prac·ti·cum (prkt-km)

NOUN:
A school or college course, especially one in a specialized field of study, that is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied theory: advanced practicums in teaching reading.

Had an initial chat regarding my practicum project for my Applied Behavior Analysis class today and I have to say I'm feeling a lot better about it. If all things go as planned, I think we'll be done with our project way before everybody else and I might get my second byline on a publication. Mmm... monikers in respected journals. Queens College has the worst set-up for a bookstore I have ever seen. You have to check your books in one area, walk to another, and if it's busy enough to have to wait in line to get into the bookstore. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't have two-thirds of the books I'm supposed to have.

My stepmom's stepfather (that sounds slightly awkward) died yesterday. He was 85 and ready to go. I mention this because I'm reminded of the myth that celebrities always die in threes. In other news, over 500 people paid respects to my aunt the other day and I guess the family is doing relatively well.

This full week without school that is finally coming to a close was a tough one. I couldn't imagine moving to this city on a whim, without having anything to do or fall back on. You can only sightsee so much.

On to gawk at the beach photos and see what I've been missing. ;-)

-Mmm cum.

-Glad your practicum doesn't looks so dreary anymore. If you actually publish something...that's so hot.

-"He was 85 and ready to go." I pictured this cute old guy bouncing up and down in a doorway with suitcase in hand, wearing an old golf cap saying, "Can we go? Can we go?"

-Did a 3rd person die or are you just foreshadowing?

-Mmm boobies.

God if you knew Hank, you'd realize how disturbing that comment is.

No, nobody else has died yet. I was contemplating the consequences if that did happen.

Mmm... salty boobies.

Kind of strange that we both posted comments on the same entry at exactly the same time. I half expected Woohu's servers to crash. :-P

I am forever connected to you now, through that moment.
