The Half-way Point
We're half-way through the month, and it's just now proving interesting. Yesterday I dropped my truck off at the brake doctor, only to get a call about an hour later saying that it's going to cost me about $400 to replace my brakes. I know there is a lot to do when it comes to brakes and everything, but $400! Holy cow! Mom and I are going to take Baby Truck to another doctor to get a second opinion, but I think it's still going to cost about an arm and a leg (maybe only a wrist and an ankle).
My friend called me last night right around the time we were supposed to get together, telling me that his little brother had to take his car to school (his brother's truck is having some issues), so we didn't get together last night like I was hoping. We have plans on Thursday to get together (I have the day off, and he doesn't have school anymore, so it worked out nicely), and hopefully we do.
I think the cold weather we've been having has slowed Himself's brain a bit. Last night we were talking about his day, and it took him a really long time to get a joke I cracked about his work. It wasn't even a very subtle joke, either! I waited and stared at him until the light blinked on behind his eyes (I could actually see the light come on, it was kind of creepy) and the gears started moving again. He's been working so much these past couple of weeks, and the added stress of not getting paid for vacation has shut down part of his brain until everything blows over (at least we know what to do when he goes on vacation this summer).
This morning at the end of class, we did the student evaluation of the instructor. I gave him a mostly good review (I did have a couple of 'disagree's on there, but it was mostly for his delivery of the subject-matter), but I did comment on how he sometimes makes a dry subject even dryer. Whenever the evaluations come out, there are always one or two students who give an instructor a bad evaluation just because they can. I try to be as fair as possible although I have my favorite instructors, so whenever I have to give them an evaluation, I usually give them a glowing review. My last math instructor, my Myths instructor, and both my photo instructors are my current favorites, although I did enjoy my first math instructor too. He just moved at a slower pace than I'm used to. Granted the first day of class was 'this is a whole number. This is how you add two whole numbers together. Tomorrow we'll talk about subtracting whole numbers.', so it was a pretty slow pace (most of the students were either older than me, or not from this country, so I always felt like the smartest person in class). Thank god I only have two more math classes to take, then I'm done!!!
