Words of Wisdom Feeling: forewarned Again with my being adamant about postdating entries. I moved back the recorded time of this entry a whole ten minutes, just so it would be considered as written on the eleventh. I am potentially selective-compulsive. Words of Caution for Today: 2) If the above does happen, be sure to order the Toblerone cheesecake. It tends to make you forgive your friend. 3) When you are trying to work on your thesis, do not buy a bunch of interesting novels from the University Bookstore which are intended for literature classes that you are not taking. It is silly, expensive, guarantees that you will not make time for your thesis, and let's face it, if you read school books for fun you are a nerd. 4) If jumping from part-time student (11 hours) to full-time student (12 hours) means an additional three thousand dollars tuition, take eleven hours. 5) If grants are mysteriously disappearing from your financial aid, go talk in private to the department chair. Do not stamp your feet in the bursar's office. The former will bring you luck and money, the latter will bring you sore arches. 6) If you are going to put your phone on silent during classes, try to remember this fact before ten-thirty at night. 7) When hanging wind chimes on the porch, do not stand directly beneath the hook while screwing it into the overhang. Paint and splinters fall, and the left eye is not fond of them. 8) If the blinds are left open during the day so that the roses get sunlight, try to remember this before going in your bedroom at night, turning on your light, and taking your top off under the neighbor's supervision. 9) If attempting to write a witty journal entry, always plan a clever closing comment beforehand, so that it does not end on a lame note. 10) And remember that lists look nicer when they end in even numbers.
