So... I've met some people at school and that is better.

So... I've met some people at school and that is better. I got to talk to 2 other CS girls today - both of which are in my class.  I'm pretty pumped.  We exchanged numbers, so now if shit gets real we can have each others backs.  😃  The school also sent out an email saying that they had free tutoring for both of my CS classes, so it is a relief to know I'll have that resource as well if I need it.

I have also just about decided that I can't EVEN with that rolling backpack I have.  I think I need something smaller and something that I can actually carry on my back because it flips over when I hit bumps, and I have to stop and pick it up every time I need to go up or down stairs (which is often, an it's always when other people are trying to get to / from classes, so I'm not a fan of stopping the traffic).  I don't know.  I need to change what I'm doing, though.

I'm insanely exhausted today, and I'm glad for the long weekend.  I have a lot of catching up to do.  And also, I was contacted last night by someone who needed a person to rehab some field mice, and even though I'm not doing a lot of animal stuff right now no one else would take them, and so I have them.  I'm going to look for another rescuer / rehabber to take them, but I don't think I'll have much luck.  😕  But we shall see.

Anyway.  I hope all is well with you.  My plate is full and my cup is almost empty, but I'm going to take care of me soon.  ❤

I am tired to death this morning.

I am tired to death this morning. How is it only halfway through this week? 🙁

I was just telling Shaun last night...

I was just telling Shaun last night that I don't feel overwhelmed yet, so I don't feel like I am doing enough.

JSU fixed that today.  😨  There are some things I don't know in Probability and Stats that other people seem to already know.  I had never even heard of a Truth Table until Discrete Computational Structures today, but it is something that apparently they teach in CS 230 (the pre-req for Discrete) at JSU (but not GSCC).  So... yeah.  I feel really behind, and that sucks.  I have a ton of studying to do.  I sincerely hope that I can catch up and be ok.  I think that I will be fine, but I definitely don't feel good about things yet.  😕

I have given up on homework.

I have given up on homework. I am in bed. Maybe tomorrow will be ok.

Feeling mostly better today, but being sick...

Feeling mostly better today, but being sick for almost all of the weekend isn't very restful. I'm super tired and I have a full week ahead.  Also, I'm already behind on homework because I couldn't do anything yesterday.  I guess I will be doing some Linear Algebra shortly.  I wish I could catch a break.

I have been sick with sinus crap all week.

I have been sick with sinus crap all week. I thought it was moving out and I'd be ok this weekend, but now I'm dealing with a migraine and nausea. I don't know what is going on, but I have homework and zero time for this. 🙁 Also, I'm miserable. 😰

School was better today.

School was better today.  We actually started learning things, so I feel a lot less anxious.  Also, I feel like the exercise of walking is doing me some good.  Even though I'm still huffing and puffing like an old fart after walking up the hill I have more energy (eventually).  So that's ok.

In programming we started going over the basics of C++.  I'm excited to install Dev-C++ on my computer and play with that.  It looks fun.  I like that when you compile it it tells you if you have errors and from what I saw it tells you what they are.  You don't compile in Python; you just run those programs and they either work or they don't.  It will give you error messages if something is wrong, but nothing as specific as what I saw in C++ today.  So I feel like this is probably better.  🙂

In Linear Algebra we did two example problems and now have homework, so that's better, too.  The things we went over today were not hard.  Kind of weird and leaves open a million places to go wrong with basic arithmetic, but there was nothing that I did not understand.  So far, that actually looks pretty fun because I am a fan of algebra anyway, so hopefully it doesn't turn crazy or awful.

Oh, and I got an email back from my Stats teacher.  She said that I was definitely overthinking the problem and that she hadn't taught us how to find p-values yet; she really just wanted to find out how skeptical we were or not to get an idea about us.  So I'm feeling a lot better about that class, too.  I was really afraid that I was already behind, but I am not.  😃

Anyway.  I ran some errands after class and now I'm home.  I'm about to make some lunch and get started studying.  Woohoo!  😃
