Is it time for my vacation yet?
Jan. 27th, 2009 08:48 amI am very, very tired. My shoulder still hurts, but a lot less. It gets a little better every day, but it's annoyingly slow. I can't think what I did to it to make it hurt this much, but the conditions at work yesterday did NOT help. Unfortunately, because I'm working swing this week it means I'll have the crappy least-ergonomical workstation all week. This does not bode well for my poor shoulder. Ah well. I foresee lots of ibuprofen in my future.
My ASL class is going as well as can be hoped. I'm still having trouble following the lack of structure, but this week wasn't as bad for some reason. Keeping track of all my vocabulary without a reference/dictionary is a struggle. There's a test next week worth 25% of my mark, which makes me quite anxious. I've never been sanguine about taking tests, and apparently spending eight years away from university and school has done nothing to help my sang-froid. I should make a post about all the students in my ASL class, but that will have to wait for another time, as right now I have to get ready to go to work.
I've been watching Season 3 of Stargate: Atlantis, and am currently very very sad because they just killed my favourite character. ( Spoilers, ho! )
Anyway, I'm enjoying it, in spite of the combined antics of the matched pair of Xena and Conan. The girl in particular annoys me, as she seems incapable of using a contraction. What is it about writers that they think that not using contractions makes a person sound alien? It just makes them sound pretentious. The guy is growing on me, but his whole "I-am-a-total-badass-and-none-can-defeat-me" thing is getting a little old. It would be nice to see him get his ass kicked by something other than a Big Bad Alien for once. I doubt that's going to happen, though.
Okay, gotta run. Later!
