Math 30 Pure

Tomorrow is my last Diploma, ever. IT's also the only one I'm really worried about…and the one I've studied for the least. I really don't know how to study, I've recently discovered, and Math only exacerbates that. Uck. Does anyone want to come in and write my exam for me? Please?

I'd even pay you, I think.

Oh well, after tomorrow it's done, finished, kaput, and I can live my life as a liberal arts student next year with no math courses at all. Hooray!

Frantic

It's been a while. Let's see, what have I been up to. I went for a hike Sunday, mucked up my knee somewhere between there and Monday, it's still killing me. I need it to be okay for Friday—that's my Grad! Eek! I had a grad test-run for my hair, and it should only take half an hour to forty-five minutes. I'm very pleased with that! 

What else…hmm. My psychology class ended today, but I have to do huge amounts of work to get the final project done by Friday. I'm worried, there's some things I don't understand within the reading of the surveys.

Also, I have to get stuff (how technical!) ready for Grad: cap and gown deposit, hemmed dress, giving up on Sears' late delivery of the shoes I won't be wearing, finalized decals. Plus get my house ready for my family to arrive on Thursday. 

Gah, this is a busy week, it seems like everything has been piled on all at once!

Catch-Up

No post last night—I went to the school dance. For the first one in over ten years that they've held, it was pretty awesome! A few people showed up drunk, but it didn't get shut down, so all's well that ends well.

Today I went on Roadside Clean-Up, talked with my Mommy (long story short, dear friend I used to work for), and picked about one-and-a-half bags of garbage between the two of us. It was actually a relatively clean stretch that we got! It was all a fundraiser for the library, apparently to put in a new book security system, so I was pleased. We did about 11 kilometres, at $100/km.

I've booked grad photos for tomorrow, 1230h, so I might end up joining the masses and purchasing a corny, formal and staged version of myself. (I secretly love formal photos, though, so yippee!)

Profound…?

It's been a while…I've been swamped with a cold, school work up to here, and this crazy thing called Grad.


I helped with the decorating committee today, and it sort of sunk in that, holy shiznit, this will all be gone in two months. Literally. (Insert exclamation swear word of choice….) Wow.


So after that, I went an swung on some awesome swings that I actually didn't use when I attended that school, and I attempted philosophy. My life has sort of evolved around those swings for the nearly-seven years I've lived here. When I was young, going to that school the swing were alternately where the dweebs played, or where the ultimate cool kids played. Either way, me, the new girl again, didn't make a run for them. 
Then I went to the junior high, where the elementary swings were sort of laaaaaaame…so little kid!
I've worked with kids all my life, though, so swings were a way to hold on to that…perfect place to supervise from, too.
High school…I sit on the swings before I pick up the kids after school, going as high as I can. I want the freedom they used to be…. Now I went, tonight, alone, because I could. There was no one saying be here, or there; I simply was. It was brilliant.


I reflected on my screw-ups, my make-ups, everything in between. 


I'm so ready to leave, I don't want to go.

Surprise! Here's something i've been working on for a class…if you would take the time, it would be great!

School Drools

I forgot to write last night…I was frantic over my crazy English essay for The Great Gatsby. Ugh. I'm so, so, soooooo glad to be done it!!
 Tonight: psychology homework!! Do two chapters, or write a survey, or both?!

Crazy!

I'm seriously starting to freak out about my first class…only a week left, and I have to have it all ready, memorized, and smooth.

Bleepitybleepbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!

That about sums up my mental dialogue right now…plus I have two essays to write this week, I need to re-read the book for one of them (The Handmaid's Tale, totally one of my favourites!), and do an outline tomorrow.

Fudge monkeys.

Hectic

No post last night, but that is due to another maga-essay session. I had to rework a lot of it, and still didn't have the zinger conclusion I wanted. Lovely. I also have a Math exam to finish today, so I'll study that during my spare block, before I leave.

Big news: I got an interview call from a bursary I applied to, so the interview is today (during said spare block…). Another busy, busy, busy day!

Dead Or Alive

So I know I've crawled under a rock these last few days, but there is a good reason! While I was writing a grand total of zero words here, I've written about two thousand five hundred for my English class.
Twenty-five hundred.
2500.

I'm so tired…I was up until 0000h yesterday writing, and then 0200h this morning. Two major papers, two days…one class.

After this is done, and I finish my tomato-eggs, I'm going to read over my Math notes for the unit exam tomorrow, and go the fuck to sleep.

What's your one-track-mind telling you today?

,vxchmcvxz,.m/vcx

That was almost literally my head hitting the keyboard in exhaustion. Late-nighter for english paper? Plus chest pains? I'm about to type words I wouldn't usually use on the internet…!

@#$%&&(*()^%$$&^^%(*)_#$@#@#$#$$%^$%~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Famine

So, the 30 Hour Famine is today and tomorrow. Wow. I have to pack a few things—sleeping bag, pillow, flashlight, water bottle, toiletries, change of clothes—and bring them into the school today. I'm thinking my workout bag ought to be large enough to hold the majority of my stuff….

Never mind that. I'll use my 'fashion' bag. (It's so cute, it has litte technical drawings and fashion illustrations all over it!)

I guess I've got to go and get ready, now…I'll talk to y'all tomorrow!

Sun-shiney-day

What a day!
I've made my anniversary gift for my SixAwesomeCanadian friends, with lots of help from a few of them. The first post went up today, and I'm so excited! As of midnight tonight, it's officially our anniversary.

To any 6AC that is reading this…I love you, and I miss you. We should talk more!

Also, my fellow 6AC member and I 'lightened' our hair today with honey and conditioner. So far no drastic results, but we'll see. My hair still has to dry completely. I'm really looking forward to this!

Anything else…? Oh yeah, I did some English homework today. I have math, too, but I'll do that in my spare block tomorrow, before class.

What do you do when you have stuff to do, but have prioritized it away?

Sexy Psych…?

So, my first college class started today (whoopee!), and it was great. So much knowledge! We discusses how sex was(n't) the same thing as love, and how the DSM does or does not define homosexuality (it's not a mental disorder anymore!), and how different socio-economic groups rate differently on standardized intelligence tests.

I'm sooooo loving this!

Also, I got to go to a first-response training type meeting, and I'm sure that will that, I'll brush up on my terminology and treatments. Very cool!

A rather odd thing my mother said when I came in from class: "So, any cuties in your class?"
Mother dearest…that is not at all why I'm going. No…simply no.

So, between those and the poor sleep I got last night, I am so tired…bed, blankets, pillows…here I come!

Double Duty

I got some interesting news today—I have the potential to do some college credits this year, and they'll count for high school, too! I'm looking into the Introductory Psych class at the local college, and I really think I can do it!

Woo hoo!

What's your favourite jump-the-gun moment?
