Shaun made an origami succulent for me for our anniversary. He said it is the paper anniversary. I don't keep track of the traditional stuff, but I thought that was super sweet. He is the most thoughtful and creative person. I am so lucky to share my life with him. 🥰

Spending my favorite day with my favorite person.
Spending my favorite day with my favorite person. Happy 1 Year of Marriage to us! ❤️
We've been together since 2008. He's been my best friend through all of the good times and the bad. My life is immeasurably better because this human is in it. 💗💗💗
Edited to add: Yes, he plays Pokémon and he's definitely up for friends. Post your code in the comments and I'll make sure he gets it. 😊

The time change got me and I'm a bit drowsy, but...
The time change got me and I'm a bit drowsy, but I made it to my Geometry test on time. There were 5 questions total; one, I couldn't make sense of (it had 4 parts and seemed like they were all asking the same thing, but in a different way each time) and another was the ONE theorem I didn't learn how to prove. 😕
There were 2 Theorems out of the 11 I had to learn on the test so I spent the extra time after I finished the exam proving whatever I had time to prove (like 5 or 6 theorems - definitely not a small effort). I feel like that was pretty uncool - he surely could have narrowed it down some more. I don't know if showing that I worked my ass off to be ready for the test will pay off or not, but I definitely wanted him to see that I did.
In the end I might still fail it, but it definitely won't be due to lack of effort on my part. Thankfully, I felt ok about the other 3 questions so that's more than half, at least. We shall see.

For the first time in a few weeks...
For the first time in a few weeks I'm not anxious or feeling bad about school. I spent my weekend studying and relaxing. I desperately needed to do both and I did.
I'm pretty sure I've got an A in both of my CS classes. I'm passing Advanced Cal with a C which is honestly not something I will complain about. And though I messed up on my first Geometry exam I feel pretty good about the one I'm taking tomorrow. Overall, leaving Differential Equations for later on feels like it was the right decision. I still have some things to catch up on but I'm finally feeling like that will happen, thank goodness.
Thank you to everyone who helped and encouraged me last week. I was (obviously) pretty overwhelmed and it was not good. I'm really glad the teacher postponed the exam until tomorrow; he said he received a lot of emails from panicking students so at least I wasn't alone in that. I hope we all have a good week. Goodnight, friends! ❤

I've never been so glad to see a C in my life.
I came ThisClose to not going to school today.
I came ThisClose to not going to school today. I felt like "What is the point of going if I know I'm just going to fail?" But then I scraped up some motivation and went. Is it bad to say that I really wanted to go to the Rec Center after classes to work out? (I've been going since it opened. I've not had a tension headache since.) Between that and some much - needed inspiration from Whitney - I left the house.
I'm glad I did. Our exam was postponed until Monday. The professor received several emails from students panicking. So we had another review and the professor admitted that there was a LOT of material on the test. He said he wouldn't do that again. I am grateful for that and the extra time.
I'm going to use Michelle's method of studying / writing proofs this weekend and try to get a bit more on top of things. I feel pretty relieved at the moment. Thank goodness!

I'm 99% sure I'm going to fail my Geometry test tomorrow.
Not only that, but the teacher gave us a study guide which basically had everything on it since the last exam. That didn't help much. Then earlier today he sent an email for us to remember 10 proofs (he was narrowing it down). That's still a lot. 😟
I was drinking a Boba tea while studying and halfway wished I'd suck a ball down my throat. I don't want to fail. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel burned out and behind. 😥
