School (and life in general) update
Ok, so I'm about 2 months into school now, have completed 5 classes and have thus far gotten an A in every one of them. The first few were fairly simple classes, but the last couple certainly weren't. I managed to pull out an A in Anatomy & Physiology 1A, and that wasn't easy.

School Days

So, in an ongoing quest to actually get a decent nights sleep, I purchased a 3" memory foam mattress topper today. Not a bad price, came with two pillows, we'll see how it works. I wake up a lot, usually gasping for air like I've stopped breathing. (my ex has told me in the past that I stop breathing, but I did a sleep study and it came back that I ( Read more... )Blah
That's kinda how I've felt over the last few days. Not stellar, not horrible, just kinda here. Had several things annoy me (mostly my reaction to things), and been thinking a lot about the future ( Read more... )
