Maybe if I sleep enough I won't cry in my car after class.

I guess I have to get ready for bed because I have Biology tomorrow and my brain needs to be FULLY PRESENT for that.  Maybe if I sleep enough I won't cry in my car after class.  😂😂😂  Gonna make sure to have some Excedrin or some Ibuprofen at the very least ON DECK.  Y'all might think I'm kidding, but I am not.  😳

On the bright side I got through 1 1/2 sections of Trig this evening - not to mention that I came up with a reliable way to remember that sheet I posted so I'm feeling pretty accomplished and MUCH BETTER about all that.  Yay!  😃

I think I'm gonna have to split my evenings between Biology / Trig and Biology / History.  I should have worked on Biology today, but I got too excited about the Trig so I didn't.  It's not like I have a ton of time after work to do homework, anyway.  🙁  I was thinking about going to trivia tomorrow, but I guess we all know that the responsible thing would be for me to not do that so I probably won't.  I guess that's ok.  There is always Spring Break.  😂😭

'Night, Internet!  🙂

Look what I can do from my brain with the help of Some Old Hippie. 😃

Sweet relief. I was afraid I'd have a much harder time! 

On Biology I'm stuck in until I complete at least 60% of the course or I will owe money. I'm gonna do my best and see how it goes. My adviser said that she had to talk 3 other students down about that class this week. She also said that it gets easier. So I guess I'll find out!

I had an eventful evening and not in the best way...

I had an eventful evening and not in the best way.

I was low on gas and was a little early getting into Gadsden so I stopped at a gas station near the college.  It looked a little shady - people hanging around the outside, not as well-lit as I would have liked, etc, but I stopped anyway.  Turns out they don't even sell gas.  When I was on my way out of the gas station this one guy tried to get my number which I wasn't into.  He and a friend were doing something with some white powdery stuff in a baggie and I was just like, "I'm gonna be late!" and got the hell out of there.  I don't know what it was, but I imagine it wasn't headache powder.  Maybe my virgin eyes just saw some drugs IRL.  😳  I may never know.

Anyway.  Made it to school with very little gas.  Felt kind of shaken up by that, but got pretty into Trig once class started.  We went through THREE chapters... since this class only meets once a week I guess we have to cram the work in.  I felt better about it this time than I did before.  It's all starting to make sense - super yay!  But I have a lot of stuff to commit to memory.  I'm exhausted tonight so I'm going to start working on that tomorrow.

So time to leave school.  That was ok.  I still use GPS because it's dark and I don't know the neighborhood up around there.  Well... I don't have THE BEST night vision.  I was on some kind of bypass going the wrong way for a brief minute before I figured out  what the hell I was doing.  Had there been more traffic I would have used my context clues and gotten it right, most probably.  But it was dead out there so I got in the median and waited for a car to go by so I could make sure I didn't accidentally kill myself.

Long story short:  I made it home and cleaned some.  I ate a brownie with ice cream for dinner because I survived this damn day and that is worthy of a celebration.  😂  Seriously, I can't even tell you all how excited I am to be AT HOME.  My face is twitching and I'm not quite wound down yet, but I'm heading to bed anyway so I can be awake and alert for history in the morning.

I hope this Monday was nicer to y'all than it was to me!  ❤

On a break in Trig...

On a break in Trig. Feeling better about it than I did before. THANK GOODNESS! 😃

Heading to Trig momentarily. But so far, this day has SUCKED.

Heading to Trig momentarily.  But so far, this day has SUCKED.

I have enjoyed most of my classes since starting school last year and I gotta say that Biology is interesting, but I almost LOST IT in class today.  First of all, it's like a 3 hour class.  Second, I have a tough teacher.  And I 100% understand that I'm in college and shouldn't expect easy tests and have someone hold my hand, but there was so much information coming at me today that my head LEGIT felt swimmy and I just zoned out.  I couldn't do it anymore.  I had to sit in my car and cry before work today.

Look.  The teacher doesn't do study guides or multiple choice.  We have fill-ins with no word banks and essay questions on the test.  It would be one thing entirely if I knew EXACTLY what to study, but I have like 12 pages of notes SO FAR and a test coming on Monday.  I DO NOT feel prepared or like I possibly even could be.

Trig is hard so far, too.  Tonight is my 2nd class so maybe it will get better.  History doesn't come easily - I have to study it A LOT to make it stick.  So I feel like with Biology this is too much at the moment.  I'm talking to my adviser tomorrow to see what my options are.  I think I would be a nutcase if I tried to take all 3 of these classes together right now. There are easier Biology teachers out there and it's not like I'm going into nursing so at the moment even though I feel like a failure for thinking about dropping a class and looking for an easier route I kind of also feel more like it's not worth it to stress myself out like this.  Like, my scalp is numb and my hair hurts.  I am not in a good place.  I hate it when I feel this way.  🙁

Wish me luck tonight.  We have a quiz already.  Woo!  😕

I'm getting less sleep than I want tonight...

I'm getting less sleep than I want tonight, but I've been totally lazy all day. I didn't even do homework because when I looked at it I realized that we weren't there yet. I also didn't do my nails. 

What I did do was hang with my guys and ani-pals on the couch most of the day... and eat. I washed a few loads of laundry, but that's about all I can say for myself. 

Monday is my long day so I'm off to get some sleep. I'm SO not ready for the weekend to be over. 😕

I've been mostly useless today.

I've been mostly useless today.  For no good reason, which makes it even worse.  😂

I got the animals fed.  I did my taxes.  I went to Wal-Mart and bought Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix.  I swear I thought that frozen brownies were a thing, (like frozen cookies definitely are), but I could not find any.  I loaded the dishwasher, did ONE sad little load of laundry, made tea, brownies, and mozzarella sticks, and finished one section of Trig homework.

... That sounds like a lot more than it felt like.  Weird.  😵

I'm about to clean my litter boxes and call it a night.  I still need to finish another section of Trig homework tomorrow and study other stuff if I can, but I think I'll have time.

I kind of desperately want to fight sleep like an angry toddler.  It would be super fun to hang out and do my nails.  But I need to not screw my schedule totally up so I'm trying to be good.  Maybe if I get everything else done that I want to I can reward myself with nails tomorrow.  I was super pumped to find that the last ones I did hung in there until Friday.  😃

Goodnight, Internet land!
