Working It

1. What’s something you do more quickly than most people?

2. What’s something you do more carelessly than most people?

3. What’s something you do more slowly than most people?
:: Eat. What can I say? I am the “savor it” kind of person. :)

4. What’s something you do more carefully than most people?
:: Being a mommy. Or maybe I just think I’m more OA in taking care of my kid than most. :)

5. In what contexts are you more patient than most people?

More Friday5! (And a bit of a hard one at that!)

1. Be honest: what are some rules you have for yourself that don’t really make much sense?
:: I used to stay away from sweets and desserts, fearing our family’s predilection for diabetes. But, soon enough, I couldn’t make myself not have sweets – I felt that I was missing out on a lot of good stuff! So I just learned to take sweets in moderation, which made better sense to me. :)

2. What rules of questionable sense did your parents have for you when you were young?
:: My parents were (and are) pretty laizzes faire about my activities while growing up. All they used to say to me was: go wherever you want to go and do whatever you want to do, just always come home afterwards. It was perfect for me then, but I can’t see myself telling my daughter the same thing now. :)

3. What’s a rule most people (if not all people) seem never to obey?
:: Traffic rules. Aaargh.

4. There are no rules governing the giving and receiving of Valentine’s Day gifts, but what rules should there be?
:: Never give Fastin to your chubby wife. Although you may think that it can help her be healthier, its never a good idea to spring that one out on Valentine’s Day. Never. Haha!

5. If the Golden Rule says you should do unto others as you’d have others do unto you, what would the Silver and Bronze rules say?
:: Silver Rule – Love your country.
:: Bronze Rule – Diamonds and handbags are a girl’s best friends, hehe.

I’m sure that there are a lot of people like me who do not have enough time or money to take traditional courses due perhaps to conflicts with time at work or at home, as well as financial constraints. However, with colleges like Western Governors Online University and its online university programs, they make it accessible and affordable for everyone to pursue a college degree without sacrificing quality or student experience for the fraction of the cost.

In addition, their online university is fully accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) and the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) so every student knows that what they are getting for the tuition is a stamp of recognition for the school’s level of quality and reputation.

Now is the time to get that bachelors degree online. Its the best thing you can do for yourself.
