Just remember: This too shall pass. (I know from experience.)
I dunno, maybe it was just fluctuations in hormone levels, but last week really sucked, but this week is much better. I like to think that it's just that all sucky things go away eventually.
So I had a program due Wednesday, which is always a toughie. Then Thursday I had a math test due, a sociology project due, an English paper due, and Shakespeare lines to recite. Not surprisingly, there was much stress. But I could handle that, the kicker was that night. I had two Spanish labs due that Friday morning, but they didn't get done that night. First of all, I'm taking Calc III this semester, not exactly a fluff course. I realized that night that Calc III was not needed for my Computer Science major. So why the freak was I taking this course??? I'm not gonna drop it, I mean, I like it and all, but at the same time, I was thinking, "I could be taking something that actually helps me graduate." Then I went ahead and started working on my course schedule for the rest of my college time. You know how some classes are only offered like in fall of even numbered years? Well with that and prerequisites and stuff, it didn't look like I was going to be able to graduate in four years. And I flipped out with that. In the midst of all this, I find out that my grandfather has lung cancer and had already gone through surgery for it before I had even heard about it. I forgot about my Spanish labs and went to bed.
I talked to my Spanish teacher Friday and she said I could hand in my labs that afternoon, which I did, praise God. But then that night was "boys suck" night and that upset me too.
On Saturday that sun was waking me up before I wanted to woken. I was like, "I've had a hard few days, go away and let me sleep!!!" Eventually I got up and went to lunch, only to find out that for "family day", they decided to set up lunch all the way down the main drive. And I was still cranky from the previous drama.
I guess things started looking up that afternoon. I watched a fabulous (and fabulously sad) movie, and cleaned my room up a bit. Sunday was very productive: not only did I get a lot of sleep, I got 2+ weeks worth of laundry done.
So remember, things get better.
I did some tweaking to my schedule and discovered that I could indeed graduate in four years. It'll be pretty tight and there are some Gen. Ed. requirements that I'm not sure about, but I think I'll be fine. Plus, freaking out about that stuff inspired me to go ahead and declare my major so I can get an adviser who knows what he's doing.
That supposedly vain Calc III? With my CS major requirements, plus Calc III, I now have a math minor.
My grandfather is doing fine, I think he's back at home now. (I think.) Plus, we're planning to go to Louisiana for Thanksgiving! So I'll get to see him and all my other family that I usually only get to see once a year again.
And boys do suck sometimes. But I have to remind myself that I don't make friends with constant jerks. Isolated spasms of suckiness can be forgiven.
So yeah. Feeling much better this week. I feel very productive, I love it.
I think Michelle's moving in with me! That'll be cool. And fall break is coming up, and Michelle's making a home with me then too. I hope for homework completion and video game playing.
