Reading Glasses

Me: “How do you like your new glasses?”

Danger Monkey, age 9: “I can see the leaves on trees now, and all the little stuff on the TV screen.”

Me: “That’s cool. I think they look really good on you.”

DM: “And now I can read Mom’s copy of the Hobbit cause the letters are so small.”

Me: (tears welling up)

DM: “Isn’t that good?”

Me: “Yeah, that’s good.”

Old Days

I have a big, major certification test in the morning.

Being out of school for a while, I’m amazed at how easy it is to fall back on all those studying skills I learned in  school.

So far I’ve started binge drinking sodas and eating too much pizza. Soon I’ll start cramming all the studying in at the last minute.

Sweet.

Just like I was college again.

UPDATE: It’s 1:00 AM. I’ve been grinding on practice exams for six hours. My first run was 15%… now I’m getting 85-90% consistently. So some sleep and then we’ll see how well the practice exams match the real thing tomorrow. Good night!
