you grew up like me, your mother thought those were a waste of money, after all wasn't I in school to learn the very stuff printed in the notes?? Well, I found my own solution. I was the nerd who searched for hours online for a free study booklet for the novel I was battling with. That was when I discovered SparkNotes. It was pretty much cliffs' notes, only peppier. So being the overacheiver that I always have been I cut and pasted every bloomin' word of the booklet into my desktop publisher and made my own cliff note book. I even made it so that it was folded with a cover. Yeah, can you say nerd? By now I'm sure you're screaming "nerd" at me...oh well.

Anyway, I bring this up because while I was cleaning out an old trunk of mine last week I found five such booklets that I printed off. I did get an A in that course by the way. The teacher actually thanked me for writing a decent paper at the end of the semester because evidentally I was the only person to even try to understand the course material, and therefor the only one to be awarded an A.

So when you hear rumors of me getting things done early or beyond what was asked...just remember, I'm a nerd. It's in my nature. Unless of course you're talking about cleaning up my house. I cant keep up with two busy little girls!

And a quick health update: I think I just may die. There you have it. It's not that I'm feeling any worse than yesterday, it's that I stupidily passed on my morning coffee so add onto my head cold the lack-o-caffeine headache and that should summarize what a hideous error in judgement I made. (...currently nursing my beloved coffee right now to make up for it....)
