Dang.

Dang. Looks like our little black gerbil, Melon, has passed away. 🙁 She was a funny little fat thing. It must have been old age because she was fine yesterday. Rest in peace, sweet girl.

I feel all wrong.

I feel all wrong.  I have been horribly exhausted for days.  And I've been so mean all week.  Just grumpy as hell.  Like, I love Shaun to pieces, but I can barely stand to be in the same room with him and it's nothing he's doing.  I've even been telling my dogs "MOVE!" rather than "Excuse me."  Not cool.  😕

I left work today to check on Shaun because I couldn't get in touch with him all morning.  I was just freaking right out.  I got to his house and his phone was off and he'd just woken up.  He was totally fine and I was relieved.  But not relieved enough to hug him without a fight.  I mean - I have been STRAIGHT RIDICULOUS and I know it, but it's not like I can help how I'm feeling.  🙁

At first I thought it was PMS, but my period was supposed to start Monday and it still hasn't.  (Before anyone starts screaming "Pregnant!" let me just say "ParaGard.")  Can PMS build up?  LOL  I think I might have some weird crazy hormone shit going on.  I don't know why, though, or what else it could be.  

I know that stress can affect things like that, but I think I've been at a normal (for me) level of stress the last few weeks.

I don't know.  I'm just glad it's Friday.  I'm gonna go curl up on the couch with some Algebra.  I'll either cuddle my book until I fall asleep or get some homework done.  I suppose I'll be happy with the end result of either.  LOL

Happy Weekend, friends!  ❤

Could not have said it better.

Shaun, buy me this for Midna!

Shaun, buy me this for Midna!  Then I won't have to color her butt with a Sharpie.

[DISCLAIMER: I've never colored my cat's butt with a Sharpie, but I've threatened it a thousand times. She's black, her butthole is bright white. It's all you can see when she walks away.]

This accessory turns your cat's butt into a beautiful jewel

I am beyond exhausted today.

I am beyond exhausted today.  Boo.  I don't even know why.

On the bright side I am excited about next semester.  I saw my adviser today and she picked a line-up that I think I can handle.  I'm not eligible for priority registration yet, but after this semester I will be!  😃  So I can't lock down my classes until Monday, but you better believe that is what I'll be doing first thing after class!

I think that every time I go and work out my new schedule I feel as though I've accomplished something.  I get to see what I've checked off my list and what's coming.  I still have a long way to go, but it's proof that I'm moving forward.  😃

The only down-side is that after next semester I've heard my classes will get much harder, so I might be down to part time rather than 3/4 time.  I really REALLY want to finish as quick as I can - it's not like I'm super young as it is, but the goal is to make very high grades to get the JSU scholarship.  SO.  I'll do what I have to do, I guess.

I'll let you know what I'm taking on Monday if I get all the classes I want.  😃

I have to write a paper on problems with drama.

I have to write a paper on problems with drama.  As in plays and stuff.  And I'm just not feeling it.  I haven't been, and I'm getting nowhere.  BOO.

On a happier note:  One of my parakeets is just cracking me up.  Cerulean LOVES the swing that goes in all directions.  That li'l mofo will swing so hard!  He swings ferociously.  He swings like it's his JOB.  LOL  I don't think I've ever had a parakeet that swings so much.  I'm gonna have to try to catch that on video one day.  But not today.  I have work to do.  😕

How do you get a major and a minor in college?

How do you get a major and a minor in college? My major right now (if I'm still pursuing a Computer Science degree) has to be General Studies to get all of the classes I need to transfer to JSU in the Computer Science program. But what if I want to minor in say, Mathematics or something? Is that a thing I can do? And if so, how?

My brain is thirsty, y'all. 😳
