Oh hai there!

Well, I’d say at this point I’ve shot my 2010 365-day blogging challenge all to hell. Bugger.

Moving on.

Isis is still kickin’ it, as opposed to having kicked the bucket, as of right now. Her abdomen appears to be swelling, but it’s not in her chest like last time so I’m not sure if maybe that’s from getting fat on all the delicious food she’s been prissily scarfing 10 times a day. And a few hours ago I caught her licking the top of the litter in her litter box. Yeah. Licking. G.R.O.S.S. Also, why the fuck is she tonguing her litter box like it’s a salt lick? It’s about time to check in with the vet.

Sorry for leaving some you hanging in regards to Isis. I received a couple hesitant emails from friends not sure if I stopped blogging because of mourning the loss of my dear (litter-licking) kitty. That is not the case.

I have been spending my time in the trenches of college finals and/or epically procrastinating for said finals despite a heavyweight guilt pressing menacingly on my shoulders and general brain area. This is my fourth semester in a row of college 2.0, and oh yeah! I remember now why I was so ready to be done with college the first time around.

But it’s going well. In a couple of weeks, if I pass my damn 3D modeling and animation class, I’ll have a shiny associate’s degree in “Digital Communication Technology” (aka Teh Internet) . My current plan is to stick around for the remaining 6 classes it will take to earn a second bachelor’s degree, this time in “Digital Media — Internet Technologies” (aka Teh Internet, with Moar Fancy!).

Then I will be able to append “B.A., A.S., B.S.” to my name. That’s WAY more letters than my less educated immediate family members have! Too bad for them they can only put three letters (Ph.D. or D.D.S.) after their names. Okay, maybe five if you include the B.S. they each have. That’s the only concession I’m giving. Right now I feel like I need to win at something.

    You hang in there, and Isis, you hang in there too! The only way I’m getting another B.S. behind my name is if someone awards me the title honorarily (is that a word?). I’m just sayin’.

    Awesome blog, and thanks for the geek test :D I got 71.1107% yay!

    I hope Isis gets better soon, and stops licking her litter! :P

    Just a couple questions?

    What’s the A.S stand for, and how does getting another degree take only 6 more classes?!

    It’s taken me 3 years to get one BSc, and I’m now studying for another 4 to get my MEng.

    College 2.0? Cool – I did the same thing. First time around, I graduated in 1980 with a 2.000000000 GPA. Skin-of-teeth stuff. Went back in 2002 at the age of 44 with the goal of doubling my GPA and did it. That + $0.75 = one cup of decaf (hot, bitter, dirty water with no buzz). But it was a great experience! And I got a wife out of the deal.
