LONG time no see..

Seems strange to say the least, that it's taken me so long to return to this blog. But life has a way of introducing itself in its own terms. It's weird to read my last blog and shuttle back to over two years ago when I was struggling to finish my undergrad and frustrated with the insanity of school plays and administrators with moderate psychological disorders! What a trip.. I'm back because my daughter asked me to check out her blog :-O time if flying..

Today I took my comprehensive exam, which I thought I had overprepared for - laughingly ironic that it was not so.. Everyone that I knew personally walked out of that classroom with a sense of physical illness and failure. Most would have signed up immediately to take the comps again if that were being offered - even at $40 a pop. But despite the overwhelmingly nausea - which is a result of knowing there were several questions that I KNEW the answer to and yet somehow failed to make the connection until after I left the classroom - I'm going to attempt to put it out of my mind until the test results arrive in 2-3 weeks. Afterall, there really isn't anything I can do to alter the reality at the moment and I listened to Rosenthal drone on for over a month, which was a total of 18 CD's - everyday for over a month.. I've already had one bathroom visitation and a two hour nap, that's all I'm going to allow my nervous system to smack me for over this issue.

I think dinner at my favorite Chinese restaurant and nothing but relaxation is the order of the night. Thank goodness my daughter is so kind, considerate and cool. She kept herself occupied and quiet while I napped and then made me coffee. What more could you ask for?
