Wow, my blog loyalty is not so steadfast. I used to pride myself in updating daily. Sad, is it not?
Well, this week has been ridiculously and unnecessarily stress-inducing. For one, after getting back into my math class, I had that midterm on Tuesday. A lovely post V-day gift. And I could have spent that entire previous weekend studying for it rather than torturing myself over the "should I/should I not" thing. So I barely studied for it but I knew I could do pretty well given the outrageous quantity of time I had into it just from the homework and the tutoring. So I managed to only miss two and got an A-. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. I still hate the class though, and it's still going to be tough to keep up my motivation to learn/do the homework. So, not much has changed in that department.
So Tuesday night for some reason I only obtained three or four hours of sleep. And Wednesday night was about the same, so yesterday I was trying to function with a grand total of about 7 hours of sleep from the past two nights. It's extremely uncool being tired and unable to actually fall asleep. Luckily last night was a slight improvement.
I had my second chemistry midterm today, and I was all nervous about it. I could picture myself panicking and failing, which is never a good thing. Plus I got there only ten till and the previous class obviously had a test or something too since they were staggering out quite staggered. So there were a ton of people crowded in the hall and I really wanted to get a decent spot not stuck in a middle. All this circumstantial stuff just conglomerated with my natural neurotic nervousness. But luckily his practice exams are incredibly close to the real deal, and the problems are a whole heck of a lot easier than the book problems, and all the information wasn't magically erased the second I glanced at the first problem, so I did alright. He posted the answers in the hall immediately after class so I joined the mob and managed to write down the solutions to figure out I missed two. Dang those open-ended mercury manometer questions! I thought I finally had those down. Guess not..it's so freaking simple too! Arg.
I'm going to try and figure out what I want to take next term sometime soon. Second term chem. and HHS for sure, but then I don't know..field sampling would only bump it up to 11 credits. But there's a four hour trip involved every week for that. So I don't know if I want a class with a lab and recitation, one with an activity, and another with a huge ass field trip every week, in addition to another bacc. core class. So I don't know yet. I have an advising appt. on Tuesday..hopefully that will help.
Hmm, if I can just get through these last weeks and make it to spring break..I might actually be happy. No matter what happens I know next term will be better. I know, because I will not be in this math class. Even if I fail it, I'm not going back into a mainstream precalc. class. Sunday is work party, which isn't so bad. It is followed by pizza. Plus at least it's obviously constructive.
