BR books arrival.
Came in 12/28. Still don't get why fedex always says i'm not home when i am. The UPS guy left this place after 12:30p and the fedex guy i believe just left a note on my door at 1:00pm and probably went straight to the office. Whatever happened to knocking.
Anyway, the ochem despite it's 2012 copyright looks like the old one i have. Now, i haven't perused the book yet but just skimmed quickly through it. The physics on the other hand has undergone a good deal of a make-over. Complete make-over in terms of formatting and not much of a makeover when in terms of content. it doesn't have the phases like the rest so i'm planning on using the 25 question review as phase one and the 52 question test as phase II. What will i use for phase 3? TPR passages and kaplan.come to think of it, it works out fine.
The gen chem looks pretty much the same and it should be because the copyright is 2010 which is the exact same one i had earlier this year.
Now, i need to finish my prelimary perusal of the material before i dive into these books. Tried to bid on the GS tests tonite and i didn't win. next one is up next week. Hope i win.

BR books
I was expecting Berkeley review to send me an email monday letting me know by books have been shipped. Nada. Last night at work, i decided i'll call them today and ask what's going on considering their check cleared my account first thing last monday which means they got it around wednesday and cashed it thursday or even Wednesday.
Anyway, the email is there. I'll get the item on the 28th. Looks like my initial estimate was right. Oh well, i hope they get here.

Associating phone voices with race
Considering i worked over the phones for 3 years, I think i've every right to comment on this issue. For all the years i worked for West, each time a person tried to guess my race,they'd think caucasian. Few times i've gotten asian (i'll say less than 5% of the time.) On rare occasions i've gotten german, it's the only other one i can think off. Most of the time, people think i'm from north carolina or they'll ask which part of the south are you from.
There's been times i've spoken over the phone with people, arranged to meet up and the first thing they tell me when we meet is "i thought you were white." I remember the first time i was supposed to meet Fred, i remember passing by him several times on Snyder and calling him and telling him what i was wearing and yet he said he couldn't locate me. So i went back to north philly, then he came to pick me up and said, i was expecting a white girl.
I've had people tell me "you don't talk black." Now, for those people, i'd like to ask, how is a black person supposed to speak? I've had few coworkers tell me i'm the whitest black person they've seen.
I usually expect patients to pick up an accent but instead they either think i'm from north carolina or from the midwest (Ohio is the most frequent guess). I'm still not sure where the north carolina vibe comes from.
Nevertheless, I've always felt all these people are colored by the stereotypes in the American society. Well, i guess i'm colored, too.
Today a young man called me and I think i coulda put my hands on a stack of bibles and sworn he was black. Did he sound black? I don't think so but he was overly polite over the phone. He called me ma'am,then miss and i don't know but come to think about it, i shouldn't have assumed that cuz i had a white prisoner for a patient the last time and he talked just like that - yes ma'am, thank you, etc. Anyway, guy shows up and out steps a white dude.
Guessing by the look on his face, he was a little surprised my color too. LOL...I guess we're all susceptible to a little misperception or what i call 'coloring' at one point in time. I didn't post the nitty gritty of the details but the whole thing just cracks me up.

Mdapps
I spent the last 3 or so hours on mdapps looking at applications that i felt would be relevant to me and i have to say i'm going to have to fight an uphill battle. It was a little depressing. Lot's of rejections and not hearing back from schools. Kyrie Eleison

Running
It's been a while since i went to the gym. Put running on the back burner in the summer to study, then i got lazy. Anyway, i decided a little exercise won't hurt so i got on the threadmill today and it wasn't bad. Only did a little over a mile, ran half of it, walked the rest. I plan to at least get to the point of running 1 mile by the end of december. Then i'll up it from there.
I also read my kindle while i was on the threadmill. It actually kept me distracted which is a good thing.

Five orange pips
Amazon's kindle has me reading all these free old books and among them, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Reading that got me interested in watching PBS 'Sherlock', which btw i like. Anyway, the actor mentioned the five orange pips and i can't help remember how i felt after reading that.
I felt sad, sad at the fact that the young innocent man was killed. His uncle, i don't care so much about. I mean i don't know what he did with the KKK and if they chased him to england, well... life is what you make it. His nephew on the other hand was innocent, had no idea what was going on and the fools didn't give him a chance.
The only thing i'm left to wonder is did the ship sink because of the equinoctial or whatever gales they were having or was there something 'fishy' involved. The question is did the ship sink? Oh well...i wish i knew.

