So life. Has been stressful lately. I have so many things due in the next 2.5 weeks before Thanksgiving, it isn't even funny. 3 exams, 2 paper drafts, a bunch of quizzes and write ups... I know I am probably being a baby about it all. But I just haven't tried this hard in school in a long time. And it feels good because I really am doing well, for the most part. I almost have all As. Hydrology might be a B as of right now... But Ornithology is an easy A, provided I don't screw up my field project/notebook. Forestry was iffy, but I Aced the midterm so I am pretty sure I can pull off an A for the class. Chem lab has been easy, since I actually go and pass everything in lol. Field Bot is finally 80% over and I am pretty sure I escaped with a B+/A- average so far. The second half I hear is easy. And Journalism is a Gen Ed... and easy.
But still. I can't get cocky and I can't just let stuff slide. And I still have trouble focusing and getting things done (particularly papers) but now I actually care. Caring about school makes it so much crazier lol. But I am freakin determined to pull my GPA up.
Also today was stressful especially because my car got towed last night and now I have to pay for a parking permit AND that. I am a dumbass... So much for beating the system XD But thankgod I have awesome roommates and an awesome mom. Plus the lady at coffee connection gave me free coffee. And Wendy brought me dinner. And Laura tried to cheer me up all day. Basically the women in my life are fucking awesome and I would be a complete mess without them ha. I don't know if this is good/bad/neither but whatever. I love women.
I also went for a walk in the woods today. And it was really peaceful and just what I needed. That sounds... corny. But I've just been kinda reconnecting with the natural world this semester and have a newfound appreciation for being outside. Or rather, it's renewed. And I realized how easily distracted I/most of us are from it. Lately I've been thinking "Hm, what do I do for fun? What are my hobbies?" And I just feel like I'm on the computer way too much or inside too much. Guess this is a bad time to realize it because it is almost winter lol. But I dunno.
Those are my random thoughts for the day.
