I'm having nerves about tests this week.

I'm having nerves about tests this week.  I get one out of the way tomorrow.  I feel more prepared for it than I have all semester, but GOSH.  The days are getting away from me.  😳

I feel so bad for my Calculus teacher.

I feel so bad for my Calculus teacher. He said he would help us via Blackboard / email over the weekend.  I've already responded to one and sent three more.  😂😂😂  But I am not taking a B in Calculus without a fight.  I am determined to learn this stuff and ace my next 3 exams!

I am so grateful for teachers who go above and beyond.  I hope the ones at JSU are even a fraction as helpful as everyone at GSCC has been.  If they are I will be just fine.  🙂

I didn't study anything today.

I didn't study anything today.  I did, however, take Booka to the vet for a giant mess of ear wax that I couldn't remove (it was only in one ear - so weird!), take a Literature final, cash a paycheck, buy school supplies for Shadow (at Wal-Mart with the day-walkers!), and clean the house a little.  As much as I feel the pressure to study I feel even more that my brain needed a day off.

I just spent an hour filing some serious length off my nails.  I probably need a new file since it took so long, but I'll deal with that later.  LOL  I'm about to take off my polish, show my cuticles some love, and re-paint my nails.  I don't know that I have the time or energy or brain-space for nail art, but a coat of something pretty will make me feel nice.

So... I'm watching the Netflix with MY SENIOR and doing nails.  I hope you all are having a nice, chill evening, as well.  I'll be working my tail off for the next week, so I'm enjoying my down-time while I can!  🙂

Made a 190/200 on the last Calculus test I took.

Made a 190/200 on the last Calculus test I took.  That's a 95!  Woohoo!

Now if I can do that on the next 3...

Lit Final - DONE.

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.
