I feel really excited about my life today.  🙂

I met with my adviser and asked her an ass-ton of questions.  She believes that I will be ready to graduate GSCC in the Spring of 2017, so that's awesome.  I will have a General Studies degree with a concentration in Computer Science.  Woohoo!  😃  Then it's on to JSU!

Registration for classes isn't open yet, but I am eligible for Priority Registration this time, so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get the classes we planned out.  Even without being eligible for Priority Registration in the past I've always gotten what I need.  Probably because I'm a freak and I get up as soon as registration opens and add my classes like I'm opening presents on Christmas morning.  LOL

So... I'll be taking Trig at the Gadsden Campus.  That's a hike.  One the bright side and also the dark side, the class starts at 7.  Wait, let me clarify - 7 PM.  That's ok with me because my brain will be awake and ready for that, but it's a LONG class - ending at 9:45.  Thankfully, it only meets one day a week.  I will also be taking biology and another history.

So you would think that would be enough excitement for one day, but it wasn't.  I was concerned about having money for summer classes next year since my Pell Grant will be used for Spring and Fall.  Thankfully, Student Support Services has my back.  They have a scholarship that I will be eligible for, and it sounded like it was a pretty sure thing that they would help me.  So that is awesome.  😃

But, that's not even the end of my school day excitement.  I had seen a job posting for math tutoring a while back and briefly considered trying it, but chickened out.  I didn't mention it, but my adviser did and asked me how I felt about it.  I told her that I wasn't sure if I would be good at it, but that I'd considered it.  Well, she took me to meet the tutoring coordinator.  We talked for a while and she wants me to come fill out the paperwork after I get my spring schedule secured.

Yes, I already have a job, but we slow down during the spring and summer and usually only work 4 days a week.  If I tutored one day a week that would help make ends meet, and (even though I'm not really a people-person), I do like to help others.  I think I'd just be tutoring the other Student Support Services students, but I'm totally ok with helping SSS out after all they've done for me.

All in all I'm feeling pretty excited about school and life in general.    This morning was unexpectedly awesome and I'm so glad it was.  I feel like it renewed my energy supply for a while.  😃  Yay!

I had an Algebra test this morning.

I had an Algebra test this morning.  I made a 98!  I'm excited!  😃😃😃

I wasn't on here much yesterday, but that's because I was studying and also doing very important work around the house.  Since Pomona passed away I decided to move Nom into Pomona's large and empty old house.  Then I moved the turtle into Nom's old place.  Everyone got an upgrade.

I did that purposefully so that all of my good habitats would be occupied.  Really, the last thing I need is to take in more animals right now, so I figured that would be a good deterrent.  Maybe not, but it's worth a shot.

And for anyone who was worried about Bruce, he's cool.  His breathing is fine, his nostrils are clear and cute as ever, and he's had no more scary, giant, noisy snake farts.  I need to get some new photos of him soon.  I swear, he's so big and beautiful!  ❤

Oh my gosh. Bruce just nearly gave me a heart attack!

Oh my gosh.  Bruce just nearly gave me a heart attack!

So I'm just here at my desk going over my test review, and he starts making these gurgling sounds.  He's opening his mouth and kind of pushing backwards with his upper body and I have NO CLUE what is happening.  I am thinking "Is he barfing?  Is he sick?  Is that a snake cough?"  Like, a billion thoughts go through my head, and I have NO IDEA what to do for him.

Then I heard the nastiest, wettest, louder than I would have ever expected fart sound come from him.  I look around at his back end, and he has pooped.  Now he's just chillin'.

Emily, Jennifer, Laurel, Janet, Chris - is that normal / ok?

Shaun.  Ya boy is stinking up my room over here.  o_O

*****

I mean, do they open their mouths and look all happy when they shit? Because DAMN. If I hadn't been so scared at the moment he would have looked straight JOYOUS. LOL

I despise this time-change crap.

I despise this time-change crap. I wish we could just leave it like it is.

As if this day wasn't crappy enough AS IS...

As if this day wasn't crappy enough AS IS I have PMS.  As a person who is extremely empathetic and has so many feelings about things that she just avoids most humans - PMS days can be REALLY hard.

Some of you may already know this, but I have always been a cry-er.  I cry pretty much every single day at SOMETHING.  Posts on Facebook, commercials on TV, just having a feeling of my own, or noticing someone else having feelings... I don't know.  But it takes almost nothing.

So... someone ate the yogurt that I bought for myself because I wanted to try it and I absolutely lost it.  I cried SO HARD over that stupid yogurt.

Like, I'm cool now.  But in that moment I was SO FAR FROM COOL.  I know I looked just like a baby who'd had some delicious candy snatched from him.  I mean... my feelings were SO HURT.

It's been a hard and emotionally charged day, anyway, but I know PMS crying when I feel it.  I had to call my mom and tell on the boys for eating my yogurt.  LOL  Poor mom.  She's been dealing with me bawling over nothing for most of my life.  She's just about the only person that can talk me back into sanity, though Shaun made a mighty effort by going to Wal-Mart and buying not only 3 yogurts but some dark chocolate with caramel cookies.  I am so thankful for the weirdys in my life who love me enough to put up with me.  I know that I am 100% ridiculous sometimes, and I'm sorry.

I have wound down and am heading to bed soon.  It's about time to put an end to this day.  Goodnight, friends.  ❤

This has been a shit day from beginning to end. 🙁

This has been a shit day from beginning to end.  🙁

I woke up late.  My phone was dead... meaning I got no alarms to wake up, so I slept until about halfway through the history class I was supposed to be attending.  Since I'm one of those weird people who actually like learning shit I was pretty bummed about missing it.  Mr. Hamilton said he was gonna show us some photos of cliff-dwelling Native Americans and that sounded really cool.  And I freaking missed it.  🙁

So I got up and started trying to make my usual rounds, but I had a pounding headache and felt nauseated.  I've felt slightly sinus-y the past few days.  I really hope I'm not trying to get full-blown sick.  Anyway, I was trying to do things and get ready for work, but was moving like a slug getting anything done.

Then I found my beautiful, spunky Pomona dead... and I just lost all motivation for a while.  🙁

Finally dragged my ass to work, WAYYY late, but I got there.  My head had faded to a dull ache by that point, which was better, but not great.  And I spent the rest of the day trying to work despite that feeling.  Stayed kind of late to wrap up some stuff, and now I'm home.

I really wanted to go over the Algebra test review, but I don't think I feel good enough to bother.  Blegh.

I think I'm headed to the couch.  It's a "sit on the couch with some blankets" kind of night.  Maybe there will be something on Netflix or Hulu that me and Shadow can chill out and watch.  Later, peeps.  So glad it's almost the weekend.

Lost my girl sometime overnight.

Lost my girl sometime overnight.  She'd started looking puny.  I was hoping to take her to Riverview this weekend, but she didn't make it.  She was older, so it's entirely possible it was just her time.  Still, I'm super sad today.  But we had a lot of fun.  I will especially miss our games of "Hide and Sleep."  ❤❤❤

Rest in Peace, my feisty girl.  ❤
