I am frustrated by...

Well... I've finally studied some Calculus.
Thursday, April 6, 2017
I'm heading to class.
I'm heading to class. It's been a slow week which has been great because I have felt awful. I felt feverish yesterday and literally slept for most of the day. This is not regular psoriasis / psoriatic arthritis stuff. I'm going to C.A.R.E.S. tomorrow.
Being so tired and worn down means I haven't studied as much as I wanted to have studied by now, but today isn't as bad and I do have the weekend with no plans to get some things locked into my brain. Maybe I won't be too wiped out to study today by the time I get back home.
Due to the weather I have FIVE tests next week. 😳 That means it's a big week and probably my last chance to redeem myself in Calculus. I checked my average and I have a low B so that's not as bad as I thought. That was a relief.
Anyway, I'm off. I hope this week is treating you a little better. ❤️
Edited to Add: Make that SIX tests. 😟

Right after I posted my last status I took a nap...
I think I'm quitting methotrexate for the rest of the semester.
I think I'm quitting methotrexate for the rest of the semester. Even after a week of rest I am wiped out. I slept late today and I'm already ready for bed.
To anyone who will have to look at me for the next 4 weeks - I apologize in advance. I'm about to be more red and crusty than ever. And more rickety and grumpy, too. But at least I should have some energy and a clear mind.
I really wish I could have health insurance right now. 🙁

My GPA according to JSU....
Tuesday, March 28, 2017
I'm glad I'm out of school this week.
I'm glad I'm out of school this week. I haven't been able to register for classes at JSU despite meeting with an adviser and being cleared for registration so I went up to the school today. Turns out that they had me registered as a transient student (though I've never taken classes there) - not a transfer student - and that was messing up everything. I had to re-apply for Fall semester and I was told that things should be straightened out towards the end of this week.
I also got some bad news. I may not be getting the Presidential Scholarship that I have worked so hard for. 🙁 I talked to someone who told me that the funding for scholarships might be cut and that they are currently looking at giving out that scholarship based on GPA - starting with the 4.0 students and working down to the 3.5s. I only have a 3.656 (because of a D I got in 2001 - back when I didn't know how to drop a class), so I've worked damn hard to drag it back up and that is very disheartening.
Anyway, I'm trying not to get too down in the dumps over it just yet (until I know something for sure), but DANG. I was really counting on that. Student loans are still an option, but I will do that as a last resort. I really don't want to graduate college closing in on 40 years old with a giant tuition debt. 🙁
