Finally, a nail pic! 😃

Finally, a nail pic! 😃

I don't normally take nail pics in full sunshine, but these polishes were far too pretty for anything less. I'm time-crunchy right now, so I will edit this later and add what I used, but for now, just know that I was going for a forest-y, mysterious, magical, woodsy kind of feel. Nothing in particular, although the words on my thumb might be from a book (says Shaun. I don't know.)

Yesterday was pretty good. 🙂

Yesterday was pretty good.  🙂

When I woke up I got a chunk of my Calculus work done.  Can I just say that Sigma Notation is rocking my face off?  It's BEAUTIFUL.

After that I had a tasty lunch with Shaun and his parents.  Then went to work for a while.  After that, helped a friend in math.

I feel really embarrassed to admit that at this point I have been stumped twice by basic algebra.  🙁  Apparently, I am now in the habit of OVER thinking math and making things more complicated than they need to be.  Maybe it's just where my brain is due to Cal, but I hope it doesn't last forever.  I don't want to be an educated person who can't see the simpler solutions that are out there.  😕  I was all geared up to teach my dad some Trig the other day when all he really needed was the Pythagorean Theorem.

ANYWAY after I got home we had Taco Bell and then I watched TV with Shaun FOR HOURS and guess what else...  I FINALLY DID MY FREAKING NAILS!  Yay for me time!  I've been wearing plain polish over the last few weeks because I've been bad... that's a whole 'nother post... but no nail art UNTIL NOW.  I will DEFINITELY  get some photos today because I am psyched.  😃

Well, I guess I'm going to get ready for work.  I've got another busy day ahead!  Happy Wednesday, friends!  ❤

I am finally done with my Psychology project!

I am finally done with my Psychology project!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*does happy dance*

Now I get to spend the rest of the week on my Calculus take-home test, getting ready for the next Calculus test, and getting my notes ready for the test after that.

And maybe I'll even get to rest a day!  😃  (Perhaps on my BIRTHDAY?!  [aka:  Thanksgiving])

I am so dang happy that I've FINALLY completed a thing.  I have been working SO HARD.  RIDICULOUSLY hard.  It has been awful.  LOL

Thank you to everyone who participated in my Psych study.  I know that I probably failed to get back to some of you, but I got wayyy more of a response to that post than I imagined I would.  The people who I sent questions to mostly got them back to me really fast, so I just used the first ones in.  Sorry if anyone feels neglected.  I was so absorbed in getting it done that I lost focus on everything else.  Maybe the rest of the week won't be so hard.  We'll see.  🙂

Hey friends. To anyone I've ignored recently I am sorry.

Hey friends.  To anyone I've ignored recently I am sorry.  If you can take comfort in the fact that you are not the only one, so it is not personal.  I've got a lot on my plate, as usual.  I'm feeling a bit like I'm drowning in school work, even though classes don't meet this week.

I had been planning to use this week off to complete some projects, but I feel like I'm never getting enough done.  The pressure is on.  I've been ignoring messages because I just can't let myself be distracted.

I know that several of you are going through some major things.  I pop in and check on you, even if I don't say much or anything at all.  Just know that you are in my thoughts and you are not alone.  Shaun's mom isn't doing too well, and my dad recently experienced another pet-related trauma, so things are definitely not all roses and sunshine over here, either.

Everyone hang in there.  That is all I got.  We'll be hanging with you.  ❤

Math seriously gives me the feels.

Math seriously gives me the feels.  One reason it's my major.  ❤

Old pencil. New pencil!

Old pencil. New pencil!

The grip on the new one is better, but we'll see if it holds up over the next hour. I have Calculus homework to do!

Y'all. Finals are less than a month away. 😳

Y'all.  Finals are less than a month away.  😳  I can't believe this semester is almost over!

So far I have a 100 in Health, a 96 in Psychology, and a 93 in Calculus. If I can hang on to my A's, that would kick my GPA up from 3.592 to 3.655.  (I went for a semester in 2001, fresh out of high school.  Didn't know how to drop a class, made a D.  It's haunted me ever since.)

Needless to say I would be ECSTATIC to not be touching 3.5 anymore.  I've been trying to rise above that since I started back in 2015.  Anything below a 3.5 isn't eligible for the Presidential Scholarship at JSU.  I've been eligible for a while, but dang.  I don't like cutting it so close.

Anyway.  I'm off to call Tech Support about my printer, then hopefully get through some Calculus this morning.  A 93 is a little lower than I'm comfortable with.  That needs some work! 

Later, friends.  ❤
