Y'all, my life feels weird.

Y'all, my life feels weird.  Some good, some less good, but there has been a lot going on.

We've got Kira pretty much settled in now, so that is fantastic.  I was pretty stressed out through the transition, but I think most of that is done now.  She is really great and a joy to have around.  🙂  I'm also really excited because she gets to be the mascot at the homecoming game next week.  I think it's basically a try-out, so it's possible that she will be the mascot the rest of the year.  Paws crossed!  😃

School... man, I know I've been distracted, ok, but I'm not having the best time.  JSU is beautiful and I do love all of my instructors, but I've got two that jump around through tough material, and with their accents and the jumping around and with this not being easy stuff I don't feel so great about two of my classes.  Y'all, I haven't even made a bad grade yet (worst is a 7/10 on a quiz; the rest of my assignments have been A's), but I know deep down that I am not off to a great start.  I have a couple of exams coming up and I feel really stressed about it.  🙁

On the bright side:  Things are calming down.  Shaun took the kids out today, so I've been alone and studying for quite a while.  I think I'm gonna take a break and get a shower before everyone gets back.  If I'm smart and doing the right things I'll study some more this evening and also spend a good part of tomorrow on it, as well.  I know I will feel tons better if I can just get to a good place on things.

I hate to admit that even though I'd planned to just do school instead of work so that I could concentrate on school I've felt more like a housewife than anything for the last two weeks.  All of the moving stuff and re-arranging and cleaning out and running errands... it has legit been wearing me out.  Thankfully, I've not missed a class (and I don't plan to), but that is more than I can say for a good many of my classmates.  Which, I'm not even going to get started on that, but seriously - classes have been in for less than a month...  👀

Anyway.  I'm off.  I have plenty to do.  I hope you all are doing well.  I have really missed having time to properly socialize on the Internet, but, well, things have been happening IRL, so that is where I've been.  ❤❤❤
