cline Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ bwaaaa haaa haa That is AWESOME! the stairs for a croc would have to be pretty shallow b/c they don't have very long legs. But crocs can climb up a river bank... Best advice for croc escaping is to run in zig zag pattern and then get up on something like a counter or a car or something. I think running up the stairs and locking yourself in the bathroom works just fine for croc escape (although not for crazy ghost killer escapes). Crocs.... man those things are super cool. Nile crocodiles are awesome and get HUGE! I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

I'm just having a tough time with it emotionally. it's hard. We get very attached to our writing and to our "babies". Sometimes it's really hard to feel crushed. To be really really honest, profs really want work to improve. Once, in my master's program I got a grade lower than I expected on a paper for a professor I really respected. The only comment "This is not up to the usual quality of your work". I was soooooo pissed. That was the only comment on the paper. Man was I pissed. I steamed for a few days. Then, I sat down and re-read my brilliance, the whole time KNOWING I didn't really put my best effort in but I was brilliant right? Yeah.... it was not my best effort. Yeah.... Chin up. Do the work.

Profs usually write tons if comments only on the papers of students who will sit down and do the work. Otherwise, it's wasted energy. Profs know who will strive to be better and they push. You're in a better place, so I can say this now: comments all over your paper, however rough, are a compliment. Somebody spent a lot of time coaching you. No comments? Little effort by prof.Rise up my friend....somebody has an eye on you!!! I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

Crooked Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Actually felt like my workout today was approaching previous strength levels. Not there but getting there! I get asked pretty much every time I am in a weight room whether I'm training for something. I wonder how often men lifting weights get asked the same question. I would venture to say not that often.
