Yes, I have not updated in months. I suck. I know.

But I need to vent some stress. Not anger, nothing so explosive, rather the creeping choking poisonous gas of... finals week.

One of my strategies for fighting off the stress is calculating the minimum final exam grade I need to acheive an A in each class. Some of these surprised me, but they are as ( Read more... )

A test a week for four weeks.

I thought I was almost out of the water... I took the Chem test two weeks ago, the Anthropology test one week ago, and I'm studying to take the Biology test in two days... then I find out that we have ANOTHER chemistry test next week. I should have been keeping track, but I just didn't expect it so soon. It feels like ( Read more... )

I had a breakdown yesterday about Christmas. I've been working at Hickory Farms, I brought home a Christmas tree, decorated it myself, and got stuff to make stockings for everyone and stuff them, but I realized, it's all pointless. Christmas is family being together, and that's not going to happen this year, so there is no Christmas. My mother got ( Read more... )

FREEDOM!!!!!

Of a sort at least.

I took my last final at 1:10 today. Biology. Calculus was 8 this morning, Chemistry 1:10 yesterday. This is probably a very bad sign, but I actually feel pretty good about them all. I got my biology lab manual back, a piece of paper inside proclaiming my 99.27% for the lab section, which makes me happy. That any my ( Read more... )

It's only a couple minutes read, so I suggest you read through it, especially the stuff in bold, when you get the chance.

I tried going through and including a couple of good excerpts, but I wanted to ( Read more... )

I really don't know how I feel about this.  We're reading the novel in my Calculus class, and this morning the professor comes in and says they're making a movie of it. Some people jeer, whine, or are confused. I sit there thinking, "yeah, right. What is he trying to get at here? Where is this going?" But sure enough, he ( Read more... )

I don't remember whether I've mentioned this here or not, but Lorin joined the Volunteer Fire Department a month or two ago. He hasn't had formal training but he's been going on all the 911 calls with his dad (who is an EMT). He's probably been on over a dozen, maybe two, different calls so far. Of those, a grand total of one did not involve ( Read more... )
