I made a 74 on my Lab Practicum...

I made a 74 on my Lab Practicum and a disappointing 90 on my take-home test, somehow.  I really feel like I should have aced that one.  Oh well.

So, I have an 87 in Biology.  I REALLY want an A.  Thankfully, that is not too far from it.  Maybe I can do it.

I'm awake. That's better.

I'm awake.  That's better.

Two things:

1)  Since I noticed Anansi starting to molt last night and we did not sleep, Shadow and I got to watch her do it.  It took hours and it looked like A LOT of work.  Poor baby spider.  I have some cool pictures and videos, but the videos are long and probably boring, so you might as well hit YouTube for some sped-up versions if you're interested.  It's pretty cool.  I might upload a photo or two later, though.

2)  People have been trying FOREVER to get me into gel polish and I have resisted.  LOL  But, CHROME NAILS are now an achievable thing - legit, shiny, mirror-like chrome nails, and you can achieve that with chrome powders and a UV gel topcoat.  I think having silver or gold nails would be cool, but there are some crazy rainbow shifting colors out there, too.  😳  So, I'm in.  It's not like I have tons of time to do my nails lately, anyway, so I can't really view it as a down-side if they last a long time now.

Another bonus is that I think you can still use regular polish and seal it with a gel topcoat, but I'll have to look into that.  If I could still use all of my beautiful colors and stamping plates, etc, that would be awesome.  I love using my current setup and I don't think that will ever change, but I guess I'm finally ok with branching out.  LOL

So... chrome powders and topcoats are on the way.  I just need a UV lamp.  Any suggestions?  I'm not trying to spend a lot, but I don't want a piece of crap, either.

I made it home. I survived this day. I feel sort of accomplished.

I don't think I did that well on my lab practicum.  I knew SO MUCH STUFF - unfortunately, the teacher didn't seem to think any of that was worth putting on the test.  I guess now I wait and see how bad it is.

I left work early because I was tired and it was quiet.  No sense sitting around looking for things to do when I'm this exhausted.

Would say that I'm glad to be home; however, the house smells AWFUL.  It has not smelled ok since all the water came in last night.  Shadow and I worked on cleaning it up last night, but blegh.  I guess there is more that needs to be done, but I might have to let the dehumidifier work on it for another day.  I'm beyond exhausted.  Maybe I will nap and then see what I feel like I can do.

(Sarcastic) Yay, my life.

Well... it's been a long night... mostly because I haven't been to sleep yet. 🙁

Well... it's been a long night... mostly because I haven't been to sleep yet. 🙁 I've spent the night studying and cleaning up the water in the dog room. I've got the dehumidifier going, but the whole house smells weird. Blegh.

It got so late on me that I was afraid if I went to sleep I wouldn't wake up in time for class. If that happened I would miss my lab practicum and also not be able to turn in my take-home test - and that would be terrible. So... I'm awake and this day is going to be great. 😕

On the bright side if I make it through this day I will crash tonight and hopefully have my schedule back to normal. It has been really messed up since Friday. Maybe utter exhaustion will do the trick.

I think this is why she's not eating.

I think this is why she's not eating. Seems soon, but she was eating like a horse for a while there.

I wish I could just blow raspberries on that cute little tummy! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh yay.

Oh yay.  While I was busy working on my take-home test, my dog room flooded during the downpour.

I sort-of tried having a normal day today.

I sort-of tried having a normal day today.  Missed my early tutoring because I didn't sleep enough, but made it for the later sessions.  I feel like crap and I smell bad and I need and want a shower and I'm hungry and sad.  I just ate too many lemon cookies because it was easy and I don't feel so great about that.

I have a take-home test to complete for Biology.  It's due tomorrow and I'm like, 10 questions out of 100 done.  I also need to study for my Lab Practicum that is also tomorrow, but it's already 6 and I have so much to do.

On the bright side I just got 14 ink pens in the mail from Amazon and some nursing bras.  Nope, not nursing and not pregnant, but my ta-tas have been killing me (to the point of keeping me awake and no, Tylenol and the like doesn't touch it).  This has been going on for months.  🙁  I just need to be able to wear something that doesn't cause immense pain and nursers are the softest ever.

On the ink pens - I have tons of pens because I collect writing utensils.  A waitress recently had a pink one like the ones I ordered, but why buy one when I can have ALL THE COLORS?  EVEN BROWN!!!  I know that seems ridiculous, (and it totally is), but sometimes buying shit feels good.  So.  I did that and I don't care.

Anyway.  I guess I'm off to do something, anything, that I need to do.  I don't know what yet, but definitely probably something.
