Then There Was the Shame

I am not a fan of TED talks.

I admit it. I’m not techy enough, I’m not genius enough, I’m not cutting edge enough, I’m not NPR enough to be hip enough to be all, OMG it’s so deeeep.

I’m sorry. If you hate me now, I won’t be mad at you. I kind . . . → Read More: Then There Was the Shame

Using Democratic Socialist in a Sentence (or Condorcet and the Gray Area)

condorcet

It’s tough to use Democratic Socalist in a sentence. Mostly because there are these super-specific terms for certain mixes of conservative beliefs and liberal beliefs. Democratic Socalists aren’t really socialists, they’re a mix of beliefs that are slightly right of center and left of center. It’s a mix.

Exhaustion

I really need a vacation! I’m enjoying myself, for sure, but there seems to always be not enough time.

The semester ends in early December and then there’s yet another go round in Spring.

So Many Drafts

I like to think I’m all “out there” here on the blog. Giving you the nitty gritty of what’s going on here in ChezDecki.

It’s not bad stuff. It’s just stuff I’m not sure is right to share. Here. . . . → Read More: So Many Drafts

Have You Tried NookStudy?

I’ve been looking at the website and one of my classes for Spring has an eTextbook and I’ve been considering it but I’m just not sure what the benefit is.

Do I buy the eTextbook in addition to my regular textbook or is it in place of the regular textbook? Does it depend on . . . → Read More: Have You Tried NookStudy?

People Shot in Funeral Home

Do you think the director skipped a beat or calculated how much the caskets were going to net him in profit?

I Wish I Wish I Wish

If wishes were horses than beggars would ride, right?

I just wish I could hand over all this school stuff to someone who knew what they were doing and I could say, “Viola! How does it look?”

I have everything planned out. I don’t think I’m missing anything.

Except the stats class. I don’t . . . → Read More: I Wish I Wish I Wish
