Wizzer's World

Yup, here we are, the day after. I have to say, whole it wasn’t the worst birthday I have ever had, this birthday was not all that great. Like I had said before, work is getting crazy stressful so when it comes to weekends I am really looking forward to just relaxing and taking the time off. Lately though it seems like my weekends are just non-stop stuff till Sunday. With cleaning and errands and work etc.. Friday wasn’t bad, I got taken out to dinner by a friend and such, but… Right before that I had to ground Andrew for doing something bad at school. (Not gonna go into it, but it wasn’t all that bad) So this put me in a down mood for Friday night.

Saturday I got to sleep in a little. When we woke up, we took our time and got things together for the Baseball game. Andrew did a great job and they ended up winning a very close game. After that we went over to Panara bread to sit and play on the laptops for a while. You see, Amy just got a new toy. A 12″ Powerbook G4. she loves it! It’s very tiny so it fits her well. It does have a small problem in that the touchpad is sticking up a bit, but it’s fully covered and can be fixed. After our lunch we decided to hit up the Apple store down at Tysons corner. A very nice store indeed. They actually do little workshops and such for people and it’s free to attend. Amy got a little lesson on her mac from the Genius bar. Shortly afterwards we decided we should just go home and relax.

Then the fun began.

Keep in mind that for the weekend, Andrew was still grounded. He complained endlessly when we went to the Apple store, was “bored” the whole time we were out. When we got home we watched a little Battlestar Galactica (You still suck Doc) and during that he was ok, but afterwards, when he had to go back to his room, he was Capt. attitude. This just caused me to get angrier which caused me to yell more which made me more stressed. By 11pm he was sent to bed and by 1am I was fuming. I didn’t sleep well and woke up on Sunday morning in a very grumpy mood.

Amy was nice enough to make me a bagel and Chai for breakfast. She had to leave shortly afterwards because she had to work. After a while of lounging and general waking up, I left to go to the store while Andrew stayed home to clean. I hit the comic store and the grocery store and just took my time being out. I did call my mom for mothers day. That phone call didn’t go well (not that many of them do.) When I finally got back home I needed to sit down and take a test for school.

Oh by the way, I am trying to go back to school.

Trying.

I applied at a school called AIU. They specialize in online school. I had everything I needed to start except one class, but I could take one of their online tests and take care of that. Problem was, it was math. I hate math. The test wasn’t supposed to be that hard and was only 20 questions. I started it and from the first question I knew I was in trouble. The questions they asked were insane! I could see how, if you were trying to interpolate the escape velocity of a Saturn IV rocket from a mars atmosphere with 3000lb of nitrogen fuel and a 54kilo payload, then knowing this sort of math would seem prudent. But how many people in the world do that sort of thing. (I dare anyone to find the answer to that one) When the test was over it didn’t show what I missed, how many I missed or anything just a:

Wonderful. I went and lay down for a while. After a short bit of self pity and quiet sobbing, I regained composure and went back to watching some TV (I couldn’t stomach being on the computer) We finished season 1 of Battlestar Galactica. Amy got home and we headed off to Red Robin for dinner. They didn’t even do any birthday stuff after hinting twice. I guess I just looked too pathetic. After all that, we just went home and went to bed.

Next year, I am skipping my birthday.
