averygoodun42First, another amusing comment stream on yahoo, this one about, wait for it, education. Aw yeah!
I especially like this one: QUESTION: What are the schools expensis besides utilities and employees. Why are costs going up so much and so quickly?
*blinks*
But pretty much all of them are amusing for one reason or another.

Test today was much easier than expected. I probably could have foregone half of the cramming I did in the last three days. Half of the test (almost exactly) was about stuff I learned in accounting last semester, so I better have gotten that right. And another quarter was on content we covered in class, so... I think I did well, even if I probably didn't get 100%.

My garden is growing. It's supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow, but I'm not too worried, as it's not supposed to get cold enough for anything to accumulate.
Meanwhile, I'm plotting and planning what to do with the front garden. I have approval to plant a red twig dogwood shrub and a star magnolia, though I'm wondering if perhaps I should go with a pink dogwood tree. And, of course, crabapples really are very lovely...
Whatever tree I choose has to be fairly small or it will interfere with the power lines and suffer odd pruning. (And I've decided against birches because they're shallow-rooted).
I've also determined that the poor eunonymus that's clinging to life in the shadowy corner out front (and will need to be moved anyway, as we're getting an arborvitae there) will go beside the power pole. which will, in turn, be more or less next to the red twig, and on the other side of the red twig, I'm thinking of putting a mop cypress. Main thing I'm looking for, of course, is winter color.
I don't know. I'm going to have fun going to all the nurseries, though!
