Still haven't even messed with Instagram. One day. LOL

Still haven't even messed with Instagram.  One day.  LOL

I got hung up on a 4 in Calculus.  I have asked some classmates as well as the teacher where that came from, but I still don't understand, so I took a break to post my nails.  LOL  I feel really dumb because it is probably ridiculously simple, but I'm tired and my brain is tired and I didn't know what else to do.

So... I did these a few days ago when my brain was too tired for studying.  This is a new polish from Lollipop Posse Lacquer, and the name of the polish is "The Future is Coming On."  If that sounds familiar to anyone it's because it is a song lyric, which is what their latest collection was about.  This was actually one of my favorite polishes of the collection, not to mention that the lyric is from one of my favorite bands.  Obviously, I had to have this polish.

I'm just wearing one coat of polish, so you can see my nail line under the stamping if you look closely, as well as the difference between my nail bed and tip on the ring finger.  I really wanted to go with something sheer and sparkly and delicate, paired with a strong shape and pattern and color.  I guess I was in the mood for many levels of contrast.  LOL

One of my favorite things about this polish (which you can see just fine IRL, but it shows better in the bottle in this photo) is the red to gold to green iridescent glitters.  If you look at the left and right of the bottle near the top they are pretty visible (in green and red).  I love getting the flashes of color when they change.

Anyway.  I am off to eat some dinner and then maybe (hopefully) wrap my brain around where this 4 came from.  Later, friends.  ❤


Today is weird.

Today is weird.  It was my last day of tutoring for Gadsden State, and it looks like it was officially my last day at SCM (after 9+ years of being there).  I wish I could say that I felt great relief to have shed some responsibility, but I don't yet.  I have 6 exams between now and August 9th, so I still feel pretty overwhelmed.  Thankfully, I will have more time to devote to studying, so maybe I will finish this semester and this chapter of my life with my sanity intact.  We shall see.

I am glad to be home.  I'm battling a stress migraine.  I'm currently parked on the couch with Shadow, trying to digest lunch, and giving this Excedrin a chance to work.  Then I've gotta hit the books.

I feel like this day deserves more fanfare than I can give it, but that is the story of my life for the last few years.  On the bright side:  I'm about to begin the second half of my journey to getting a Computer Science degree, so that is something.  Maybe I can celebrate after finals.

I just took my last Literature quiz.

I just took my last Literature quiz.  Before the final I have a 98.6 in there.  Woohoo.  I have a study guide for the final, so I'm not gonna sweat that class too hard.

In Calculus, even with that 67 and the 56 I made on Wednesday I have an 86.4.  We have one more exam (not counting the final) in there, plus he's letting us re-take a couple of exams.  So that means I have a chance to pull those grades up and come out with an A.  I am going to work hard and try my best to do it.  I am going to be so disappointed in myself if I come out with a B.  😕

Backpack, books, and parking decal.

Backpack, books, and parking decal. I sure hope I'm not sick to death of math after I get done with Calculus. 😳

I'm about to take these off; I've been wearing them for probably a week.

I'm about to take these off; I've been wearing them for probably a week.  I've been meaning to post, but I've been too crazy to bother.  For anyone who follows me on Instagram @Polish_ALL_TheThings you might have noticed that I still haven't even posted my last mani there.  Maybe I will do it this weekend, but no promises.

I haven't felt super great and so therefore I'm not feeling creative, so this is what it is.  However, the special thing about this paint job (to me) is the polish.  It is one I've wanted since August of 2014.  It's an indie polish, so it was only made for a short time.  I got it in a destash and I am so happy.  The color is "Refresh...ing" by Colors By Llarowe.

Side note about my nails:  I REALLY REALLY like the way this shape looks and despite my arthritis / grip problems the shape has proven to hold up on me better than any other so far.  But I think I might have to round the points just a touch, or either start sleeping in gloves.  I have woken up 3 times within recent memory because I was being stabbed BY MY OWN SELF.  🤣🤣🤣  Twice in the face and once on my side if I'm keeping score.  I haven't left any marks, but they are definitely sharp enough for it to hurt.  They feel AH-MAZING when I have an itch, though.  🤤

Anyway.  I'm off to paint my nails.  I don't have the brainpower currently to do Calculus and I've done enough Literature for one day.  I'm gonna chill tonight.  I think it is necessary.

❤❤❤


I didn't sleep enough.

I didn't sleep enough. Some creature hit the top of my windshield while I was driving. Not sure what it was; I only heard it. ☹️
