Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

I have a good friend whose ex-husband, a Jew, re-married a Christian woman. When their marriage started to have problems, she told him if he wanted to save it, he needed to find Jesus. Yeah, 'cuz Jesus will fix the fact that you married a jerk in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, they both deserve each other.
Oy.
