My last exam of the semester is tomorrow.

My last exam of the semester is tomorrow.  It's in Intro to Advanced Math.

As an incentive to keep students in classes they said that whatever grade we had before the tornadoes would be our final grade unless we made higher on the last exam; in other words:  we can't make a lower grade so staying in could only get you a higher grade.  I currently have a sad little C in that class, but hopefully with the exam tomorrow it will end up higher.  We shall see.

In other news I made A's in Intro to Web Design, Technical Writing, and Game Design.  I somehow made a B in Java (no complaints there, though - I really struggled with that class).  And per the incentive to keep us in school I've already at least passed my math class.

Not to celebrate prematurely, but that basically means another semester under my belt.  Aside from any summer courses I might take I'm 4 semesters (spring + fall) away from having a double major in math and CS.  That really makes it sound like not a lot more time, but in reality that is May 2020.  I think I'm just going to count it down in terms of semesters.

Anyway, I'm off to study.  I have my exam tomorrow and things to catch up on the rest of the week, but after that I am going to enjoy some freedom and much-deserved rest.  Who knows - I might even work!  Happy Sunday, pals!  ❤

Today wasn't bad. 🙂

Today wasn't bad.  🙂  I took my Java final and did ok.  My math exam is moved to Monday so I have a little more time to prepare for that.  I no longer feel like a petrified piece of crap.  Maybe I can do well in math, too.  A girl can dream!

I ran errands this morning.

I ran errands this morning.  Dropped Faith off for her teeth cleaning.  Picked up more meds for Midna.  Got lost in RMC trying to get my medical records.  Went to Wal-Mart.  Went to Tractor Supply.  Came home.  Crashed.  Woke up.  Felt sick.  Fed the animals.  Picked up Faith.  Came home.  Sat on couch.

That is it.  I had planned to study since I had the house to myself.  Instead I have been a complete piece of crap.  I have an invisible elephant on my chest and I have literally sat here, TV off, trying to psych myself up to study, but instead doing nothing except occasionally picking up my phone or laptop and proceeding to do more nothing.  I hate it when I get this way.  It is exhausting and I don't know how to snap out of it.  🙁

I hope y'all are all doing well.  I'm not at the moment, but I probably will be after this week ends and I get over the inevitable stress hangover I will have.  ❤❤❤ to you all.

I'm so glad Midna feels good enough to play with Leon.

I'm so glad Midna feels good enough to play with Leon a little bit.  I haven't seen her feel playful in ages.  💗💗💗

I'm also glad that Faith isn't dead.  She had her teeth cleaned this morning and I was having some serious anxiety about putting her under at her age.  But the vet said her bloodwork was good and she's doing well.  I can pick my old lady up this afternoon.  🙂

Other than that my plan for the day is to nap and study.  Induction into the Math Honor Society is this afternoon.  I was planning to go, but changed my mind.  I feel tapped out already.  Besides, I don't want to get in and have them kick me right back out for ending with a C this semester.  Priorities!  🙂

I'm struggling.

I'm struggling. I've had a hard time not sleeping for the last 2 days. I'm depression-avoiding my life. I know it's just end of semester stress, but dang. 😥

Now that the excitement is over I'm crashing out.

Now that the excitement is over I'm crashing out.  Kira drove the car home from Gadsden with Shaun (I followed behind because I wanted to stay close).  She did a great job, but I could tell she was starting to get tired towards the end.  I think she needed to work up to a drive that big, but she did great and we are proud of her nonetheless.  The first thing she wanted to do when she got back was take her kitty Leon on a drive so she and Shaun and Leon are out and about right now.  😂😂😂

Next week is the last week of this semester.  We're taking "final" exams... but not exactly.  Since the tornado messed us up we're taking the last exams of the semester - though they don't seem to be what the teachers in either of my remaining classes consider to be "final exams."  I have a ton of studying to do between now and next Friday, but I am grateful that this semester is coming to a close.  I am beyond ready for a break.

As it seems the story of my life goes nowadays I endured a lot of  loss this semester as well as struggled through a couple of classes.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to come out with a C in Java and Intro to Advanced Math will be a C or higher - I feel like I might be able to budge that score.  The other 3 classes were marked as A's already so I don't have to worry about those.  I guess what is important is that I keep moving forward, but those bad grades sure do shake my confidence.  It makes me worried that I am not cut out for higher math or CS.  🙁

Anyway.  I'm off to either do things or nap.  Who knows.  😛 I hope you all are doing well.  ❤

Early graduation gift...

Early graduation gift for this one. She can get her license soon. She's excited if you can't tell. 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
