Kira wants a little kitten.

Kira wants a little kitten. We've been to all of the local shelters, as well as PetSmart and PetCo. I know kitten season is almost upon us; does anyone know of any that need a good home?

Has anyone missed nail pics?

Has anyone missed nail pics?  LOL  I sure have missed having time to paint and take photos.  Even when I do manage to get that much done I haven't been cropping or posting my pics.  Blegh.  Priorities.

Well, I did these a month ago.  I used a magnetic polish and I'm posting two pictures because I don't want to deal with the video I took.  There is a super cool shift that a photo just can't catch, though.  You can see it most on my pinky finger.  Magnetic polishes are cool because from one angle they might look one color or shimmery, but from another that same space will appear dark and deep.  It's really captivating in person.

Anyway, I have a few more photos I'm going to get ready to post tonight and I guess I will put them up over the next few days. I have felt rough for most of today, so I'm taking it easy and doing something fun.

I just declared myself a double major.

I just declared myself a double major.  Worst case - I fail and still have one degree.  Best case - I work hard and get two degrees.  Either way - I'm excited!  I'm getting to take some maths I am interested in.  😃

Just finished my math exam...

Just finished my math exam.  I feel pretty good about it, actually.  I'm sure my proof was a mess, but I think the professor can tell where I was trying to go with it.  He said he expects that for the first test and that he grades generously on those.  Now I'm just waiting for the grade!  Paws crossed that it's at least a B.  🙂

My first exam of the semester is tomorrow.


My first exam of the semester is tomorrow. It's a math test. Judging by the tension headache I've had for the last two days I might be a little stressed about it. 😂😭😂😭😂

Guess what!

Guess what!  I got a 60/50 on my Mega Man game.  I guess it was pretty good!  😃

Guess what else!  I talked to Dr. Case today about possibly double-majoring.  That has been my plan off and on, but then last semester was bad and I just didn't give it another thought for a while.  I've been waffling between Math and CS since I was at Gadsden, though, so I thought I'd talk to someone about it.  Turns out that the overlap for those majors is kind of a lot.  Like, as it is now to get a BS in Math with my BS in CS there would only be 6 extra classes.  Considering that I'd rather take summer classes than go through an internship right now that really wouldn't end up adding more than a semester to my school time and it would open up my job prospects a lot.

Not only that, but if I ever have regrets about my major and want to come back there would be a lot of classes that I had to re-take in order to get another Bachelor's degree.  So basically, Dr. Case told me that if I was considering on any level double-majoring to go ahead and do it because it would never be this easy again.  And I really think that I'm gonna go for it.  YOLO and all that.  But also I really want to be wanted in the job market.  We have struggled for too long to get by and this is the way for me to change it.  I want me and Shaun to be able to retire and enjoy life one day and I really want Shadow and Kira to have the opportunity to explore and build lives for themselves.  It's ridiculously hard to get by these days.  I think that most of us are not thriving and that is not cool.

Anyway, I'm off to do homework and study (imagine that).  I'm sorry for not being around, but I'm over here changing my life.  It is pretty hard work, but today felt pretty good.  I hope everyone is having a good start to the week, as well!  ❤ ❤ ❤

I am dead tired.

I am dead tired.  My Mega Man game is due today at midnight.  I worked on it for about 20 hours this week after school and got nowhere fast.  Then last night for whatever reason I started making serious progress.  I really couldn't make myself stop once I was rolling like that so I worked on it until 3 this morning.  😳  I got up and went to my 8:15 class, then worked on it more in my Game Design class, before my Java class, after my Java class, some more after dinner, and just NOW turned it in.  I am hoping to get a good grade on it because I am honestly pretty proud of it.  I made a freaking 70 on Pong.  😕  I'm trying not to beat myself up over that, but the teacher wasn't specific about what he wanted and I was just learning to use the program, so meh.

I have a busy weekend full of studying for my Math 300 class.  It's turning out to be one of my favorites so far.  We have a test on Wednesday and I am determined to be ready.  Speaking of that class I got sassy with the girls behind me this past Wednesday.  They whisper about dumb crap all through class and I finally had enough and turned straight around and looked at them both in their eyeballs and said "Can y'all stop?"  LMAO  I know that wasn't creative, but it just came out.  Maybe they are SO SMART that they don't need help learning the language of math, but I'm not so I want to hear what my teacher is saying and be able to focus.

Anyway.  I'm gonna check on my ani-pals and either do my nails or crash.  I honestly don't know which at this point.  But I hope you have a nice weekend.  If I'm not around it's just because school is keeping me busy.  ❤❤❤
