Keeping Myself in Check.

At class today, I would have gotten a perfect score on my homework on the Review Test and Trade Terms Quiz for Construction Drawing.  BUT, I got two wrong on each.  My instructor was not collecting the assignments.  He was just asking us what we got.  After we went over both in class to correct it.  So it would have been easy to just say I got 37/37 and 10/10.  He would have never known or would the rest of my classmates.

However, I would know.  And God doesn't sleep. 

So I was honest and gave my reply; 35/37 for the Trade Terms, and 7/10 for the Chapter Review Test.  My instructor was surprised that I did what I did.  While everyone else claimed perfect on both assignments. 

It's not about me anymore...But who I represent, Him. 

It's no longer a label.  It's a lifestyle.

P.S.
I aced my final test later in the class.

Oldest Ranch Dog -- Lucky, now in K9 heaven.




Lucky, our old ranch dog passed away sometime after morning checks, today.  We had her since 1997.  Her territory was wide, beyond the ranch.  She helped train our current dogs: Stormie and Duchess.  Great guard dog to the goat herd and our poultry.  Gonna miss that old dog. 

Came back from my morning ranch check. Dang, brown tree snake killed 5 of my Guinea keets. 2 of the small ones are missing, 3 of the big ones were laying on the ground of their pen. Not a good way to start my day.

Okay, done catching up on most of my sites. Forgot most of my passwords...had to request for it, then change it after I got back onto each of the sites or accounts. Everything looks good now. Sorry if any of you received some bogus emails from my yahoo account. Hopefully, the new PW will stop that. Have a good one...

Talk About Timing.

I got my computer tower back this evening.  It's working alright. I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't get it back today.  I'm sorry if you sent me emails or messages since I was last online.  I had to dump over 5000 emails on both my accounts to clean out my inboxes. Sorry about that.

As I've posted in my earlier post.  I'm a full time student at the Guam Trades Academy.  I'm taking the Construction Safety Officer course there.  I'm currently working on my Core Subjects than moving over to my skill courses soon thereafter.  I should be finished up with my core subjects by January 2011.  I'm doubling up my courses to finish faster. 

Starting in January 2011, I'll be  back at the University of Guam as a full time student.  I'm going to finish up my degree in Tropical Agriculture, emphasis in Animal Science.  I only have a year and a half left to get my degree.  Might as well do it and get it over with.  I've been on the long term graduation plan for way to long now. 

I'm also waiting for the upgrade to my VA disability rating.  I'm really surprised on the new pension rates for 2011.  It's about time...is all I can say.  I'm glad that were finally getting what we deserve, after what we did during our time in service for our country.  I'm hoping the VA finds my paperwork that was misplaced in Seattle.  Had to do all my physical evaluations out here on the island, again.  But, it's finally looking better.

I'm not working for IAN's Construction anymore.  I resigned last October.  I got tired of being placed on Standby, one to many times.  There were to many reasons to leave.  Main reason was lack of leadership, or none at all.  Other reason was trying to work a major project with lack of materials or equipments.  Then the boss ask why we're not on schedule.  Poor planning on managements part.  To bad, we don't have a Construction Union on Guam. 

I'll be posting more.  I've been writing a journal again since I wasn't able to post blogs. 

Laters...


Still Here, will be checking back once in awhile when I get a computer to use.

Computer Still Down, checking in, when I get a chance.

I'm curently at the University of Guam, College of Natural and Applied Sciences doing my precourse homework for Organic Inspector Class in two weeks.  Taking a break, I know I'll be here tomorrow to finish it off and then faxing it to the instructor. 

Lots going on with me.  I'm currently a full time student at the Guam Trades Academy taking the Safety Officer course.  I'll also be back here at UOG finishing up my degree in Agriculture in January 2011.  The VA will be paying for it. 

Hoping my PC is repaired soon so that I can get back online soon.  Have to catch you all later.
