two down, six more to go!

My class is made up of 8 sessions, once a week. I took some quizzes this week. I've read the text. I've been responsible. This feels good.

:)

I haven't been a student in a very long time.

the end has no end.. or does it? in any way?

Dear New York,

Perhaps there is no end to anything, but there certainly are transitions.

I had the first session of my last class at Northern Virginia Community College. Before October 1st, I must apply for graduation, review my transcript with my assigned adviser and turn in all appropriate paperwork and then, I officially have an Associates Degree.

Big step? Yes! I will have finished something I started 6 years ago and be able to move on. Not only in terms of academics but work and my personal life.

The beginning of the end?

.... I'm coming along quite well. I'll be there soon.

Love,

Sadiqeh

OMD wrote a song titled Electricity

... the song is good.

However, I'm currently angry with electricity. The power has gone out FOUR times at work today!

And it does exist..

On this same website, right here.

I just had a great idea!

My father's cousin came over today to help dismount the chandelier in the dining room and switch it with the one in my parent's new condo. The difficulty of this was the incorrectly labeled switches on the circuit board. Yelling up and down stairs and through hall ways to state that the light is yet again, still on. Then, the last switch worked.

Anyway, this was solved. Appropriate tools were used and so on. However, I had an idea! What if all tools were numbered or labeled in some way that was specific to its owner's liking and this was used to remember what tools to use for specific projects? My excellent idea is to make a book that the pages are labeled to assist with remembering what is needed for a specific task. For example, today's project would be labeled as follows:

Project: Dining Room Chandelier
Tools: phillips head screwdriver, nose pliers, step ladder
Steps: Turn off switch on switch board, pull chandelier cap from ceiling, uncrew wire caps (whatever it is they are called), unscrew phillips head screws, etc.

Can you imagine having an entire book of this? You'd write the steps down after each project and then the next time you need to work on it you can just turn to the page.

Does this already exist? I just saw this, but it doesn't quite match what I mean. Something more like this.

Oh well, just a thought.
