Today was the first day of finals, and they were all relatively easy. I just hope that this means that I got a good grade on them! I'm not worried about any of them except for Physics. Speaking of which, I am quite sad that this class is over. It has had the best teacher and a fantastic class, and it has also been the most challenging and most motivating of any class I have ever had before! Mr. Scharlau is the best teacher that I have ever had and I will really miss him. I wish I wanted to go into something with Chemistry or was better at it so that I could justify taking his AP Chemistry class, but I'm not any of those things, which means that I most likely will not be taking his class ever again.
Tom has been more than helpful during my studying for the Physics final. We studied together last night and this morning. I was surprised at how patient he was and how effective it was to study with him.
But I'm a little bit scared... Roscoe (his dog) isn't doing very well at all. I, knowing nothing about dogs, do not know if the problems that Roscoe is having are quite serious. What I do know is that when an older dog cannot stand without an increasing amount of difficulty that things are a little more serious. But he is a strong dog and he has arthritis, so it may just be the cold weather? I really hope so. I know that Roscoe and I have never really, and still do not, get a long very well, but I wouldn't want anything to ever happen to him. I know how important he is to their family, especially to Tom, and I hate to see anyone's pet, especially someone to whom I am so close, be in pain.
During our studying this morning, I inquired about Roscoe to Tom, and immediately after I finished asking him, Tom just said "Shut up." I think that he doesn't want to let on about how close he is to Roscoe. I also think that he wishes that he could make him better. It's really heart wrenching to watch Roscoe and then watch Tom. :( I think the only thing that I can do is to hope and pray for Roscoe...
On a happier note from everything else that I have said so far, it's almost Friday, and I am excited for the weekend. I have no homework, I only work one shift between now and Tuesday, I get my bangs cut (ha ha, nerdy, yes, but MUCH NEEDED!) and best of all, I am hanging out with Tom tomorrow :)
