Very late and wide awake.

It's 11:38 pm.  I got home late tonight.  For extra credit my History professor made us go listen to the Ambassador to Syria complain for an hour.  That man is angry and doesnt like Isreal very much.  It was hot and crowded, I nodded off twice. He ran long (of course) and we didnt get out of there until almost 9:30. I have a BIO test tomorrow and wanted to get some of it into my head before going to bed.  So I re-type all of my notes ( its how I learn) and look up some extra stuff that I think she'll ask for extra credit.  She always does that. She'll mention something briefly in class thats not in the notes and it always winds up as an extra credit on the test, she's sneaky. Last one was "What is electrophoresis used for?" Only a couple people besides me remembered. We're doing genetics and populations now. I'm betting it will be "What is the endosymbiont hypothesis?" She only mentioned it once and it aint in the notes! Hehe.  This is my last BIO class. I opted out on the final because my grade is so high. I get an A without having to take it! Cool huh!  My Lab final is next Tues. and I'm sweating bullets for that one. I have to study my ass off all weekend.  History , Math and Religion are 8th, 9th, and 10th. Not too bad, I'm not really worried about those.

Joe has begun building me a platform for a semi-permanant pool.  Not one of those above-ground monstrosities.  A 13 foot by 3.5 foot pool with a filter system.  The kids will need it this summer and I didnt want to waste money on another crappy plastic pool that wasnt big enough to turn around in.  So , he had to build me a flat surface near the house that I could put the pool on.  (He was NOT happy about this) Too bad.

The weather has been nice, 80's, for the last few days.  Supposed to get wind and rain tomorrow.

I guess I better go lie down, I gotta get up at 5:30.  GOODNIGHT!

Stress and my brain.

It's been a long month. Why. I dunno. Stress i guess. Stress does funny things to me. It makes my heart go all wonky. It makes me snap at my kids and give my husband the hairy eyeball. It also inspires me and gets my creativity going. Yesterday I started writing another book. By accident. Um, yeah, I just sat down and before I realized it, I had a first chapter.  I dont know what it is yet. It's going to evolve.

We talk about houses. It seems to be our favorite topic to argue about lately.  He's home for a week and that length of time is hard. I'm not used to having him around that much. And he whines. And he makes messes he never cleans up. I breath deeply and hold my tongue most of the time. Its hard, its takes everything in me to refrain from what I want to say.  I remind myself that its not worth the aggravation.  I think that builds up behind the default stress. I stay optimistic and try to make him feel the same. Doesnt work.

I have finals in 2 weeks. I know alot. But  always feel like its not enough.  I may get two B's and its eating away at my confidence. I hate B's, I loathe B's.  They are like first runner up. First loser. It's depressing. I know I'm being unreasonable. I blame it on my Obsessive/Compulsive disorder.

I'm ok. I'll suffer through.  Not the end of the world. Its actually a very good time to write.....so I guess that's what I'll do.

April snow showers?

Woke up to SNOW this morning. Three days ago it was close to 90.  Boggles the mind.

The kids are out of school until the 16th and I'll be missing school because of it. I'm still trying to do at least an hour or two of schoolwork every day so I dont fall too far behind.  This Thursday I have an exam that I cant miss, so the kids will be coming with me when I take it. Fun.

All that I have left to do for my pre-surgical workup is the bloodwork.  I'm going to try and get that done this week.  I have to go in fasting.  Once the bloodwork is done, my insurance company has to appove me.  That should take a few weeks.

I registered for next semester and I'll be fully loaded.  History, Speech, Physics, Physics Lab, Statistics, and an online PE class.  After next semester I will have only 7 classes left until I can graduate with an AS. So I'm hoping to be done Summer 08 (fingers crossed).

Anyway, thats it.  We were supposed to go to an outdoor easter egg hunt today but I have to imagine its going to be cancelled. So I guess we'll be hanging at the homestead.

Tata!
