sick

I’m sick.  Again.  I just got over an illness about 3 weeks ago and now I have the same thing again.  I do have to say, though, that being sick is the best diet.  The only thing I’ve eaten today was at an NAPM meeting this evening downtown, where I ate a teeny salad, some mashed potatoes and a tiny little piece of sausage.  But I got Extra Credit for attending.  Yay Extra Credit.  I had to pay for it this time, but at least I’ll get points and won’t fail my operations class (I got a C+ on my test in the class last week.  Not bad considering I really didn’t study for it!).

And now my Nyquil is kicking in, so hopefully I’ll sleep better than I did last night.  Last night everything woke me up!  The light that is outside my window every night kept me awake last night.  I was too hot, then too cold.  My nose wouldn’t stop running, even though today it was so stuffy I couldn’t breathe at all.

Maybe I should have listened to J and taken a double shot of Jack.  Like he said, I might not feel much better, but at least I’d be drunk!

never say never

I know this is supposed to be a blog about being a non-traditional student, but there are times when a girl just needs to vent about things other than school or work. This happens to be one of those times….

Did you ever have one of those days (couple of days, a weekend) that you wish had never happened (because it sucked) and simultaneously wish could repeat over and over again (because it was great)? I have. I’m just getting past one. It sucks.

I wish I had never opened my big mouth because look where it got me. But it was so good at the time and things that needed to be said years ago were said. But if they had been said years ago….. I don’t even like to think about it.

I’m a sucker for living in the moment and it gets me in trouble a lot of the time. It got me in trouble this time. Except, for once, the only person I am in trouble with is myself. It isn’t a good feeling, being in trouble with yourself. How do you get out of trouble when you’re in trouble with yourself? Myself hurts.

I don’t know what to do…..

(*Disclaimer* I’m sorry if this makes no sense to anyone. It kind of isn’t supposed to.  This is just me getting random stupid thoughts out of my head and onto something that I can see.)

test

I have a test today. In my operations class. Did I study for it? Nope. I wonder how I’ll do?

I really needed to study for this test. I am not doing so well in the class (largely due to the not studying for the last test) and I have missed ample extra credit opportunities thus far. I think some part of my mind wants me to fail. I don’t know why this would be, but it feels true.

It doesn’t help that I was surprised with a test on Monday when I got back from spring break. Who schedules a test for the first day back from spring break? On St. Patrick’s Day? My criminal justice professor, that’s who. Now I have to do a ride along with a police officer to earn extra credit. I am at once very excited and extremely terrified at the idea of a ride along. What if something happens? Scary! Then again, what if something happens? Exciting!!

And to make the day even better, I am wearing uncomfortable shoes.  This always makes for a bad day.  Stupid new shoes.  But, I am attending an etiquette dinner this evening (free food!!) which happens to take place immediately following my last class.  This means professional dress, hence uncomfortable shoes.  I get to wear uncomfortable shoes again tomorrow, for some kind of operations speakers forum thing.  Extra Credit!  I need this.  Plus, I get to leave work for a couple of hours to attend Extra Credit.  Bonus!

Only 48 (or something close to that) days left till the end of the semester.  Thanks to J. for keeping track for me!  I’m so ready for this semester to be over with.

st. patrick’s day

It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I forgot to wear green!  I better be prepared for lots of pinches!
