1) I was lying in bed this morning when I woke up listening to a talk show on the radio, and they were talking about all the traffic problems resulting from the debris of last night’s windstorm… I was happy that I was mostly staying at home studying today so the traffic wouldn’t be a problem for me…

2) I took a break from the studying around lunch time and went for a walk in the Sepulveda Basin… I saw some turkey vultures flying overhead which was pretty cool…

2) My studying for tomorrow’s exam is basically done. I’ll continue some review tonight, but nothing that intensive. I’ve found last minute cramming to be unproductive for these tests. My goal now is just to get a good night’s sleep and be totally focused tomorrow… Thanks, by the way, to everyone who wished me luck… :)

Tuesday, October 27

1) I was happy to have the day off from work to spend studying for my exam…

2) I went for a walk late this afternoon at Lake Balboa in Encino, and it was really windy and colder than normal. There was so much dust in the air from the wind that the sky was kind of orangish-brown. It kind of made for a pretty sunset though (see the photo I took)...

3) I kind of liked the juxtaposition of cold and treacherous outside and warm and quiet inside this evening…

1) I slept in later than normal but still made it to work without being too late…

2) There was a funny sign in the lobby of my office building on an orange cone with a little flashing red light that read, “Roses are red, violets are blue, text on the stairs and get a big boo hoo”... I haven’t seen anyone get injured walking while texting, but I wonder if this has been happening to people…

3) I was busy today at work trying to finish a few things before being out the next three days… I didn’t quite finish everything I wanted, but I was happy to leave for the day and have a couple of days to prepare for my test…
