Your monster looks pretty much like mine.

Cheri's Monster Sighting

The creature towered over Cheri. It filled the doorway of the closet from side to side and top to bottom. Her bristly jet black hair was tied into multiple ponytails. It was unquestionably a girl monster since there was a lavender bow at the edge of each ponytail. Her head was the shape of a watermelon—broader rather than tall, and its eyes glowed a grassy green. There were three eyes on the head, and they aligned in the middle of the face. The monster’s one eyebrow was bushy and black like her hair and extended over all the eyes.

In the center of the face, the nose stood out like a dill pickle--bumpy and long like the dill pickles in the refrigerator. The threadlike mouth hid beneath the nose. The creature appeared to be grimacing at Cheri or maybe that was its smile. Cheri shivered at the grimace and felt extremely uneasy.

The monster clenched the door knob with her hand. Four thumbs and one finger dangled from the other hand. The stubby thumbs resembled the shiny black stapler on Mommy’s desk. The long and pointy finger emerged from the hand like Mommy’s pen. The skin on the monster’s dazzling yellow face sparkled in the dark, and its glossy skin looked like a sheet of yellow construction paper.

The monster wore a gloomy violet gown with lemon yellow daisies all over it. Each daisy was the size of a dinner plate. Cheri wondered if the creature had feet since the dress rested on the shag carpeting of the closet.

Wow!

As I started to read the other monster blogs, I realized that that is why I didn't go into writing. I hope that we don't get graded on our writing style.

Comparison Paper--HELP!!

I have done my research--I have my four benchmarks--I have the data about the machines--but I don't know how to write a comparison paper. I have four pages already and I think that I have too much information, but don't know where to cut it down. It gets very frustrating. I hope that I can find a good website for comparison papers.

On a good note, I did get my glasses a week earlier than I thought I would. I am so glad to be able to see again. Georgia ate the other ones for a snack. She is intent on driving me insane. She unscrewed the leg of my sewing ironing board and chewed it up. I would understand if we didn't give her any toys to play with, but she has hers and the ones she has stolen from my cat. Good grief dog, behave for once.

Ready for Class?

I hope so. I am rather nervous about what we are going to learn and how I have been doing so far. I am not so keen on online classes. I miss the interaction we had in class with the teacher. I really would have like to been there for this class. I hope that we cover networking a little more. I know nothing about it.

On the other hand, I am so proud of myself. I have been having problems with my desktop. It has been making the strangest noises--almost grinding like. My brother mentioned that it might be the fan for the computer or the CPU. So, I opened up the computer and checked it out. I think that I blew out enough cat hair to make another cat. I know that I got enough out of the keyboard to make a kitten.

When I am working on the computer, Thomas sleeps on his bed. I had to buy that for him, because he insisted on sitting on my arms. Georgia sleeps right behind me on the chair. She usually takes more chair space than I do.

Looking forward to class.

Glad this week is over!!!

This week I had to deal with students upset about their general education algebra teacher, look for two psyhcology teachers and then teach my own class. I did five interviews this week. I am so tired.

The good news is that I have hired two psychology teachers. I think that they will do great jobs. The one I called was just so excited to get the job and it is for only three weeks. I am sure that the students will love her.

I am also waiting for my printer to catch on fire. I am not an e-book type of person. I want to read and re-read the material so I am printing off the chapters. I am afraid to admit that I haven't been reading my texts like I should. But, I know nothing about networking. I mentioned that I was nervous about the quiz for networking and my brother said, "I can answer your questions. What are they?" When I started listing them off, he got very quiet and said, "Boy, he is getting detailed isn't he?"

As long as I learn something in the class, I will be happy. I am very happy about my grade point average right now. I have never done this well in college.
