It's been a long week. I've been super tired.

It's been a long week.  I've been super tired.  Went to the doctor today and I'm battling an infection.  Again.  Or still.  I don't even know at this point.  The doctor is also slightly concerned about my liver, so they took blood and hopefully everything comes back fine next week.  Hopefully 2-ish years of methotrexate didn't wreck it.  Other news on the health front:  I feel my skin and bones getting ready to flare up; I'm not sure if it's weather or stress or what, but it's coming.  Yay. /sarcasm

The highlight of my week was Thursday.  Dr. Trifas invited Kira to come to class with me, and she did.  Dr. Trifas liked her a lot.  She emailed me today and told me how beautiful and genuine and smart Kira is.  Of course, we already knew that, but I'm glad that others see it, too.  🙂  She is interested in helping her get ready to take the ACT so hopefully we can work on some of that soon, but with her school schedule it might not be super easy.

We'll work it out, though.

Anyway, after my Discrete class was over I had to go and take my Stats test, so Kira went over to the library at JSU and waited for me to be done.  When I got over there we checked out quite a few art books that she was interested in.  Then we took an elevator selfie because the ceiling is a mirror, so why not?  LOL  THEN we had lunch together at TMB, picked up a few art supplies at the bookstore, and then walked around some.  Kira said she had a really good day, and I did, too.  I think she is thinking more about college stuff, so that is making my day.  😃❤❤

Ok, well, maybe Linear Algebra isn't going so well...

Can anyone tell me...

Anxiously awaiting the results of my Statistics test.

Anxiously awaiting the results of my Statistics test.  I felt mostly ok about it, but that means nothing.

I just checked my Linear Algebra average and it's a whopping 46.  ☹️☹️☹️  I am kind of back to hoping I can drop it.  I know that if I fail it I can re-take it, but I might have to take it with the same teacher; I'm not sure, so I will check on that tomorrow.

The guy who teaches it next semester has super low ratings, though, so even if I can take a different teacher it doesn't seem like it will be any better.  I'm kind of wondering if I can just save it for later.  I'm just feeling like there is no win for me right now.  😕

I have a Linear Algebra quiz tomorrow, so I guess I'm off to study - for all the good it will do.  I'm trying not to feel discouraged, but it's just about the middle of the semester and it doesn't seem like there is much saving to be done on that grade.  Wish me all the luck and brain power, please.  I need it.  ❤

Up studying.

I legit have about 5 calculators now.

I NEED THEM ALL!  😂😂😂😭😭😭

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
