I talked to my Stats professor today after class.

I talked to my Stats professor today after class.  The way the points for the class are set up, it looks like I'll come out with a C if I do all of the labs (which I will), the bonus-point assignment that I signed up for (of course), AND make a 50 on the last 3 exams (which I am sure I can manage).  Anything above that and I'm headed towards a B.  Woohoo!

In that class if we don't miss an exam our final grade can replace a low test grade, so it's entirely POSSIBLE (though not probable) that I could come out with an A.  After the way this semester has gone, I'd be excited to come out with a C (which is passing for my major's purposes), but of course a B would be amazing.  I am doing ok in my two CS classes, so really it's Linear Algebra that I have to worry about.

So I'm finally starting to feel better about being at JSU.  I've walked around enough that I know where things are, I've figured out how a lot of stuff works, and I've been able to find a lot of help and support when I needed it.  Still haven't heard back about dropping a class and keeping scholarships, but since I found out that my GPA can take a temporary hit I'm not freaking out.

So with that, I'm off to finish my Stats labs and make sure I'm ready for the test we have on Thursday.  I have a Linear Algebra quiz on Friday, so I'll freak out about that once I find out what's on it tomorrow.  LOL

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.
