Amazingly, I finished all but 2 problems...

Amazingly, I finished all but 2 problems of my physics homework before the midnight deadline.  I still hate that I missed an earlier deadline, though.  Maybe it won't impact my grade too bad, but we'll see.

Before I did my homework Shaun came over with pizza and we watched AFV and I laughed probably too much, but I have feelings today. Then I ate too many Thin Mints with no regrets.  Before I came home I bought myself a new calculator like Abby has so now I'm fancy, too.  (Not really.  No one rob me.  It was $17 at Wal-Mart, but I like it a lot).

I'm gonna do some organizing of my school stuff and call it a night.  I can't be tired for Physics lecture tomorrow or nothing will stick.  Also I want to get to the school early and see if I can find my thumb drive.  I'm still kicking myself that I left it at school.  Maybe someone will turn it in rather than being an uber douche and keeping it.

Goodnight, friends.  I legit cannot believe it's only almost Wednesday.  😳

I accidentally left my thumb drive in the computer at school.

Not a great day.

That time when - despite your best efforts - you miss a Physics deadline so you just sit there and have yourself an ugly cry.

Today turned out to be a mixed bag.

Today turned out to be a mixed bag.  JSU was the highlight.  Failing a Calculus test was the low point.

We had exam 3 tonight and I only finished about half of the test before I got pissed off and gave up.  We didn't get notes on Integration - only the Derivative part of the test.  I did pretty well on the Derivatives, but I don't think I got any of the Integrations correct.  I wrote a note on there that I didn't know what I was doing and that I needed notes on how to work those problems.

In all honesty given all that we've done with Derivatives and Integrations my teacher probably expected that I had a clue, but it really helps me to see / repeat the procedures so I wasn't cool at all.  I should have asked for help before the test, but I was legit on the verge of a breakdown before I took time off this weekend.  With any luck that will be a test that we get a second shot at taking so maybe I'll have the opportunity to do better.

On the bright side - I re-took the second test (the one I made a 95 / 125 on - basically a C) and I felt really good about that one.  So... at least there was that.

Anyway.  I'm checking all of my notifications then I'm off to do homework.  😐  Story of my life - for now.  ❤

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.  ❤
