I'm not bragging, but

Here I am, not half way through the semester, and I've finished my online course. I have to wait for the tests, since they are released on specific days, but all the course work is done. I've 'read' the text, submitted the discussion board questions, and completed my review. I'm pretty happy about that. Stress to stress free in one day of hooky.

As far as my latest electronics exam went, I didn't fail, but I didn't do well. If he rounds up, I'll make a C. If not, it's a D+. And mine was the best in the class. *sigh* Hopefully Monday's engine repair will be better.

So yeah, I did play hooky last Thursday. Not that I intended to, but it happened. I was late, since Bobby fixed me breakfast. Then, I got in the car and the brakes started scrubbing hard because of the rain. Next, I had trouble with the turbo vacuum leak (just like before). And, if the car was going to run like that, I couldn't make it there with the gas I had left.

So, I played hooky for the first time. Ooooo. I just cheated myself out of two hours of learning. The sucky part was I also had my sign language class that day, and the teacher had worked the postponed class around my schedule. That I feel kinda sucky about. But I wasn't going to go for just one class - especially with no gas. That day-before-payday thing kinda sucks. Instead, I caught up my online classwork, took my test, and said "Voila!".

So now, I think I have all the kinks worn out. I have only one vehicle in my yard that won't run, probably because of a dead battery or two. Whoops. Now to get the ignition put in R's van, the plugs in C's van, and most of the sensors in B's van, and I'll be ready to tear down the Volvo. Sucks that the Volvo needs the attention so much more than the rest. *sigh* That's a mechanic's life.
