Last night as I was getting ready for bed...

Last night as I was getting ready for bed I walked into the corner of one of my end tables with my thigh.  It hurt SO BAD.  It is now swollen and I have a big blue / black bruise.  It hurts to sleep on that side, but I also have a bruise on the arm on the opposite side, so just... dang, man.

I got up 3 different times this morning to go Black Friday shopping - ON THE INTERNET!  FOR NAIL POLISH!  LOL  I probably spent more than I should have, but some of them were gifts and honestly I work so dang hard that I just wanted to treat myself.  I scored some stuff that I'm super excited about.  I can't wait until it gets here!

I feel like I'm behind on my whole life right now.  Met up with some guys from Calculus this morning and one guy checked my work - looked correct to him, too.  I guess the downside to having a test that I can bring home is that I can obsess over it until I am crazy.  😕

Anyway, I am off to work on more Calculus.  I have a headache and I'm tired.  REALLY not feeling 100% right now, but I feel like I haven't accomplished nearly enough this week.  I'm starting to freak out and I know the added pressure and stress isn't going to make me feel any better.  The best thing I can do is work on it.  Blegh.

I hope you all are doing well.  Have a great night if I don't pop back in before morning.  ❤

It was a pretty good day.

It was a pretty good day.  Felt like Thanksgiving rather than a birthday, but that's ok.  That is just par for the course with a late November birthday.  I'm always up for food that isn't straight from the microwave (because that's how I roll), so home-cooking makes me happy!  Seeing all the family was great.  I don't have enough free time for now to be as connected as I'd like, unfortunately.

Other than that I'm glad to be home. I feel like we were running all day.  I'm exhausted, but I'm working on my Calculus take-home test until my brain craps out.  LOL

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!  ❤

Guess which girl is feeling better about Calculus.

Guess which girl is feeling better about Calculus. THIS ONE. 😃

Look at my graph. According to this, my points of inflection are where they should be. WOOHOO!

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.  ❤
