Dear god, sorry about the last entry. Didn't realize how depressing it was until just now. Wow.
Ok, so...[It is very difficult to type while eating turkey soup so bear with me please]
Yesterday:
-Took the 8:10 train. Nice change - not crowded and I got to see my friend Frima from my old school. THis was sort of bad though because I had been counting on studying on the train so I eventually had to apologize and politely shut her up.
-Collect gave us food. I love Collect. So much.
-Math exam: good. Nothing too awful. Don't really know how I did but I'm positive that I got about 80% of those problems right. I'm sure I made some stupid mistakes, knowing me, but it was good on the whole. Which is a good thing, since the exam counts for a third of your grade. EEK!
-Out to lunch except I only got a smoothie so that doesn't really count as lunch. May not have been a smart idea considering the fact that I was already freezing cold, but oh well. It was good anyway.
-Mom picked me up from school and drove me and Kate home.
-Tried to study and really couldn't focus.
-Finally got some spanish vocab done and went to bed feeling happy, but not before I had some fun CROSS STITCHING!! WOOHOO! (I'm such a little boonies dork - but honestly, it's so much fun).
Today:
-Woke up late-ish (considering I have to do all my studying for english and chem today)
-Walked/fed the dogs, ate breakfast, etc. Some how managed to waste the entire morning.
-Started really studying around 11:00 and amazingly enough I was actually able to get some stuff done. So I've read through my chem notes once and done the problems that we did in class on my own to make sure I know what to do and I've relearned about 100 spanish vocab words.
-Finally lost my concentration and decided lunch would be a good idea and now I'm here on the Internet.
I'm very proud of myself for not stressing at all about exams, but at the same time it's sort of bad because it means that I can barely make myself study. I don't know...it's just that once I learn something and understand it, all I need to do is refresh my memory and after that I just can NOT make myself study it. It's a very tricky situation. I don't know whether to trust my extremely bored brain which is telling me don't waste you're time studying or to just make myself study more anyway. Ah well, I'll find a happy medium.
THings like spanish are ok. I do fine with vocab, but like chem? I've read through my notes about a total of three times now and I feel done.
So on a non-exam topic: my sister Melanie and her friend Heather are coming for Xmas and originally Kelsy (my niece, her daughter) was going to be staying with her dad (who lives in JP) the whole time, but now she's apparently coming to our house for christmas eve and christmas day. Oh G.O.D. Let me explain: while I love Kelsy to death and she's absolutely adorable, SHE'S AN INSANE HYPER ACTIVE 4 YEAR OLD MANIAC!!!! I mean she's really cute but she just talks talks talks talks talks talks talks talks talks and runs around and....it's going to be interesting. I actually haven't seen her for a year in a half, so maybe she's calmed down, but I highly doubt it.
Now I'm going to type up all our funny chem class quotes and send them out to people.
Don't stress!!
