Today has been a mixed bag, but...

Today has been a mixed bag, but at least I feel like I can say that things might be looking up.

I was SUPER SICK last night.  Nausea, headache, fever, etc.  Physically I still do not feel good at all, but it's not as bad as yesterday, thank goodness.

On the school front... I'm so embarrassed to admit this, but I made a 3 on that Linear Algebra test.  A literal THREE.  I just could not make my brain go on Wednesday, so that is what happened.  🙁  On the bright side several people have told me that they had to re-take linear algebra, so it's not just me.  But I am going to email my professor this weekend and let her know what all is going on.  Since I still don't know if I'll be able to drop the class I might as well do as much as I can while I'm in there.

On the dropping that class front... I checked in with the scholarship guy and he said it would be 10 days - 2 weeks before he could tell me anything.  I don't want to just keep failing it that hard only to find out that I can't drop it, so I'm gonna put in the effort on it.

Speaking of effort - DSS really came through for me.  They have found me tutors for both Linear Algebra and Probability and Statistics.  So I will be meeting with tutors every Monday so that I can get on track.  I'm pretty excited about that.  I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but it would be great if I didn't have to drop Linear.  We'll see, though.

Other than that I met with my adviser today and he said that he really thought I'd be able to drop Linear Algebra if it came to that.  He said that my record was strong and he's sure that JSU will want to keep me.  He said it helped that I have identified my issues and that I'm taking steps to get back on track.  So that was nice.

I also found out that after I finish my required maths (Linear Algebra and the Stats class) that I am literally one math class away from a math minor.  So even though I don't have to declare a minor I'm going to.  There is absolutely no reason not to at this point.

The last thing was that we planned my schedule for spring.  That's cool and all, but I found out that even if I go full time and take two classes each summer I won't be finished until summer of 2019.  🙁  I was thinking I'd have summers off and finish in May of 2019, so that is kind of a bummer.  But on the bright side of all THAT he did say that Linear Algebra looked like one of my harder classes, so if that's the case I will probably survive the next two years.  LOL

So yeah.  There is a lot going on.  I still don't feel 100% physically or mentally, but having plans in place is uplifting, at least.  I feel pretty supported by the efforts of DSS and hopefully my Celexa will kick in in time for me to have motivation and energy and a working brain before I majorly mess up anything else.  For now I'm off to muddle through some DSC homework that is due tonight.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  I plan to rest and study if I can.  While I do feel the pressure to try to get back on top of things ASAP I know that creating more stress for myself right now is a bad idea, so I'm going to try to be super nice to me.  Hopefully, I can.  That is not one of my strong points, unfortunately.  😕
