While looking for some papers I had misplaced I came across some ancient stuff I didn't even know I had. My elementary and high school report cards. It was neat to see the deterioration of the marks with each successive year, up to the point that I barely scraped through. You will be glad to know that all through elementary school my best marks were in spelling, and religion!!! I can still spell fairly well.
The other ironic thing is that my worst marks in high school were in math, english, and shop. Basically the stuff I've made a career out of which just proves that it was all hard work and bullshit!!
Speaking of spelling and bullshit I just learned the hard way the 'aa" is an acceptable word in scrabble. I of course challenged it... never, ever, ever, having seen the word in print! Apparently it is of Hawaiian origin and describes a certain kind of lava flow. It's in the dictionary! Roo and I are into our third day of an ongoing game and I'm getting my butt kicked and not liking it one bit. My dad always told me I was a sore loser.
I'm a bit tired today from my race and as such spent only a half hour on the bike this morning. I did finally manage to get back in the pool however. It is hard to believe that I could swim 4 kms at the end of August because I was spent after 750 meters today.
That's it for today. Have a good one!
