My GPA according to JSU....

My GPA according to JSU. THE INTRO TO TECH MATH D FROM 2001 DOESN'T TRANSFER! I am so beyond happy and excited right now. 😀😀😀 And relieved!

I'm glad I'm out of school this week.

I'm glad I'm out of school this week.  I haven't been able to register for classes at JSU despite meeting with an adviser and being cleared for registration so I went up to the school today.  Turns out that they had me registered as a transient student (though I've never taken classes there) - not a transfer student - and that was messing up everything.  I had to re-apply for Fall semester and I was told that things should be straightened out towards the end of this week.

I also got some bad news.  I may not be getting the Presidential Scholarship that I have worked so hard for.  🙁  I talked to someone who told me that the funding for scholarships might be cut and that they are currently looking at giving out that scholarship based on GPA - starting with the 4.0 students and working down to the 3.5s.  I only have a 3.656 (because of a D I got in 2001 - back when I didn't know how to drop a class), so I've worked damn hard to drag it back up and that is very disheartening.

Anyway, I'm trying not to get too down in the dumps over it just yet (until I know something for sure), but DANG.  I was really counting on that.  Student loans are still an option, but I will do that as a last resort.  I really don't want to graduate college closing in on 40 years old with a giant tuition debt.  🙁

Marry Me Blu

I've been trying for almost 2 weeks to get good pictures / videos of my proposal polishes.  I have been failing, but I did finally get a wheel to swatch them on and since Shaun has a better camera and bigger hands for wheel-spinning I tasked him with making the video.  This is how the polishes look in outdoor lighting.  I'm going to try to get one more of them this week in indoor lighting because they are beautiful both ways.

Shaun worked with Lindsey, the magic-maker behind Tonic Nail Polish to come up with this.  His goal was to make a custom color for me that was a brown / olive green shifter.  "Marry Me Blu" was THE ONE, but the other prototypes turned out so beautiful that he asked to name them and buy them as a collection so that is what this is.

So without further delay - here is the Delta X Collection, given to me on 3.14.  The names of the polishes are math puns since I really dig math (despite my struggles this semester).

1:  Marry Me Blu 

2:  Trapezoidal Pool (Trapezoidal Rule)

3:  Convergent Seabreeze (Convergent Series)

4:  Functional Ambivalence (Functional Equivalence)

5:  Divinely Integral (Definite Integral)

6:  No Name (free prototype)

7:  Partial to Derivatives (Partial Derivative)

8:  Tangent Pine (Tangent Line)

9:  Differential Elation (Differential Equation)

Spring Break "dragon, stress-acne, psoriasis face, messy gray hair" selfie. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing than chilling with my guys and my ani-pals. I think us girls are about to get our nails done! 😃

Kiddos!

Jasmyine Hill:  I got to hang with the cool kids tonight. Pretty sure they were just using me for my uke, but I'm totally okay with that.

Making up for months and months worth...

Making up for months and months worth of lost time doing housework.  I think this is the most therapeutic thing I've done for myself in a while.  No real brain-work required, I'm up and moving, and of course I feel tons better when things are in order and clean.

Also, I just saw the cutest thing.  BooBear is napping in the floor.  Nom usually chases him, but this time he just watched him sleep for a few minutes and then went about his business.  I swear he loves him so much.  If only Boo liked him back!  😂😂😂

Anyway, I'm off.  Just had to take a breather and stopped to see what was going on in Internet land.  ❤

Snakey snuggles. ❤️😃❤️

I swear this is one of the most chill animals who lives here, but most people won't give him a chance. He is a good boy, though, and we love him. 😍
