Late blogs update

I am sorry that I haven't updated in a couple weeks. My partner has been in and out of the hospital with neurological problems. I should be catching up with updates soon.

Late Saturday - Place Review

Restaurants:

Honestly, I wish that I could review a specific cook or a specific waiter, because usually it is the fault of one, the other, or both, that makes my stay at a restaurant uncomfortable.

I could wait an hour for food, or have to ask for my check 4 times. Get a salmon that isn't cooked at all in the center. (Got food poisoning off of that one.) But not every single cook, nor every single waiter, has fault in the actions.

I went to Outback steak house in Christiansburg, Virginia on 8/30/2012, The waiter was very friendly. My eating partner's plate was amazing, the food tasted wonderful, my plate however, my steak and asparagus was very much over spiced. Now, the waiter offered to get me a brand new steak, as mine was too spicy to bear.

Now do I give the whole restaurant a bad review because of one mistake a cook made, or a good review because the waiter was willing to go above and beyond what most would do.

Now, I have gone to this Outback many times without any issues with food or service. That is honestly what I have to look at. What is the history of this restaurants service with me. What are my experiences.

Overall this Outback has AMAZING service, and AMAZING food. If you have a problem with something, Let them know, they will usually take care of you very well. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a great steak.

Late Friday Post - Weekly Topic - Dreams

~Dreams~

Dreams are a part of our life that takes all the control that we cannot. Meaning, you are in for one hell of a ride!

In dreams we are surrounded by monsters, magic, science fiction, and impossibilities galore.

I still remember a dream when I was very little. I was waiting at school and my aunt drove to pick me up from school. I was 5 and my aunt was 7.

She drove me to a metal box. One of the storage boxes with the swinging front doors and like a trailer box. On the far-long side of the box were ports into another world. My grandma was fighting them off with sticks. My Aunt picked up some longer sticks to help my grandma fight the monsters.

I was told to help but I was too afraid of the monsters. I turned around to the other side of the box and found a slide going down. At the bottom of the slide I found a candy store. There was a door behind the counter but no one else was there. A moment later Martha (Hippo) came out of the door and saw me.

She sighed, shaking her head, telling me that I should not be there and came to me from around the counter. She led me to some stairs behind me (Slide was gone now). At the top of the stairs I was back in the trailer box with my grandma and aunt.

Impossibilities:
~My 7 year old Aunt could drive.
~Another world was coming into my world, through
~My Aunt and Grandma were monster hunters.
~There was a slide going down to another world
~The world was run by George and Martha.
~hippos can talk
~Slides turn into stairs
~Worlds vanish and reappear.

This is one of the craziest dreams I ever remember having.

Other crazy dreams can include places that you have been too, such as a department store. Places you have never been, such as a futuristic castle. Or places that could never exist. In my experience, it is rare to know that you are sleeping even when the dream is very bazaar.

I feel that your dreams are just dreams. They are not teaching you how to survive any scenario, they are not our subconsience reveling its deepest/secret desires, they do not show us our future. They are just some damn good entertainment to keep your attention while you are sleeping, so you don't get too bored and wake up ;).

Wednesday Post Random/Book Review- The Hunger Games Trillogy - SPOILERS-*****

SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!

Advice Post #1 - Books and Study Time

So, School starts on Monday and yesterday was day number one of financial aid book charges. The school was only letting in about 15 people at a time (it didn't matter if some of those people were just accompanying others that were buying books. They even counted the children.) So it took me an hour and 20 minutes to get into the book store. After I was in it was only a few minutes before I had all my books in my basket and was waiting in line. The woman in front of me was bragging about how she would buy the clothes, flash drives, and pens in her basket with financial aid.

I wasn't in the best of moods at this point. It was already past 12:30pm, I hadn't eaten at all yet, and my books were so heavy that they popped my shoulder out.

Now, I know the rules of financial aid. You can get books, 1 book bag under a certain amount, about 3 pens, and software. Instead of letting the woman know, I let her get all the way to the front of the line just to have them tell her that she had to put 90% of her basket back on the shelf unless she could pay out-of-pocket for the items. She was really upset. Later after I ate, I felt terrible. I am usually a very kind person and I help people out when I can.

So, that was just a prelude into the advice that I meant to give. Every year I buy a bunch of those plastic tabs, the ones that you stick on a page to mark something. When I buy my books I place those tabs at the beginning of every chapter. Chapters usually get one color, and then table of contence, indexes, and the glossery get another color. I do this because while I am in class--or when I am studying--it helps me find the page I am looking for faster. It also helps let you know the distance you have to read just by looking at the tabs.

I tried going a semester without tabs in any of my books and it made my study time a lot longer.

Basically what I am saying is: Find a way that you can make your study time shorter, so that you have more time to breath in between courses, because everyone needs some down time. If you just work non-stop then you will have some serious problems. You are going to crash and that will affect your grades and work-ability.

Some schools have already started, but some have yet to start. Good luck everyone!!!!!

Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability. If I don't have an answer I will either try to find it or direct you to someone that knows.

Thankyou.
