Respond

Why do people not respond to questions? Last week I sent an email to my teacher addressing three issues that needed a response. No response! Yesterday, I left him a voice mail... no response. I have now left another voice mail and am still waiting for a reply. Why am I so stressed out? Because his class ends tomorrow and I need to find out when I can take the final! Only having one vehicle and a husband self-employed in construction, the logistics of getting to school is a nightmare. The teacher is teaching the class on-line, but wants his students to take the final in person. Funny thing, my husband took this same class last year. The class was in person, but the final was sent home and the students had two weeks to fill it out and then just needed to bring it in on the last day of class. Why is this so complicated? Oh, yeah... and the teacher hasn't posted any of the week's work that is supposed to be done by tomorrow.
Side note - I got my paper back in Philosophy - got an A-. Not too bad since I had no idea what I was talking about. I have found out that I get a better grade when I talk in circles and never actually make a statement about anything. Never get to the point and all is well. Go figure!!

Diet Soda

I was reading the paper today and an article stated that drinking diet soda contributed to weight gain. I am at least a 2 diet soda drinker a day (hey, I don't drink coffee and need my caffeine from somewhere) and that puts me in the category where waistlines increase 5 times more than a person who doesn't drink diet soda. Guess I need to find something else to drink now. Hmmmm.... now what do I put with my rum????
