I stopped by the Registrar's office today to ask a question.

I stopped by the Registrar's office today to ask a question.  That question was:  "If I make a bad grade and re-take the class, does the new grade replace the old one?"  The answer was yes, so I am breathing a sigh of relief.

I haven't yet heard back about dropping a class and being able to keep my scholarship, but as far as I know my scholarship only requires me to keep a 3.0.  My 3.8 can take a hit, especially if it's just temporary.  Still trying to do my best because I hate to waste time and money, but that adds a layer of security for me.  I was kind of bummed at the thought of dropping a class, anyway, especially if it's one I'm struggling with.  I feel like I want to stay in and see what I'm up against, you know?

So the panic-mode is deactivating.  Probably in part due to having knowledge and plans, and probably also in part due to Celexa.  In any case I do have some school work to do this weekend, but I am not going to freak out the whole time I'm doing it.  I hope y'all have a lovely weekend.  I am planning to have the best one I've had in a while.  🙂

Today has been basically a complete waste.

Today has been basically a complete waste. I didn't make it to any class, and I didn't find the kitten, and I haven't studied, and I'm gross and sick from being on the side of the road and under my car.

Super "Thank you" to my mom for coming to help me look for the kitten when I called.  Much appreciation goes out to Meia for taking me back and helping me look for the kitten again.  We had no luck, but are planning to try one more time tomorrow evening.  Beyond that I don't know what else to do except hope for the best.  Hopefully, I don't find it smashed on the side of the road on my way to school in the morning.  Right now that feels like it would be my luck.

Goodnight, friends, and thank you to everyone who wanted to help.  I'm sorry that I wasn't super available on the interwebs today, but shit was happening and I was trying my best to deal with it.  ❤

Kitten situation:

I was in the left lane getting ready to pass someone.  There was a car in front of me, but not super close.  If I'm not mistaken it was red.  Next thing I know a kitten comes flying back towards my car.  I hit the brakes.  I saw it on the side of the road.  Young, white and orange and brown, blue eyes.  I stopped so close to it because it was right on the edge of the road.  I hesitated because I don't want someone to plow into me.  I panicked; couldn't find emergency flashers.  Said "screw it" and open the door.  No kitten.  My assumption was that it went under my car and hid.  Could not find it there.  Looked in the median.  Called my mom.  Moved my car out of the road.  Looked under it some more.  Looked across the road.  Took my car (super slowly) to Hero's parking lot to get out of the grass and away from the traffic noise to look some more.  Had to come home because the sun makes me sick. Looked on opposite side of the road on the way home.  Cannot find it.  Questioning my sanity.

I need help. Right now.

I need help. Right now. Either I'm insane or the car in front of me just threw a kitten out of their window. I pulled over into the left median and I can't find it. I'm afraid it hid under my car. I can hear it when traffic dies down. I don't know what to do. Was heading from Anniston to Jacksonville. Someone come help me.

I was at school today from 8:45 until around 7:30 this evening.

I was at school today from 8:45 until around 7:30 this evening.  Classes ended at 11, but I went to the library to study after grabbing some lunch because I have a TON of catching up to do.  Didn't go as great as I wanted it to, but I did make some progress, thank goodness.

Not long after I got there an alarm went off telling us to get out of the building and not use the elevators.  So I packed up all of my stuff and carried it down 9 flights of stairs.  😳  Better than having to carry it UP the stairs, I suppose.  LOL  But after they let us back in it went off AGAIN.  I asked someone if I had to leave and he said I could take my safety into my own hands.  So I sat there and kept working.  Then the alarm went off again.  Then they let people come back in.  And then the alarm went off every few minutes after that for probably close to two hours.  It was terrible.  They kept turning it off and announcing over the intercom that we didn't have to leave.  Finally, they got the alarm to stop sounding, but left the emergency lights flashing, so that was distracting, but less horrible than being interrupted by a siren followed by a message to leave.

What is so bad is that I considered coming home several times, but I couldn't decide which place had more distractions.  LMAO  When the library is quiet it is REALLY nice.  I love it.  It is so soothing to my brain.

Anyway.  They said that the building was having a circuit problem or something.  I assumed if it was an actual life or death emergency they would announce as much over the intercom, or people would have seemed more panicked.  I just honest to goodness didn't have time for that mess today.  LOL
