Surprised myself and cut grass after tort-walking.

Surprised myself and cut grass after tort-walking.  They weren't really running me all over the yard today so I guess I felt I needed more exercise.  I am just thankful these days that I feel good enough to do it!  😃

Time for a haircut and a shower!

Haha.

Haha. Tort Baby thought I was gonna try to take his dandelion. Silly boy. ❤


I am getting up and moving around for a few minutes.

I am getting up and moving around for a few minutes.  I've been busting it on Trig and Biology ALL DAY.

I feel ok about both tests, but I DEFINITELY need to go over Trig problems another time or two.  We have LITERALLY 15 formulas that we will be using on this test; thankfully the teacher is going to hand out a page with them all printed on there, but we have to know how and when to use them.  I really appreciate that we don't have to try to remember them all on top of everything else, but it's still a pretty daunting test.  I really think the worst for me will be proving the Trig identities, but I did actually manage to do a few of them earlier so yay for progress!

Now it's break time!  Maybe I'll do something easy like walk the torts.  😂😂😂  It would be nice to get some fresh air.  🙂

I worked crazy hard on Trig today, HOLY COW.

I worked crazy hard on Trig today, HOLY COW.  But I had a few "Aha!" moments so it totally paid off.  I'm gonna try to go through the problems a few more times tomorrow and Monday before class and maybe I'll be ok.  I just have to practice and pay special attention to verifying Trig identities.  It looks like a fun puzzle to figure out, but they can be really tough and I'm not very great at them.  😕

I have honestly put hours of work into both Biology and Trig this past week.  I am not even done yet.  I'm really hoping to pull my grades up.  Unless I majorly mess up I should have no lower than a B in either class, but my Trig average at the moment is an 89 so that A is so close I can almost taste it and it's taunting me.  😳  I REALLY want an A in all of my maths.

In any case I think this hell of a semester will be ok - one way or the other.  That 4 week period from mid-February to around mid-March when things wouldn't stop going wrong really threw me off and messed me up, but I've hung in there and kept on keeping on - even when I didn't have 100% to give to anything.  Just gotta keep my nose in the books for a couple of more weeks and then I'll get to have a few weeks of summer before classes start again.  I am SO READY!  😃

It's ONLY (eye roll) 2 a.m....

It's ONLY (eye roll) 2 a.m. and I just finished answering all the questions and dropping photos from the actual labs we did in class into my Biology Lab Exam study guide.  Feeling pretty good about that upcoming test.  I have all the info I need on 9 convenient-to-look-at pages.  I've been working on that most of the week - not Monday because I had a late class, but just about every other day and now it's done.  And it counts as studying to me because I was doing research and recalling how all of the things worked.  Woohoo!

Now to get on top of my Trig this weekend.  If I can manage that I'll be in good shape for both of those tests on Monday!  Unfortunately, Trig got pretty intense so that's gonna take some doing.  But I feel optimistic at the moment.  🙂

Now to go and rest my brain.  You all have a good weekend.  If I'm smart I won't be hanging around on here too much.  ❤

Got in trouble yesterday...

Got in trouble yesterday with Shadow for wagging my tail.  He came outside after I got off work... I guess I was taking too long to get in the house, but I was talking to the dogs across the fence. You know how when they're happy they sometimes wag their whole lower half?  Well, sometimes I respond in kind. 😂  Shadow got all huffy and was like, "Come in the house before someone sees you!"  As if I care.  So glad I'm not a teenager anymore.  I can wag my tail whenever I want to with no shame!  😃

Trig class is basically over.

Trig class is basically over.  We learned our last bit of  material tonight.  We have a test on the last couple of chapters on Monday and then we are reviewing for the final.  On one hand I'm relieved that once I get this down I should be ok, but the test on Monday only has 10 questions so I feel nervous about that.

Anyway.  I survived driving home tired in the rain.  I'm taking my wet clothes off and getting into my bed.  Gonna let the wind and the rain put me to sleep.  I'll take midnight over 4 am with no complaints!

'Night, all.  ❤
