I'm so excited!

I studied SO MUCH today.

I studied SO MUCH today.  Maybe too much.  I got to one of my favorite kinds of problems and then really crapped all over the calculations - repeatedly.  I had to stop and take a break.  Now my anxiety is up and I'm getting a headache.

Other than that I'm feeling pretty decent about the upcoming final exam.  There were a few things that weren't making sense to me that do now.  I've done so many problems over the last few days that if these processes aren't stuck in my head, they just aren't going to be.  I have one more day to review my material and then it's GO TIME.

There is one big monster of a problem that I'm about to go over again and then I'm calling it a night.  Even though I've been sitting here on my butt studying and practicing math, I'm worn out.  Either I'm old or my brain is using up all of my energy.  😂  Goodnight, friends!  ❤

We kept getting security notifications from the other house...

We kept getting security notifications from the other house. Shaun cast the videos from the notifications to the TV so we could both see them. Turns out that the cats we already moved have gotten into a room they shouldn't be in.

Scar is on the case. I don't know why it's so funny to me to see a cat watching cats on the security camera, but it is. 😂😂😂

Pardon the mess. Shaun's doing repairs and upgrades, so tidiness hasn't been the top priority.

At least Balthazar...

At least Balthazar doesn't make life hard by insisting he be held 24/7. He's happy to be next to me. He's crashed out under my notebook without a care in the world. 😂

I'm taking a little break before I get back to work.

I'm taking a little break before I get back to work.  The last few days that Shaun has been here for me have been really productive, studying-wise.  I'm fairly certain that I can solve a system of differential equations on the exam now.  I'm also good on MOST of the Laplace transform stuff.  Both of those things make up about 50% of the final.  The other 50% is older stuff from earlier this semester.

I made an 87 on the first exam so hopefully all I need on that material is a little refreshment.  The 2nd exam was in the midst of everything going wrong so I hadn't studied or done homework like I should have before the test, although I did eventually catch up (unfortunately not in time for it to affect my grade in a positive manner).  I'll be looking over that stuff during the next two days and hopefully I'll be all set.

I am feeling pretty good at the moment; a little stressed, but not panicked and not feeling like doom is hanging over me.  Since classes ended I've lost maybe 4 days of studying due to mental health and busy days (counting Thanksgiving), but other than that I can honestly say that I have put in some serious work.  I know that I've said it a few times by now, but I absolutely know that I can do this stuff.  The question at this point is whether I can do well enough on the final exam to raise my grade to passing.  We will be finding that out very soon.

Well, I hope you all are having a good evening.  There is one more thing I want to cover tonight before my brain tires out, so I'm off to study it.  Have a good night, friends.  ❤

Honestly out here making my life hard.

Honestly out here making my life hard. Just look at him. How am I supposed to move him off my lap while he's lookin' like this!?
