Just met my adviser at JSU.

Just met my adviser at JSU.  I am so excited I could literally THROW UP.  I've never gone to that school by myself and gotten anything done.  I've been a couple of times with Shaun and Shadow and I went on that field trip last semester, but the one and only time before now that I went alone I got in my car and left because I was like "Dis tew much."  😂😂😂😭😭😭

So I have a tentative schedule and I've been cleared to register.  My adviser encouraged me to finish Physics 2 and Cal 3 over the summer which was my plan.

I just checked my GPA calculator on Degree Works and even if I make 2 C's I will still have a 3.5 (just barely).  I think it is high time I simmer down and enjoy my college experience.  I've worked so hard to get where I am - to be in the position to have a little wiggle room if I need it.  I still don't want to make a C in anything, but at this point it's not going to really hurt anything if I do.  So. Maybe stress won't kill me this semester.

I'm off to class now.  Big, exciting day for me.  Y'all have no idea how happy and proud I am!  😃😃😃

Honestly, I could barf from excitement right now.

Honestly, I could barf from excitement right now. For the first time ever I went to JSU by myself and didn't leave from overwhelmed-ness. I have a tentative schedule for my time here. It's really real!!!

It's late, but that's ok...

It's late, but that's ok because I slept late this morning and also took a nap.  I am winding down, though.

I pretty much neglected homework and studying all weekend.  I hit the books so hard during the week that I just really needed a break and I had a little bit of wiggle-room to make it happen.  I do have Cal tests tomorrow and Physics homework due early this week, but I have studied today and I'll have a little bit of time tomorrow, as well, so maybe it'll be ok.

Shadow went to a friend's house for the weekend so I spent some time with Shaun.  I needed it so bad.  I feel like every time I've seen him since last month I've been on the run and it's been in passing.  😕  It was so great to just look at his face and not be in a rush to do other things.

I was mostly not on Facebook today, either, and that has been a relief.  I do have some pages and groups that I admin so I can't duck out entirely, but it's been nice having a quiet phone and the head-space to think and relax, uninterrupted.

Anyway, I'm off to finish my laundry and head to bed.  I have a big morning planned at JSU.  I'm stupidly excited about meeting my adviser.  🙂

Happy Monday, peeps.  It is upon us.  ❤

I rage-napped today.

Well today has been less productive than I wanted it to be; however, I did get something figured out that I was messing up in Calculus.  That last test honestly wasn't very hard - I was just doing stuff wrong because I only THOUGHT I knew what I was doing.  😂

It was a super easy thing that I could not figure out by myself and it filled me with rage - so I rage-napped until I got hungry, then Shaun came over, asked the right questions, and we figured it out.  Hopefully when I re-take test 2 on Monday I will come out with better than a C.

It really shouldn't have taken me ALL DAY to get this, but at least that is something.  I still have the new Cal test to prepare for as well as a TON of Physics homework, but I'll be awake for a while and I have tomorrow, too.

I hope you all had a good day.  Other than being stumped by Calculus mine was really ok.  It has been quite soothing to not have notifications going off on my phone and computer.  I feel like that is going to go a long way towards my sanity this semester.  Phew!

Thank You, Update, and Other News:

Thank You, Update, and Other News:

Thank you to everyone for being supportive.  Y'all are so amazing.

I haven't been awake long.  I usually do my Facebooking in the mornings and evenings so this is my chill time... for now.  I'm about to hit the books, though.  Just having my breakfast and letting my brain get good and awake.

Other News:  I found out who my adviser is at JSU and I'm meeting with him on Monday!  I'm excited and nervous, but I hear that he's nice.  Also - I was accepted as a candidate for graduation by GSCC so after they evaluate my transcript from this semester I should be good to go!  😃

I want to let all of my friends know...

I want to let all of my friends know that my stress level has been THROUGH THE ROOF lately.  My temper has been short, my psoriasis and arthritis are flaring up, and I am generally REALLY not cool to be around.  I'm either eating, sleeping, studying, working, or upset.  Also, my current back situation hasn't helped anything.  Thankfully it is improving - slowly but surely.

I know I've been ignoring people and I apologize for that.  It's probably a huge change from the Blu that never left a message or comment un-read or responded to, but I just can't right now.  So I'm posting this to let everyone know that if I'm not talking to you - it's really not personal so please PLEASE don't take it that way.

I have uninstalled Messenger from my phone.  That used to be the way I kept in touch with my guys, but I've instructed them to use another method.  I know that I could mute the notifications, but it really wasn't enough.  I just don't need to be so easily accessible to other people right now.  So far this is the toughest semester of my life and I can't afford distractions right now.

Everyone feel free to comment and write me all you want, but please don't be shocked or offended if I'm not fast to respond.  It's not you; it's me.  I truly believe that once I get through Physics I'll be through the worst of it.  That may be naïve, but pretty much everyone has confirmed that it was one of the more challenging classes they took.

I look forward to having a life again soon, but it probably won't happen until May.  I love you and I miss you!  ❤

I have Physics homework due at midnight.

I have Physics homework due at midnight.  Most of it is done.  I feel like I'm crashing, though.  How horrible am I if I just go to bed?

I don't know if it's the extra back pain or what, but I feel especially drained today.  🙁
