Glad it's the weekend.

Glad it's the weekend. I went ahead over the last couple of days and completed the remainder of the assignments in my online Ethics class. Now I just have to worry about Biology for a couple more weeks, then I'm free until Fall semester starts. Gotta say it's really interesting, but those Biology classes have been brutal and I will be glad to have them behind me.

I think my biggest worry for my last 3 semesters at GSCC will be the Calculus classes. I can't even remember if I posted this before, but as long as the classes get enough students I'll be taking Cal I in the Fall, Cal II in the Spring, and Cal III next Summer, then it's off to JSU, FINALLY. It's taking a little longer than I wanted, but my adviser thought it would be best for my GPA if I take fewer classes. I'm really not up for being overloaded, so that works for me.

Anyway. Random thoughts for the night I guess because I'm almost done with another semester. I wonder if it's coincidental that the 2 years I've been in college have been the worst of my life. Last year, my health was horrible and I felt bad most of the time, both physically and mentally, and this year, disastrous, hard, bad, heartbreaking things keep happening. Maybe if I wasn't in school I would have more time and energy to deal with stuff and it would all seem less horrible. Or maybe I would have nothing to distract me and I would dwell on the bad. I have no idea. But at least I'm accomplishing things, I guess.

Anyway. I'm exhausted, so I'm off. Catch you later, Internet. Happy Weekend.

Shadow had to open it for me.

This day. My gosh.

This day. My gosh.

I didn't even make it to work until 5, and I worked for about 2 hours. I felt like crap, woke up late, got my period early, and my lizard had diarrhea.

I tried to find a doctor to see because clearly something is going wrong inside me, was on hold with Medicaid for about 30 minutes, and then the woman who spoke to me was a total bitch and hell-bent on misunderstanding me, going so far as to speak about my pregnancy (I'm not pregnant and never said that word once). I just wanted to know what doctors accept Medicaid so that I can get a yearly vagina checkup. She FINALLY gave me the names and numbers of 3 and said that she would mail a list of the rest. 

I went to Munford for the evening after work because the guys had dinner plans and I just wasn't that people-y; however, I did not want to be alone. It was nice hanging with the fam for a bit.

Haven't been home long. The house smells a lot better, so I guess it's about dried out - thank goodness. Now the dehumidifier is in the garage because it got flooded, too. I keep looking for Scooter and that's really damn sad.

Now what? I'm sitting here feeling grumpy and tired and I don't know what will make me feel better. I don't want to do anything or be around anyone. It's no good. Maybe I'll shower soon and try to relax.

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.
