Where Did February Go???

Tomorrow's March! So weird! And my birthday is in 4 days! Also weird!

Anyway, woke up way too early for my wants (yet it wasn't early enough, as I was rushing to get ready for church). Church was good. Then I came home, read a message from algebra prof about some problems I was struggling with, and thus tackled them. Or, at least, tried to. Unfortunately the word problems are kicking my butt big time. But all I can say is THANK GOD my algebra prof is so helpful. I'd be dead otherwise. Then I went to work. HECTIC NON-STOP. I know I shouldn't complain, but I was exhausted and I wanted to cry, yell, or throw something. But thankfully, I didn't do either of those things. Went to Small Group, it was good, and I got some info on the Kenya trip!!! Now there's no guarantee that I'm going, because there's an application that I need to fill out and I need to raise a LOT of money. Oh yeah, and praying about it would probably be important, too. But still, I'm excited, and I really want to go. I can't really explain WHY I want to go (besides the fact that the trip is in Africa), I just....do. Hard to explain.

Need to sleep. Both dreading and looking forward to school, very odd. Good night!

Productive Yet Lazy Day

I know, it sounds like an oxymoron. Anyway, the explanation is I goofed off a little bit and didn't get as much done as I could've (always the case). BUT everything that NEEDS to be done this weekend is now done. Hence my productive yet lazy day. So that helps with the school stress.

Anyway, right now I am already freaking out about scheduling stuff for next semester. And kind of panicked about money for college (and normally I don't do that. Ever). And I'm dreading work tomorrow. What brought all those things on? The answer to the last two: I have no idea. The first was brought on when I looked at Trinity's schedules. I had hoped, should I go there, to graduate by May 2013, but I don't know if that would happen based on necessary class availability and stuff. So that means I would spend four years there instead of three and in that case, going to CLC was a waste because the whole point of going to CLC was to reduce my time at a four year school to cut costs.... See what I mean? I'm worried about this, which is so ridiculous, cause I don't even know whether I'm going to go there! Aaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.

I'm tired.

I am Tired, Therefore I Lack Creativity

I need to update these things earlier. Anyway, went to dentist, found out that I have my first cavity ever (well, with my adult teeth, that is), which SUCKS. I'm already dreading the novocaine and filling and stuff.... Grrr, perfect record gone. Down the drain. Did homework, went to work, saw a friend at Panera. That was a good night. The rest of the day was just homework.

"So, If You're From Africa... Why Are You White?"

The above quote is from the movie "Mean Girls". Very funny movie, if I say so myself. And today was apparently "National Mean Girls Status Day", where you set your Facebook status to a quote from the movie. Anyway, interesting.

Kind of a boring day, just homework and stuff (and even then, it wasn't all productive). I'm not feeling good, so I need to rest. I REALLY hope this is just exhaustion rather than illness.

I Hate Winter

I really do. It's so bad. I can't wait for Spring. And once again, I'm too tired. But my day was fine, got a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's (though I drank it too fast!). Not much else.

Happy IHOP Pancake Day 2010!

Of course, I didn't GO to IHOP, but who cares? Maybe next year.... Or some year. Also found out this month was Library Lovers Month. I work in a library, how could I have missed this???

Anyway, boring day of homework and stuff. Algebra and Geometry are both attempting to kick my butt. Work was fine. I need to sleep.

My Math Skills Suck

So, I didn't get a great grade on my Geometry test and I only got a 9/10 on my Algebra quiz. That's the third 9/10 in a row, and I could have gotten a perfect score if it weren't for a stupid mistake. And I hate factoring. Yeah, I just hate it, unfortunately we'll be doing it for most of the semester. Why can't my brain just do it so easily? And I got confused by a number of problems that we did in class. My teacher was very nice about it and helped me out, but I still wish this stuff came easy to me. Don't get me started with memorizing formulas and definitions. Grrrrr.... So yeah, today was not a good math day. And it shows that while my algebra CLASS is good (and goes by real fast!), the SUBJECT isn't that great. *sigh*

Other than that, nothing eventful. I'm bone tired, so sorry, no Urbana stories, I'll TRY to start up again tomorrow or day after that.