Powerscore RCB
It's obvious i'm desperate. I've come to realize that logic is important when it comes to this exam. i've been a little lazy reading the logic book i got from amazon. I took a look at Powerscore's LRB and i thought it is a better choice than the logic text simply because it teaches how to take tests.
Today, i went down to UB to borrow their RCB. I was a little surprised they didn't have it on reserve. CCBC has the LRB on their reference shelves so you can't even check it out. Anyway, i read through the RCB and i like it. I've only done a little over 20 pages but so far, i feel like it's the best of EK verbal along with the Ivy Hall verbal mastery. EK offers strategies which i find here but explained more in detail in a way that i like. Ivy Hall goes into question types and tells you to read and all that but the RCB offers that and something more. It actually offers practice.
Plus it includes stuff from myreading lab. So far, it's talked about transitional phrases, active reading and context clues for meanings. I think this is the best of everything.
So, i'll use this for the rest of december, do their passage type training and see how i do when i start TPR tests. Must i add that i think i'm reading a little faster now and i'm vocalizing less. I'll post an update on how i'm doing later.

Relapsing
I made a couple purchases at my favorite retailer for shoes black friday week. then purchased another last week and today i made 4 purchases, 3 shoes and a handbag. What happened to the recovering shopaholic i knew.
The deal now is no more shoe purchases till next year. Since I didn't get time to open the box for the brown skechers boots, i'm starting to think it wouldn't be too much of a bad idea to have UPS pick it up and return it. That's something worth considering.
Must i say that i purchased all shoes and bags today at 60% off with an additional 30% off. So in essence, i purchased hundred dollar shape-ups for less than 28 bucks. In my defense, i made the purchase because the last pair of skechers i bought during the black friday sale, i paid $37.60 and i considered that a very good deal. These are 10 bucks less. The rampage bag was something i'd been eyeing for a long time, and at that discount, i just couldn't pass it up. The last shoe i purchased was a 5" lauren jones pump, would pass for a louboutin, but anyway, by adding it to the other 3 items, it came out about 24 bucks. That shoe actually costs about 110. I ended up paying 63 bucks with my card because i had a gift card balance.
I was planning on using the gift card balance for those traciela books but it turns out powerscore has the same thing for $22. I'm waiting for another gift card from chase and God help me use it for the powerscore book and nothing else.
The worst part of today, i was supposed to finish up kinematics and equilibrium. What did i do? nada. I did finish up supporting details in my reading lab.
It's december, hospitals experience low census during this time and i think with all the extra free time i'll get, i need to chanel that to finishing the TPR books instead of spending it shopping. Heaven knows i've no room for more shoes. Plus, i'm earning less, too.

Berkeley Review
Last year, i mailed my check to BR before thanksgiving and received my books about 4 weeks later. i think i was 2 or 4 days away from the 4 week mark.
This year, i mailed it on December 3rd. Today is the 13th and i see the check in my account so i'll see how long it takes to get the books. I have a feeling i may get them by the end of next week. I believe they'll hold onto the check for a while but i'm thinking the by the 24th, they'll be here.
My initial anticipation was that They'll make it here by the 28th or 29th. My fear was that they'll make it here after the first. Right now, only time will tell.

evaluating my readin
The first time i took a speed reading test from reader's edge, it was online and my wpm was over 300. That was after practicing with acereader pro, mostly playing their games. Prior to that, my effective reading rate was about 201.
Anyway, when i downloaded the program 2 days later, my initial reading rate with reader's edge was 275 with 100% comprehension, 325 with 75%, 324 with 100% comprehension and 280wpm with 100% comprehension.
After a week of going through 41% of their material, doing the recognition, motility, horizontal and vertical excerices, i take a comprehension test and my rate is 266 with 100% comprehension. So my comprehension level is the same but my rate is down. The report generated by the program shows a downward trend.
Should i have gone with my gut feeling and ordered acereader pro considering the fact that i tried increased my rate from 200 to 300+ in just a nights use? Right now, i'll keep doing the exercises daily for the next whatever days on the reader's edge and see how i do. if i continue to go down, i'll certainly take advantage of the moneyback guarantee and try acereaderpro instead.

walking tired
Work last night was great, for a thursday night. Great patient, went up to 14 for my 30min break, came down and strecthed out. Really good. Somehow i was tired by morning.
Went to the new hospital for the one hour tour and i was just dragging. Even these senior RNs who worked in the rehab floor and had 10patients were walking so fast, i was amazed. All in all, my feet hurt. A little surprised considering i wasn't running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Anyway, i got home, decided to mail my check to TBR ( original plan was to send it through the hospital's mail chute but i forgot the check at home.) Considering i cruised controlled down 95 home, i decided i was too tired to drive to the post office which is about 2 -3 blocks away. So i decided to walk to the mailbox by the 7 eleven.
Wore my skechers shape-up boots for the first time and boy, oh boy, i did not feel the pressure on my legs and thighs. I think i hurt because i place the weight on my sole because the skechers shoe puts the weight somewhere in the middle and i actually enjoyed walking to the mailbox and back. I didn't want to stop walking. I paid $49 bucks for these black ones and $44 for the brown ones i ordered yesterday at 70% off. I'm sure the timberland boots i wanted will be good but considering the comfort of these skechers, i'm glad i went with them.

