Just threw Shadow out...

Just threw Shadow out at Saks High School. He has to get warmed up - he's performing at the Legend's Ball again this year! 😃 I hope someone gets some video of him this time!

This week has wiped me out.

This week has wiped me out. I took my Methotrexate a little earlier and CRASHED completely. I'm so done that I'm in my bed already. Goodnight!

A lady driving a pale blue Jaguar just paid for my breakfast at the drive through at McDonald's. That was nice! 

Guess it's my turn to pay it forward! 🙂

Freaking out a little less today. Woo!

Freaking out a little less today. Woo!

Dr. Lee told us today that the first Biology test was the hardest and that it would get better as we went.  I am choosing (for my sanity) to believe her.  🙂

Started copying my Biology notes earlier because when I write something - it helps.  Also, being able to take the time to understand what I'm writing is pretty good, too.  Took a break for a shower and to check out the Internet.  Now I'm heading back to it.  Later, friends!

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!  ❤
