So about four days after the Radon system has been installed, the current reading seems to have steadied out at 0.9 pCi/L. Since Radon's half life is 3.8 days the number really shouldn't go down much further, so now is the time to do the charcoal test. This will also serve as a good test for the accuracy of the electronic Radon detector we purchases initially. Ironically the test the installer left behind is also the same one the state of IL sends you for free. They obviously have a corner on the market.

So the other number that's important in my life lately is 3.31. That's my current college GPA after my last class I just finished up. I'm not bragging about it, certainly it's at best a B average, but really I'm just happy it's trending upward. Picking up the pieces after all these years and dusting them off hasn't been the easiest thing. Sure has helped to have support from Jen and her help. I'm just happy to see the negative effect of those wasted D's and C's hopefully washing away a bit.

Here's hoping my summer class goes well...now that my English requirements are passed it's time to turn my eye to Math. Math is not my strongest subject, so I expect to get very very frustrated at times, but at least my excessive love of comma's won't count against me in that. :)

Thinking back about my squandered and wasted academic youth sometimes conjures up feelings of nostalgia, and I always wonder if I should create an account on myspace or facebook. Of course after kicking that idea around for a few hours I always come to the same conclusion....hell no. I mean holy cow...I've owned my own domain for eight freaking years now, I kind of think that if somebody wanted to find me on the internet they'd have to be blind or dumb not to. Hell more people probably wish I'd drop off the face of the earth than are actively curious about what I am doing at this exact second. I really can't imagine half of the stuff I type is of any real interest to most people who trip across my site regardless. God help me if I had to deal with friend requests or glittery sparkle gif's....I think I'd have to have my internet license revoked. Plus there's really only two things that can happen...the most likely scenario is that I'd create an account, maybe befriend one or two people I know on that same social network, and then let the account languish in purgatory.....forever to be neglected and forlorn. Or the other scenario is that I could have "middle school lunch table anxiety" where I feel the need to show how popular I am by Gatling gunning out friend requests to everyone from my landscaper to the boyfriend of my optometrists daughter.

So either I whore myself out over the internet in a desperate gambit to show everyone how popular I am (which I am not) or I basically create a shrine to show everybody exactly how pathetically lame and friendless I am. It's really a lose/lose scenario either way you look at it. At least if somebody arrives at this site (which I've totally created and maintained for...oh eight freaking years now) and doesn't like it I can tell them to go "f off". It's my site and I don't do it for you, so if you don't like the go somewhere else.
