Winter Quarter Almost Over

So it has been a very long time since I have been on here. I have to say that this has been by far the hardest quarter yet. I truly had no idea I would enjoy psychology so much, but I do. I am rocking through it and loving every second, but Biology is kicking my ass. The sad part is, while we are in class I am the girl that is helping everyone else because I am getting it.... but the exams just blow me out of the water. I feel like my Professor is writing the exams for two possible answers but grading for one. I tried really hard on Friday to sit still and read the questions extra slow, because this exam will make or break me. I have already signed up for 109 again and A&P, but won't know which one until we get this exam back. I worked so hard on this one I am freaking out trying to be patient. UGH hurry hurry... So I did what most college students do after a long hard week of school and an exam, I went out and got drunk lol. It was a good tension reliever and I was hard at work again this morning. I finish some extra credit for Psychology and my quiz for my IT class. I am ready to start the week off strong. Bring on Monday.

Two Weeks in

So I have managed to make it through the first two weeks of classes and guess what I get as a reward? A couple of exams. Yes not one, but two and a quiz. Yep this college life is harder then they make it look on T.V. I guess this is a good, but it doesn't make my weekends all that great. This weekend was one for the books too. Jake and I didn't do much of anything Friday night because he didn't get off work until after 8 and then dinner after 9, who wants to do anything other than crawl into bed lol. Saturday was a little more eventful, the Jeep gears and set up kits were at the house, but one was wrong so we went to town and ordered the right one. A Haunted House was so freaking funny, but when would you take a bunch of little kids to see a rated R movie. There were mothers and fathers covering eyes and ears because of the bad language and humping. Sunday sucked donkey dingdongs, but we finally got through that also. With Monday being a holiday I have gad time to catch up on all of my homework and study for my exams. I have my fingers crossed that all goes well and that I have what it takes. I am currently still looking for a knew L&I dr to over see my claim, but to no luck. Sad Sad Sad day I tell you. My surgery very well might have to wait a couple quarters by the time it will take to get a dr and everything in order, but nothing is going to stop me.

Yay

Well today has been over the moon amazing! I just woke up in a great mood and life was shining on me. I worked out again for the third day in a row. That is a huge + lol and then school went well too. While heading to lunch I got a phone call asking if I wanted to do lunch with Grandma and April so I did. We sat and chatted and chatted. I had so much fun just catching up that I didn't want it to end, but I knew that I needed to get back and go to biology class. While on lunch I received an email that stated I might start getting my time loss payments again. Whoop Whoop!!!! This is some of the best news ever! I can now start to pay off long standing debt and be human again. This is what I have been waiting for for so very long. I knew this was going to be mine year, but I had no idea it was going to start off this great. Thank you Lord!

Post New Years

I know that everyone is just dying to know how my visit with my mom and grandparents went and I am ready to tell you. Jake and I rolled into Anaconda Mt around 3 pm their time and checked into the motel first and for most. Met my mom and Rob for a quick drink before dinner at the house. It was a very beautiful drive and the roads were great. I guess we got lucky with that because both long drives were awesome. I had so much fun hanging out with my family and having all the one on one with Jake that coming back kinda just sucked. That is the truth of it too. After a crying fit and some deep heart speaking and I ended up back in Kittitas on New Years Eve and not in a very good mood. Shortly after I cooled off and was getting ready to head home to bed, Jake showed up and made things a shit ton better. Today was my first day back at YVCC and my fourth quarter. I thought I had all the books that I would need, but I was wrong. Tomorrow I will have to go pick up one more book for Biology and different lab pages. For some reason the lab pages that came with my worksheet packet was the wrong ones. Damn it all to heck, but such is life and I am going to make this quarter a smooth as I possible can. That is my hopes anyways.

After Christmas

Well I made it thru the hussle and the bussle of bad drivers and the stores being over packed. Today is my eldest nephews 20th birthday. I can't believe how fast life can move around you if you sit back too long. I am currently waiting for my fourth quarter to start at YVCC and have to say that I made it with 2 B's and a B+ for the last quarter. I am happy about it and not happy. I was hoping for better but the classes are getting harder and harder. I know this is how life is and I will push thru and be all that I can be lol. The snow is slowly falling outside the front window and my Freedom is sleeping in and I am pretty happy. Right now I know that I am on the right path and no one can take that away from me. I had two very nice Christmas dinners and the best family a girl could wish for. Now to get m trip to Montana figured out and I will end this year on a higher note then expected. Mom keeps telling me that I don't need to drive to see her in this weather, but I told my self I was going to try and make it back there more and more, and By goly I am going to do it. So here is to the new year and all the great things it will bring us!

Registration

Well I finally got to register for my Winter classes. I have to say that this is not the schedule that I wanted but I will deal with the changes with a smile on my face. Like my Grandma always is saying..."Things happen for a reason!" Yes, Yes, Yes I get it. I figure I am not healthy enough (shoulder and arm wise) to take ASL this quarter so instead I am taking Psyc 100 and IT 100. April informed me that I should do great in these classes and that makes me feel better because she has taken a couple of these courses already. Oh I am also in the Biology class that is a prerequisite that I need. Jake and I got to spend way too much time together this Thanksgiving week because he ended up rained out. LOL it was fun and we got to hang out with many of our favorite peep, but three days and three movies was a little too much for me. I got our Christmas cards done and a few of them delivered. I feel so great that my last Chemistry test wasn't as hard as I had been fearing and I am now sitting at a B in that class. YAY. I have been so worried that I wouldn't pass Chemistry that my brain has been on fire.

Thanksgiving

So I am at my house (well Buffalo's) and I am finishing up all my work for next week and hello, I honestly can not believe how fast this year has flown. I have a Chemistry Exam on Monday and an Essay for English due on Tuesday and then I am off for 5 days. I am super lucky to get to spent those days off with Jake. This time around has been so much better than I could imagine. I hope to maybe hit a single store for Black Friday, but not sure if I will be standing out there all by myself or not lol. I am very thankful for my family and friends. There are days when feel like giving up and I happen to hear from one of them and I am instantly better. not sure if I would ever have made it this far without them. I ordered Christmas cards and can not wait for them to get here!!! lol they are pretty darn cute if I do say so myself :-) Well now for the new scary part of life. I have to see a shrink to be released for my surgery before I can be approved. I know this is a good thing and I have to do this, but the timing is not very good. I am worried I will miss a final the day this shrink visit is scheduled. We will have fingers crossed and hope all works out for a reason.
