Grammar nightmare!

As I finished up Medical Word Building, I shocked myself with a 100% test score on my first attempt! That was fantastic! However, I now find myself muddling through Grammar and Style Essentials. You see, I feel like I have a decent grasp of sentence formation. Granted, I can sometimes get a bit lazy, but in the necessary situations I can pull it together. And now, I am incredibly bored with trying to relearn the technical bits of sentence structure. My brain is just not interested! I know I need to get it together and make sure I can retain everything here, so my plan is this: I'm just going to work my way through the first part of it (I'm assuming that later on, it will be more MT specific?), not worry if I don't get the best score initially and continuously return to this unit as I work through the rest of unit and keep on it that way. Trudge along, I will...

I haven't worked on any of the program in the past two days, which makes me very sad. Between trying to find a job for J and I both, possibly having to move and the major fund raiser we just held at our house to fund his band's CD there was absolutely no time!

Word Building...

...is going swimmingly. It almost feels like I'm moving through it too fast, like I should be taking more time. However, I'm fairly confident in my understanding and spelling and want to keep moving forward! I am grateful for the flash cards CS included with the materials, they've helped me to feel very confident in my learning AND I get to impress J with all the big words I know when I have him quiz me.

In the meantime, I'm trying to get a feel for what I want in a word list. I started with just a table in MS Word, but I really hate inserting new cells when needed (even with the keystrokes, I'm too impatient) and I hate the search function. So I downloaded Lil Red Notebook, which is fine, but I'd like to have definitions and notes on top of just the word, which LRN doesn't help with. Same with SlimList. I just downloaded PinderSoft's Pegasus CardFile, which is essentially a very simple rolodex situation, which is all I wanted. I'm test-driving it for a while, we'll see how it goes. Worth $20? We'll see. I'm also just a smidgen sad that I didn't upgrade to the Dorland Electronic Dictionary, as the online access is SLOW to retrieve words and definitions (again, impatience) but I think I'll be fine.
