My hat is off to them.

Took first test
Sep. 19th, 2011 01:35 pmResults were up before the next class started. I am not shocked at my 100%. I would be shocked if anyone did not get at least 90%. It was multiple choice, for heaven's sake!
Meanwhile, I take it back about my being dumb. ( Mini-rant about the lack of critical thinking skills in today's youth and such )
( Edited to add to school-related rant )
ION, life is going pretty well. It amazes me how much of a difference there is between my energy level now and what it was one year ago. It staggers me, actually. A year ago, I wasn't able to be in choir because it took too much energy to follow the music, keep my ear open to what everyone else was doing and make the notes myself. It was an exhausting drain. Now it's a joyful experience again, and it's amazing to me how easy it is to keep up, even when zonked.
I can move things around the house and outside without difficulty. A year ago, it winded me to take Babe's tiny bike down to the basement. It was so heavy. This year, the same bike was brought out of the basement (and given away! Whee!!!!) with minimal effort.
It makes me rather emotional to think of how low I must have been, physically and mentally, if this approach to normality is such a huge leap. A joyous leap, but a leap nonetheless.
And no wonder all I could think and talk about was my health. That was the extent of my life.
But anyway, it isn't now. And because it isn't, I must go.
