The things we women do for love :)

But I can't lie, I like it. *devilish grin* So I'm going to keep it up, my next appointment is in two weeks time.

I'm trading my sorrow
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

And we say yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes, yes, Lord. Amen

This is a song from a women's retreat I went to earlier this year with my friend Dee. Singing it, or even just thinking it makes me feel like all things are possible. And I know that I'll get home soon, and that all of this serves some purpose... maybe even one as simple as bring J and I closer together :)

Mood:calm

Sit back and relax

I usually get my best blog quotes in the shower. But then by the time I get to a computer it's an hour and a half later and the flashes of brilliance (well that's what my 6th form Econ teacher used to call them anyway) are long gone. And now that I have the time I can't think of anything to talk about, so I'm just typing. Let's see, big things that happened this week.

Oh! I start school at UCC on Monday September 5. My biggest fear is that my program isn't accredited yet. And fnding this out only after I made my payment for the first semester is all my fault. Initially I'd applied to do the Associate in Business Administration and I did all the research for that course, it's accredited with the UCJ (Jamaican college accreditation people) under the Institute of Management Studies (IMS), it's a fairly long running program. But then I got a call one day in July saying that because I have over 60 hours of college credit by way of my BA in Social Sciences, I qualify to get the BSc in Biz Admin in only two years, would I like to do that, they asked. And I, of course said yes. I mean who wouldn't want to do a Bachelors in the same time it takes to do the Associates for only a little bit more money?

Then at orientation on Thursday night as the VP of Academic Affairs spoke I just got a sinking feeling in my tummy. So when my Biz Admin coordinator got up to speak in our breakout session I asked, and was told no, the BSc isn't accredited yet because the first class graduates next year and UCC needs to graduate one class from the program before they can apply for accreditation.

Honestly though, I'm not daunted, UCU had only graduated its first class the year when I started... but then the little voice in the back of my head reminds me that Universiteit Utrecht (the parent institution) is well over 300 years old. Well, I have to at least go through a semester because I wouldn't be getting back my money in full if I withdraw now. I'm also trying to get in touch with the admin people at BPCC to see how I could arrange to transfer my credits so that when I go home I can pick up there... and if BPCC will take these credits, then I'll have absolutely no problems at all.

Where do you stand on spirituality?

Just something I saw on the net when I was logging out of my Hotmail account. Things have been so hectic lately I haven't even had time to blog! Jas and I found out the wonders of Windows XP Remote Assistance and it's a God-send, especially since he'd had to reinstall XP because Norton crashed and took down the whole system. Now he sends me an invitation and I can 'log on' to our PC at home, see what's going on and fix what needs fixing :) We were up quite late last night protecting the machine from viruses, worms, trojans and malicious codes.

Today was a typical Monday at work, just a bit more looking around and ordering graphics and images but we were done earlier than last week, so I can't really complain too loudly.

Speaking of complain, I've been doing a lot of thinking on that topic lately, and I believe it just may be one of my vices: I have been complaining quite a bit lately. And it's not that I haven't realised it -- yes, this is the excuse -- but I think I'm justified, I mean I'm trapped here! But no, I did think more about it and I've decided to quit whinging and whining so much.

Well, back to organising my Hotmail contacts, YES I'm a geek at heart, so no need to say anything about it ;-)

Survey Says...

That this is what men want...

And I know damn sure that I do not have an ass like that... but at least my hair is real! LOL