Shameful encounter
So i'm back from work, instead of going straight to bed, i make breakfast and watch psych. When that's done, i start to surf aimlessly and somehow i check chase's website. I see 2 charges for $12.71 from target. Without thinking further, i say to myself "i've been charged twice for the crockpot and mixer." So I leap out of bed and drive straight to target. Mind you it's almost 11am.
I get to target and tell the poor young fellow i've been charged twice. He talks to someone over the phone but the person tells him he can't find the transaction. I tell the fellow i also want to exchange the slow cooker since the bottom is scratched. I keep waiting, grab the new cooker, come back and keep waiting.
So i get impatient, very impatient. And start telling the guy it would take 30seconds to clear this up with chase instead of waiting hours. Then i ask if the person we're waiting for is coming. No response. Then i start pacing, impatiently. Then i tell the guy, to just do the exchange i'll go through chase. At this point i'm irrate because i've been waiting for forever and talking loudly, not loud as in yelling but... Anyway, i still wait and i'm more irrate because the guy seems to be doing other stuff and i feel like i'm being ignored. So he tells me i bought i curling iron and i go "i didn't buy a curling iron! Can you pull the receipts instead of having me stand here. i have slept since yesterday." Not in that exact order but i did say those things at different points.
For a second, I pause to think and ask myself, did i purchase anything else from target besides the pantene for $4 and the black friday deal? It starts to dawn on me that i may have purchased the kinky curly that day. To avoid disgrace,i tell the poor fella to check the cooker out and that i'll leave right away, i can't wait any longer. Guy ignores me still, goes about his business while i stand and wait. Then when the person finally shows up, he's pulled the receipts and tells me the two $12.71 charges aren't for the same thing. Lo and behold, i did buy the kinky curler knot today that same afternoon and i believe i paid $11.99 for it which also adds to $12.71 with tax, just like the crockpot and mixer. To conceal my embarassment,which i didn't show, i just kept on acting angry, got the exchange for the cooker and stormed off.
Shame on me! I kept saying to myself how much shame i feel and how guilty i feel for my awful, awful, disgusting behavior. I totally regret the behavior and if there's anything beyond shame, it's exactly what i feel. I made someone's workday misreable as a result of my stupid ignorance and impatience. I did not take a second to think when i saw the transaction online. All i did was jump out of bed and head out. And then i went to the store and prolly made the poor fellow feel bad although as i type right now, i feel like he has my attitude of tuning out whinny patients because he didn't seem to care that much and only seemed to not wait to get rid of me.
Nevertheless, a little patience would have benefited me. Taking a 2nd look would have saved me the gas, time and energy of driving to the store as well as the shame. A nicer attitude and i would've been a pleasant person to deal with and while my impatience could be due to the fact that i wanted to run there and run back quickly to sleep, maybe i shouldn't do stuff like this on no sleep, just so i don't appear rude. I kept apologizing to God all the way home and was appalled at my shamelessness. Had i been pleasant and calm, i could've easily admitted my fault and apologized. I've seen people do that when they laugh and say "my bad, i thought it was such and such..."
Lesson learned is be pleasant always even if you think those you're dealing with have wronged you and you are in the right. Be patient with others and be considerate of others. Lord i've been in situations where i feel patients/+ their families were impatient or inconsiderate and i found that very hard, stressful and just annoying to deal with. And here i am being an awful customer. Yes, the guy may have taken forever, the poor fellow was prolly ignoring me to deal with me but that didn't mean i had to act all annoying and irrate.
Lord, please help me to be pleasant and patient always when dealing with my fellow humans. And please forgive me and i hope the poor fellow finds it in his heart to forgive me. That said, it's gonna take me a while to set foot in this target. I know the last time i went there was over a year ago and after this annoying behavior that even i wouldn't put up with, Christe eleison.

Lesson learned is be pleasant always even if you think those you're dealing with have wronged you and you are in the right. Be patient with others and be considerate of others. Lord i've been in situations where i feel patients/+ their families were impatient or inconsiderate and i found that very hard, stressful and just annoying to deal with. And here i am being an awful customer. Yes, the guy may have taken forever, the poor fellow was prolly ignoring me to deal with me but that didn't mean i had to act all annoying and irrate.
Lord, please help me to be pleasant and patient always when dealing with my fellow humans. And please forgive me and i hope the poor fellow finds it in his heart to forgive me. That said, it's gonna take me a while to set foot in this target. I know the last time i went there was over a year ago and after this annoying behavior that even i wouldn't put up with, Christe eleison.
