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.

Date: June 22nd, 2011 04:11 am (UTC)It reminds me of another uncomfortable arrangement in small towns in Ohio. In most places I've lived, election voting takes place in schools. But in small town Ohio, voting takes place in CHURCHES! I was aghast at the appalling breach of separation, but no one ever seemed to question it. The schools are there, but it never seemed to occur to anyone to try voting in them instead. The mind boggles.
