The 411 from the vibrating WAYNE #9
WAYNE #9 = Sick&Stress land!!!
Wish I could do something to make it allllllll better. You know, stand up to the school system and screw their head a few times around so maybe they'll look at things loogically and say, "what is the point of making extremely difficult deadlines and exams right before and after Thanksgiving "break"...and then finals two weeks thereafter?" I mean does it REALLY make them feel superior or satisfied to make sure the students get the opposite of rest! Perish the thought of giving a chance to get some decent studying for heavy finals in, and heaven forbid an actual break! "Break?! No way...we'll work around that one," they must say. But alas, students don't have the union rights that saved the tortured workers in years past...
But, despite the fact that I have to bring every single book and notebook and then some [and look for some research books I need at our bookstore] home with me, and have more to do ASIDE from studying for finals to keep me busy around hte clock all week, I am more than ready to head back to Ann Arbor land! Yay for seeing my bunny, Cookie, parents, and sisters! Maybe some friends too...a taste of home life...and of course, kicking off some holiday traditions. *peaceful sigh...*
Speaking of being on edge, my "sorry syndrome" infection has taken hold again lately. You know how it's soooooo annoying when someone is so self conscious they're apologizing for everything and your like "good grief just LIVE!" Well I tend to do just that...and it was really getting a friend who was the same way [in high school] that taught me what a bother that could be. However, as I get stressed, insecure, and worried about things I do stuff I feel bad about, apologize, then feel like I need to say sorry for saying sorry! It's like ahhhh if only we could hit rewind and just redo stuff so we didn't do it in the first place. In any case, time to turn OFF the sorry bug and just try and stay on top of thing for once so I stop putting my foot in my mouth or funkydallying it up too obnoxiously!
The craziest things happened with my nutrition prof! [You know, the ex-probation guy who refuses to meet with students, tricks you up on purpose so it doesn't matter HOW much you know you're screwed no matter what, and just in general is the epitomy of "out to get you" with average failing grades on the exams...] So I was going through the answer key for some exams I was using to study, and I was really confused about a couple of the answers. They just didn't line up. So I asked him about it despite his refusal to respond to previous questions inside or outside of class [or even during his office hour downtown!], and it turned out he had messed up on two of the answers [typo or something I guess]. So up on blackboard appears the "correction." Well, one of the answers STILL didn't make sense [even the knew answer] so I emailed him and was like "but isn't htis the only blah-blah, etc." and sure enough he changed it AGAIN!!! Anyhow, no biggie, but slightly amusing, considering the circumstances.
Speaking of stuff not making sense, anatomy's getting worse that way again. And to think I have all this new crap to learn on top of all the old stuff to remember and relearn. And a double final there. Plus the lab...and I thought the lab practical was bad...now this is going to be written and over EVERYTHING. It's virtually impossible to study for most of it too...or at least what you do study out of the book and notes doesn't help a whole lot with the actual organs and tissues and slides... :(
Don't even know where to begin in whining about honors. Can't seem to crack this huge research paper, and now the two final papers to do on top of that...if only writing for that class meant applying rational thinking and writing [which I LIKE to do in comparison to most school work--usually!]...if only there was somewhere to start and go...bleck.
Might as well vent about nutrition while I'm at it. Hate having an exam 50% old material that is so detailed I have to study for three exams in one because you never know what he could pull there...then 50% the new stuff and everything else he crams in but doesn't cover cuz we don't have time. Plus dealing with the whole "trick you up" aspect.
Movement science? Good prof...but HARSH grading. Definitely in worse jeoprody with my grade there than with anatomy right now! Not to mention my group project which hasn't been much group effort so far [only seen the one guy in class once].
Alright, enough whining! Time to count my blessings! :-D
~Heat seems to be working better. I don't freeze in the apartment.
~Sore throat is SLIGHTLY better...can almost taste correctly and I don't feel so feverish.
~Got asked on two dates this weekend. Not ones I would actually go on...but made me feel special nonetheless.
~One of my best friends told me how much I amaze him and mean to him last night...again, made me feel extremely special, especially since I value him a lot as a person and a friend.
~Gained another pound. Now officially up 5 since the start of the year, and though it may not be "much" I can see the muscle tone and I am definitely getting stronger!
~Britt joined me for cross training today--what a riot!
~Found Christmas music on the radio. Kinda fuzzy, but it works. ;)
~Actually SLEPT in today. Like, not tossing and turning from 7-10am...actually fell asleep around 9 and woke up after 11! Holy moly, kind of a panic since there was stuff I was supposed to get up and do...but after a restless weekend and sleepless week I'm sure those two hours did me good. :)
~Christmas season is in the air!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
...and a random quiz, of course:
Your Eyes Should Be Brown
Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom
What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart
