What day is it?
Well this would be the second time today that I have tried to post this so we shall see!
I have got to quit burning the candle so bright at both ends... I am so tired.
I studied, and studied, and studied some more for my my statistics test. I stayed up until 0315 studying on Wednesday night, set my alarm, actually set both of my alarms, and never heard either of them go off. My boss called me at 0845 to ask if I was coming to work today. That was yesterday. I got there an hour and 45 minutes late. Ouch... so that was the start of my day...
My class in statistics is approximately 200 people, and only about 50 of them have bothered showing up for lecture as of lately. So the teacher decided to make the test harder. I don't think this is very fair, becuase he punishes those of us who come to class as well. I studied for close to 30 some odd hours, and there were problems on there that I had no IDEA what he was asking for... I think he should do something a little more civil, like adding an attendance grade. Tell the class that you are going to take attendance a total of 5 times in the next several weeks, at 5 points a pop. This is part of our grade, not a bonus, 20 points would hurt if you don't show up, but would help if you were there... Then he punishes the people that dont show, and rewards those who do. WITHOUT killing us with the test (which right now is the only thing that constitutes our grade. ) I don't think I failed, but there is no way in hell I made an A. Lets ask the 8 ball shall we?
Then there were two questions on the test that had to do with gay/lesbian topics. In a test that only has 9 questions that is a high percentage. And it really had nothing to do with the types of problems we were supposed to be doing. We get it, you are a staunch supporter in gay and lesbian pride. Not please lets get back to learning health and psychology major based statistics II.
I spent so much time studying for statistics that I am behind on psych. I have two and a half chapters still to read, and all three quizzes to take. Then I have that test on Monday.... How did I get so far behind?
In good school news, I got a 90 on my paper. I am not sure why it was such a low A, I wrote one hell of a paper, I have a feeling it was on of the TA's that graded it, and they don't really know what the hell they are doing.
After the test, I resisted the urge to head to the bell tower, and went to walmart instead to buy my snorkle for tomorrow. I am not looking foward to seeing the hairy ass crack of dawn, (I have to be at the school, at the building at 0700.) but once I get over the whole morning thing, I think it will be a fun class. We are heading over to Cedar Key to visit the mud flats to collect some specimens, then out on UF's vessel, Discovery, and then to SeaHorse Island to the marine biology lab there (Yes, UF owns the island) I think it should be a fun filled day of adventure, and I wish that I had a better camera than just my cell phone... I have got to get a digital camera!
I went to A's last night. I was in a terrible mood when I got there, as I had hardly in sleep in 48 hours, nothing to eat in 30 hours, and was terribly mad at myself for not doing better on that test. He was patient with me, and my bad mood. He promptly took me to waffle house for a BLT, and we rented Bewitched. A very good movie, one I may just have to add to my personal dvd collection! He was very sweet, and I ended up leaving in a much better mood than I started the evening in. I was in bed by 2245. It was nice to sleep.

So, Saturday, I will be on the water, hopefully it will be warmer by then! For as much fun as this class is going to be, I will be missing my Gator Football. Had I thought this through a little more carefully, I probably would not have signed up... LOL! Saturday night A is coming over I think. It should be another nice relaxing evening in. I may help him with his blogskin, or maybe we could just play some PS2.... I have not played for real, in such a long long time, I am going through withdraws!
Sunday, I have to finish reading, take those three quizes and study hard enough to ace my test on Monday. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
You want to know what I am doing on Tuesday, (after work and school of couse....) NOTHING! A big huge, fat, lazy, nothing. I am going home, I am going to chill with my Draco, I am going to sleep early, I am going to order pizza, I am going to sit on my front porch.... I am not going to go anywhere, I am not getting online, I am not touching my books, I am not cleaning my house (which needs it so badly.... well by my standards... by normal peoples standards it is still super clean, lol) I am not doing laundry.... I am not doing anything! I might watch tv, or I might just go to bed at like 2000. hahahaha! I will finally be able to breath. I have been going steadily since I can remember. I can't wait to do nothing.
