I made my first B since starting back to college...

I made my first B since starting back to college Spring of last year.  It was in Biology.  I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be.  Honestly, I just feel relief.  Relief that this semester is almost over!  From hard classes to real life going wrong - I'm just ready to put this all behind me and relax for a bit before starting back fresh in the summer.

Trig final tonight.  I'm off to study!  Wish me luck!

Exam in the morning so I need to be resting.

Exam in the morning so I need to be resting.  However, I have a very untimely case of the hiccups and of course - my nerves are being nervous.  Woo!

Look at little Anansi!

Look at little Anansi! She's made a web! It's actually pretty big - she even webbed inside her skull!

I think stress is making me feel like a pile of turds today. 🙁

I've mostly been feeling pretty good lately - well enough to be doing squats and push-ups for the last few weeks, even.  I think Methotrexate is finally totally gone from my system because I haven't had this much energy since PsA kicked me down at the end of 2014.  I can't tell you why I feel mostly fine because anytime I was un-medicated last year was hell.  But I'm thankful for it and making the most of it as often as I can.

Today, though, I woke up with a terrible headache and haven't fully been able to shake it.  I am pretty sure it's from nerves about finals on Monday and Tuesday.  I've been compiling notes and going over everything and I mostly feel ok about stuff.  But I dreamed about tests and failing and all that so I know what's lurking in the back of my mind.  Yay, self-doubt.  😕

Anyway.  Logically, I decided that even if I make some B's this semester it won't be the end of the world.  It will hurt my pride because I wanted all A's and I could have done better if I hadn't had a month of hell on earth happen, but real life did happen and so I did the best I could.  My GPA won't be hurt badly enough for me to make a big deal about it, BUT DANG.  It will be hard to let go of a year-long streak of A's.  🙁

Oh well.  One way or the other, I'm excited for the end of this semester.  I'm gonna do my best on Monday and Tuesday and then I'm going to RELAX SO HARD I don't even know what.  Maybe I'll cut loose and have a Dr. Pepper!  😂😂😂

❤, friends.  I hope y'all are getting to relax and have fun.  🙂  I'll be doing the same next weekend!

So... when I'm supposed to be sleeping but can't...

So... when I'm supposed to be sleeping but can't I sometimes go on YouTube and watch nail art videos.  I bet that's a shocker to you all.  😂

Well, I've never tried acrylics (wearing them OR doing them).  But I've seen some video tutorials and it looks REALLY fun.  I feel like I want to try my hand at doing them.  I have no time or money for that right now, unfortunately, but maybe I can go to school for that after I finish the school stuff I already started.

I don't think I'd have the patience to do that as a career, but I could definitely see me enjoying doing it for fun or for some side cash.  I don't want to do stuff like plain French tips, though.  I want to do the crazy stilettos and the aquarium nails and stuff like that.  OBVIOUSLY.  😛

I've been trying for several days to get a photograph of these to put up.

I've been trying for several days to get a photograph of these to put up.  This is not the original manicure - I had more stones and one more finger full of hearts, but because I took so long to get pics a few fingers were starting to look crappy.  I decided to take them off and accent them in other ways since I don't have time to make more decals at the moment.  It's really ok with me - I'm digging these.  I usualLy have have pretty predictable "accent finger" patterns, but this time I think it's harder to tell what's an accent or not.  Maybe they all are!  Woohoo!  LOL

Now I'm off to study.  Probably can't do nails again until after finals on Tuesday, but then I'm gonna go nuts!  THE END OF THE SEMESTER IS IN SIGHT!  😃
