I'm committed, aren't I?

So not being a sci-fi fan and all, how do I pronounce "Amidala"?

Hey, Jenn

Are you in grad school?

I graduate in this June with my double bachelors degree in Speech Language Pathology and Linguistics and am beginning my second term as a grad student.

hehe...or someone else is. I just wanna know if someone would really do it.

Ah-me-dah-la.

I am not in grad school.
Still taking undergrad classes that interest me.
I took an Intro to Literature class this past semester completely online and wound up with an A-. Not bad for feeling like I had to cram all the time. It was a half semester class and the teacher thought we needed to do a full-semester's worth of work in the same time.

And you know, I just saw another post by you and was going to ask how your schooling was going. I'm glad you told me!

Have you sung today?

 

[AngelAmidala]

LOL!

Yes I have.

Sang before Sunday School this morning. Then during worship before church. And also a little at a wedding renewal service we had as a way to close out this weekend of the revival.

Happy Birthday cpoming up in a couple weeks!


My question is ... do you ever get time to post just for fun anymore, or do you spend all your CF time in official duties?

Happy Birthday cpoming up in a couple weeks!

Thank you!

My question is ... do you ever get time to post just for fun anymore, or do you spend all your CF time in official duties?

Well, I keep trying. But too some of my CF time is spent while at work (with lots of other people around) so I don't always get a chance to read/post as much as I would like.

I do try to read some areas though to see what's going on and what types of things are being talked about by members. I browse the various Support Forums, MJ forum, and the Information Technology forum on a sort of regular basis.

what does "fillabuster " means?

 

[AngelAmidala]

what does "fillabuster " means?

Well, I looked it up on Mirriam-Webster online, and it said this:

Main Entry: 1fil·i·bus·ter
Pronunciation: 'fi-l&-"b&s-t&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Spanish filibustero, literally, freebooter
1 : an irregular military adventurer; specifically : an American engaged in fomenting insurrections in Latin America in the mid-19th century
2 [2filibuster] a : the use of extreme dilatory tactics in an attempt to delay or prevent action especially in a legislative assembly b : an instance of this practice

But I learned it as a tactic that politicians use in the Senate or House of Representatives where a particular side of an issue keeps talking and talking to prevent a vote. They can do anything they want, like read a book out loud. But they can't sit down. They can yield to someone else, preferably someone on their "side" so that it won't end the filibuster...but otherwise there's no sitting down, no bathroom breaks, etc.

So I guess I get to start one of these too where people can ask me stuff.

I am busy but I really like the idea of this forum so I will try to get here whenever I'm on CF. But if I miss a question, feel free to drop me a PM with a link to the question or quote yourself to re-ask it.

Be nice and have fun!

Thank you Angel and El Gothic Turtlo. What do you consider to be the most important aspect of peace-making leadership?

Thank you Angel and El Gothic Turtlo. What do you consider to be the most important aspect of peace-making leadership?

Best quoted from an episode of Xena, "Act, don't react."

Which means if something comes up...don't just react to something. I will be honest....I sometimes have a bit of a temper. (It's the Irish in me. ) But I learned I make more mistakes when I just speak my immediate thoughts without taking the time to pray and consider alternate ways to handle what made me want to react.

 

[hopperace]

Prayer, what a great response. And happy birthday.

 

[AngelAmidala]

Prayer, what a great response. And happy birthday.

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. I've been a bit bad about checking on my subscriptions.

And you're right....many times prayer is the only response one can do.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Sounds like you're still keeping a busy life. Are you still in school?

 

[AngelAmidala]

Sounds like you're still keeping a busy life. Are you still in school?

Heh...yeah.

And yes, I am still taking classes in school.
This semester I'm taking "Information & Computer Literacy" online. It hasn't been too bad...and even though I work with computers, I have learned a few new things.
Right now I'm trying to decide what to take next semester. One of my favorite professors on campus is teaching an Old English Language and Literature class...which might be fun to audit. But I want to see what else is available.

Would you say Christian Forums is a good place to go for procrastinating on your school work?

 

[AngelAmidala]

Would you say Christian Forums is a good place to go for procrastinating on your school work?

Well.....

Yes in regards to the fact that I have done stuff on CF in my entire time as a member here at CF to procrastinate on schoo work.

But no, because then I wind up getting too caught up in here and never get my work done.

I will say though, it's not so bad now with my new work schedule because I wind up having time once I get home before I do my nightly online things to do schoolwork.

If you could be on a tv game show, what would it be and why?
