I am desperately trying not to study. Mostly, it’s working.

My exam is on Thursday. I will report back then on SDMB as a study tool for real estate appraisal.

It is pretty accurate at depreciating the time left to study, though.

**AngelicGemma** started the 4th page of this thread. But if I log out and take another look, or if I put the other computer online and pull up this thread, it’ll be different. YMMV, but why?

My cat is sleeping inside my t-shirt. It tickles my stomach when she moves her whiskers and paws as she dreams.

I have just eaten a full tub of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream (Karamel Sutra Flavour) and I feel quite sick.

I avoided answering the phone myself for two weeks, as I didn’t want to speak to a particular person.

He never called. Well the first time I answered it guess who it was! (The conversation went ok though)
