An Act Of God Or Congress

Honestly, I've got nothing interesting to say. My day was
like every other day in my life. Slow, boring and
amazingly similar to the day before and probably the same
as the next day to come. Enough of the self-pity. Things
could be a lot worse.

Snookums came home early today to study for the 1st Class
exam, which is tomorrow. He didn't do a whole lot of
studying, though. More napping than anything. I told him
months ago that he should be studying for this exam, but
he put it off and put it off and here it is the night
before the test (he takes it at 6am tomorrow morning) and
he's trying to cram. He's set himself up for failure yet
again. When he doesn't make 1st Class, he'll have no one
to blame, but himself. He used the excuse last year when
he failed that it was because he wasn't on the ship using
the knowledge and he lost it. Well, he's been on the
Stennis for 6 months now, and what is his excuse? He
didn't have time. He comes home and watches at least 4
hours of tv every night. He couldn't carve out an hour a
night to study? I find that hard to believe. Snookums
wasn't a strong student in high school (and he dropped out
of college). So, he seriously lacks study skills. I can't
MAKE him do it. If he wants to advance bad enough, maybe
he'll make it next year, because it will take an act of
God or Congress to help him this year. You don't know how
much I want to be wrong. Extra shopping money is on the
line :) But, I'm sure I'm right.

I'm going to go get ready for bed. Lost is coming on in 30
minutes and I want to get a chapter or 2 in before
Snookums makes me shut off the lights and turn down the
volume. Ciao!
