Haha.

Haha.  I woke up feeling pretty bad.  I went to the doctor and I'm either getting a UTI or I have a kidney stone.  They just gave me the worst antibiotic injection OF MY LIFE.  I'm no wimp, but that HURT.

Truly, I love how it's always something when all I want to do is concentrate on school and family.  At least no one has died in a week or two, though, so that's a win, right?

After I posted my last status...

After I posted my last status I hit the sheets instead of the books.  I feel so rough.  My horse Ibuprofens aren't doing anything.  I'm really hoping this flare chills down soon.  I don't want to end up back on methotrexate.  That makes me feel so bad in other ways and makes my brain too foggy to concentrate.  🙁

I'm going back to bed.  Hopefully some extra rest will help.

I'm home. It was an exhausting first day back to school.

I'm home.  It was an exhausting first day back to school.  Doesn't help that my bones were aching like crazy and I wasn't prepared with my horse Ibuprofen or anything.  🙁

On the plus side the classes I'm taking for the rest of this year are these:

Summer:  

Fundamentals of Computer Operating Systems

Fall:

Software Engineering I

Data Structures and Algorithms

Computer Organization and Architecture

Linear Algebra

If you recall Linear Algebra beat me down and stomped me almost to death last fall.  I feel a good bit better going in now that I've seen what it's like and also now that I have almost finished MS300 (Intro to Advanced Math).  I was hoping to put Linear off until much later, but this would allow me to take a math class next summer and give me some more wiggle room to keep my graduation date (May 2020) intact.  Also, I might as well do it because it's my last math that is a CS Elective and also required for the Math degree.  It will make me feel accomplished to be able to check it off of both lists.

Anyway.  I've gotta hit the books.  Even though I can take a few grades and not finish some classes this semester I just found out that I've gotta stay in Java because the teacher didn't have the weighted totals showing on Blackboard - meaning that my grade was lower than I thought.  😕  But I know I need that class and I do need to practice.  I will just take the grades for the classes where I have an A and dedicate my time to the last couple of classes that really need my attention.

I hope y'all are doing well.  I'm gonna keep hanging in here.  ❤

I registered for classes for summer and fall.

I registered for classes for summer and fall.  I'll post details later.

JSU looks just different enough to feel really disconcerting.  I didn't know every tree or building by heart, but it's weird to walk by and know that something is missing or off and not be able to put your finger on it.  There are buildings with tarps and tree carcasses everywhere.  My heart is sad, but I'm here.

Must. keep. swimming.

I'm slippin', y'all.

I'm slippin', y'all.  My skin and bones are flaring up and I've spent the last few days sleeping or being a lump on the couch.

I've been out of school for basically 4 weeks.  I've done some spring cleaning but other than that - basically nothing.  I did meet a classmate yesterday at school to work on a project.  I hadn't seen JSU since the tornado.  It was really sad.  I had some tears about it.

School officially starts back tomorrow.  I'm only planning to finish 2 or possibly 3 classes.  I'm going to take my grades in the others and be done.  I would finish them all, but I just need some stress off of me.  It's weird because I've been on spring break and tornado vacation for some weeks - not a lot of stress.  No one has died in the last few days.  Midna has been doing ok-ish, but she's vomited a couple of times now and that worries me.  I guess it hasn't been totally stress-free.

Anyway.  I wish I wasn't such a pathetic lump right now.  If I have been quiet or unresponsive this is why.  I hope you all are doing well.  ❤

Um... no thank you, Facebook and / or Wal-Mart.

Um... no thank you, Facebook and / or Wal-Mart.  Why is this being advertised to me?  😳

Aww, I hear a rooster.

Aww, I hear a rooster. I wonder if he wants to come in my house...
