PBJ

This semester has kicked my ass, as can be proven by my lack of attention to this "blog". It's finals week, so surely next week I will have more time on my hands. Who knows maybe I will make a new real post while drunk, as I can already tell that I will be celebrating the end of this week on Friday. For now settle for this, I am trying very hard to study for the four remaining finals I have this week, I took two this morning. This is what is in my head right now.....

I may need help or encouragement with my concentration, as I am slowly losing it....

Let Me Count the Ways to Procrastinate...

There is no greater pleasure in life sometimes than the thought of tomorrow, and putting things off until tomorrow. There are many things I do to procrastinate, for example I sort through my pictures. I have an exam at 8am tomorrow, and of course I am doing my favorite pastime. So here are two random and terrifying in their own ways pictures.

The snow from two weeks ago, my van was buried for days because of this....

This other picture is slightly terrifying and therefor should be allotted tons of space in case you wish to avert your eyes....

I was told to "look crazy", however I look either possessed or on the verge of a killing spree. Luckily I was neither at the time, just enjoyably drunk on my birthday.

My favorite comment from a Facebook friend was "When gingers snap"....

Snow No Mo'

Alright so another round of snow last week caused classes to be cancelled on Thursday and Friday. Thus making my life oh so wonderful this week. Like an idiot I spent much of my 29th birthday on Saturday drinking. My excuse was devastation over the realization that I will not be able to do anything too outrageous or exciting during the final year of my twenties. Being a married college student kind of takes away from that. However unlike my peers I can buy my own beer or now really wine as I have matured or whatever.

So how did the snow ruin my life this week you ask? Well the exams I had for last Thursday and Friday were moved to this week. My drunkenness caused me to not complete a take home exam until tonight. Although that one is solely my fault and not the booze since I decided to partake in the alcohol. Anyway, our store's biggest weekend is this weekend, our local comic con. So aside from prepping for the convention I have six yes SIX exams this week, with two quizzes as the cherry on top. I have completed two of six exams as of today, but I still have a lot of studying in site. Aside from all that fun stuff I still have to maintain my home as I have pets. Pets are messy. Husbands are messy. By this Sunday I will surely be in a zombie state and will most likely take to the alcohol again.

FYI not drinking all that often has brought forth what I can only describe as a two day hangover. The hangover has finally left, but does that happen as you get older or just when you don't drink often enough?

I Might Be a Jerk...

I have a love/hate relationship with my Survey of Popular Music class. I love the subject, we listen to awesome music and learn about musicians and bands. The professor is alright, he uses the word gig too much, but he's alright. Easy tests. This is why I love the class. Here is why I hate the class: It's a gen ed, everyone in there is annoying, and I will end up punching someone. First off almost everyone in there is a freshman, and they ask some of the dumbest questions. It's obvious many of them only enjoy the auto tuned crap today's music industry produces. Aside from the older guy in my class, who thinks he is the shit for being older. He acts all knowing and way to condescending for my taste. I literally talk to no one in this class, there are at least 60+ students.  I sit in the back, which is partially my fault for so much of my frustration. However, it is the best way for me to see the slides and take accurate notes. So I'm pretty much screwed. Everyone around me feels the need to talk and eat loudly. No one takes notes, which the notes are only given in class. There is no going to Blackboard and copying the notes. So in order to ace the class, which is super easy to do, you have to take notes. I receive no greater pleasure than on the days he gives back exams or papers. As this class is super easy, I get A's and 100's on all the assignments. While others around me get C's and D's.

When I hear people complaining about their bad grades and being unable to understand why they did so bad, I just want to shake them and tell them that if they would shut up and pay attention they could be passing this super easy class too. Instead I sit there like the world's biggest jerk with a smug smile on my face, leaving my graded assignments/tests out for those around me to see just how wonderful I am.

Maybe I should see someone about this? But then again, I kind of enjoy it.

I'm about to avada kedavra this paper....

This is me currently...

I spent 30 minutes on this and learned many things. 1.) I have a complicated hair color that cannot be correctly depicted in MS Paint. 2.) I nailed my laptop. Nailed it. 3.) I look like Voldemort. 4.) I have no neck, I am Voldemort without a neck. What kind of Voldemort does that make me?

After completing the masterpiece above, I realize that it looks more like I am praying over my laptop than trying to stay awake while writing a paper for my english class.

I almost thought about nixing the drawing, however I spent 30 minutes on it. It deserves internet shame for it's horribleness.

Eff You Snow

 Bread, milk, and eggs have gone extinct in my state. Everyone is enjoying their egg sandwiches with their glasses of milk. Why is it always eggs, bread, and milk? No cereal? No chicken? Why not veggies and fruit? Or even better canned food. Not food that molds and expires.

end rant

Classes have been cancelled all this week thanks to 12-14" of snow. I cannot wait to see the look of panic on my professors' faces when class resumes.

Oh well, time to enjoy some snow cream; obligatory snow pic below.

Registration...

And so it begins..

Again.

Registration for the Fall 2015 semester starts in a few weeks, so I have begun to think ahead (yet again). In case I haven't mentioned, I am Pre-Occupational Science. What does one do with an Occupational Science degree? Well I'm actually not to sure, as I will be immediately getting a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy. So I honestly have no idea what I would do with my undergraduate degree if I did not get my graduate degree. However, from my understanding my school has one of the more complex programs, also one of the top rated, but pretty complex. I am considered Pre-Occupational Science until I apply for the program and am accepted. In order to apply I must have a high GPA, the lowest accepted this past semester was 3.4 GPA I believe; I currently have a 4.0 GPA. As well you must have 60 GPA credit hours completed or pending completion by the time you apply. You can only apply during the spring semester and must apply by March. There are four core classes you must take and receive a B or higher, and only one of those classes can be repeated if needed. The core classes are: Psychology 200, Statistics 215, Biology 171 (Anatomy), and Biology 301 (Human Physiology).

While I took 13 credit hours last semester, due to my need for a remedial math class, I only had 10 GPA credit hours. This also prevented me from making the Dean's List. This has put me slightly behind. So to make up for this I am taking 18 credit hours this semester (the max without an override) and will be taking 3 credit hours during the summer semester. I have already registered for Anatomy, this way I can focus on one of the harder of my core classes without needing to divide my attention to other classes. I will be able to relax a bit come the fall when I can take just 15 credit hours. This will allow me to have 46 credit hours come the Spring 2016 semester and I will only need to take 14 credit hours worth of classes. Having already mapped out my next two semesters, I will have met almost all of my general education requirements come the time for my spring semester when I apply for my program. I will only need to take one core class that semester and what the university considers a diversity class. Meaning I will have 9 credit hours that I can just play around with in easy fun electives.

While I will be working my ass off this semester, come my next spring semester I will be taking it pretty easy. Just a year away until I am halfway to my degree! At that I have homework to do.
