if you can state the problem in English, you're halfway to solving it

I must be in a perpetual halfway state and hit the wall there. Being able to state the problem doesn't help--from that point either I can code it without much effort, or I'm back to the diagramming stage.

However, coming to Buffistas and phrasing a question in the posting box, reading it, and then picking out the identifying words for a google search--that's answered more questions for me than it hasn't.

Headache. Up early. Unhappy. Nerve block on Friday. Every day I need it more.

Debet, re Colbert. I LOVED that! Good show, although I went to bed before the guest because it sounded like it was going to be painful.

However, Monday's episode, which I taped instead of watching when TDS turned out to be a re-run (all week it seems), was a keeper, so I'm psyched I taped it. The special Repor T on religion was the best whole show that SC has done yet. I don't think there was a bit that didn't work, and it was easily one of the best interview segments he's done.

Fun and games with Flickr.

The power of the hivemind.

ita, I hope your today will improve.

I made it to school. Now I'm waiting for my tutoring student and cramming for my exam that's at 9:30. It's gonna be a long day.

vw, in what subject is the exam? Either way, good luck with it.

Behavioral Neuroscience.

I didn't know how to study for it, because it's a make-up exam and will be all essay, since the prof doesn't give the same exam for make-ups (to keep cheating to a minimum). So, it should be interesting.

OMG y'all I just got home from watching Walk the Line and my accent has regressed like WOAH. so wrong.

Who said this? Because as Steph can attest, I totally fell back into Tennessee drawl when I watched this movie, especially 'cause it's full of tennessee accents.

She did, and it's hella cute when she slips back into a drawl.

Not the first word I would choose to describe an exam, but it's still OK.

The universities I know in Israel have a date for a make-up exam for each class, a "second chance", in case you had to be absent on the original date due to whatever reason. I guess there's nothing like this in your school, if today's exam is only for you?

Tep, good luck with the blood test today.

I remembered the other half of what I wanted to say about accents last night too--watching all this Farscape has also fooled around with my accent a little too, because Browder is from Memphis; and when Crichton gets a little whackadoo, his accent thickens up considerably and he says stuff like "boy" and "son." Now, while I never usually melt for good ol' Southern boys, there's something about Browder that makes me go guh. It's probably that he's a damn hotass.

I gueaa there's nothing like this in your school, if today's exam is only for you?

Yeah, American universities are only accomodating if you make them be.
