Ambulophobia

Image
Ambulophobia - Fear of Walking --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORD FACTS: Ambulophobia is derived from the Latin word ambulō, ambulāre, ambulāvī, ambulatus/a/um , which means to walk. (Sorry that I put in all of the basic forms. I take Latin as a World Language and I know that one of the top of my head...) It is also derived from the Greek god of fear, Phobos. (Obviously.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCIENCE: Ambulophobia typically doesn't manifest in early life, rather the older a person gets, the more likely they are to develop it and its symptoms. Sufferers typically will feel unsafe while walking and sometimes while standing up and will usually use a walking cane and sometimes confine themselves to a wheelchair.

Everyone! The time is at hand! I have a schedule in place that I will hopefully be sticking to. I have a lovely setup in Surf City at the library. The only wrinkle is that I will have to get up in time to arrive at 9 in the morning. I'll show you the relevant bits of my schedule. My Schedule As is Relevant to My Blog Note that I forgot to Include the Extra Research Section on my Saturday Schedule. Unfortunately, I spent all of today's time making this post and dealing with computer troubles trying to get a spreadsheet as an image. Please don't explain it to me in the comments, as I now understand and am embarrassed at how simple it was. Tomorrow I will be posting Ambulophobia. Don't forget to check out the rest of my blog! Also be sure to share with your friends and family!

I Apologize That I Am What I Am

To be honest, when I realized that I hadn’t made the post that I had promised, I had started up think of all of the ways that I could make an excuse, think of everything that I had to do and exaggerate it and pretend as though there was no free time. Then I realized something: Its a little boy who cried wolf situation. When I keep exaggerating and saying that things came up, when it actually is that bad, people will call it to be a bluff. So **** it. I am a procrastinator. I have been procrastinating my posts for a while now, because I have been intimidated to get back into the flow of research and posting. Those who have seen my activity on the Cardsmith Forums can attest to that. (The fact that I have had time on my hands.)  I WILL... however, post when I am done my finals as I need to study now and then take them as of Monday. At that moment there will begin the tedious process of the “recalibration” of my routine. I will sta...

Soon...

Soon I will post my next research post. On either Saturday or Sunday! If I get to monday with no post! Bombard me with emails pressuring me to get it moving!
