That Government test on Friday? I got 100%
Woo hoo! I've got my Oceanography test on Friday and other than that I'm done with tests for at least 3 weeks =]
Hoorah for overcoming adversity!

I am so happy this week is done!
Wow...I thought for sure it would take a lot longer than three weeks for me to burn out! I am so very tired of the words "study, quiz, lecture," and "test." Sorry Heather if those quotation marks were unnecessary. I think they are =P
Today though, tops it all off. I failed so hard, it's not even funny. Or at least it wasn't this morning. Last night I decided that I needed a break. I deserved it, believe me, I've been studying all week! So I joined the fella and some friends to see the newest Indiana Jones at FSU for free. Movie gets out, we vote on Rock Band, it gets late, we vote on me NOT going on the bus full of drunk people (thank God), and I spend the night over at James' dorm.
I had it ALL PLANNED OUT. Wake up, catch the bus (skip math, I've taught it to myself already and I feel like I'm getting a cold...I have 3 days that I could skip and I'm taking my first one now.), and get to school in time for Oceanography.
I'll tell you something about these buses folks...they are NOT reliable. I wait...and wait...and guess what? Wait some more. No bus that goes through Pensacola (aka my street). Finally I get on a bus (after my Oceanography class has started mind you!) and have to transfer buses to get back to my place (which takes another half an hour of waiting). I get home, FREAK OUT, take a shower and study my little butt off some more for my Government test.
But you know what? I KNOW (not think or feel or have a hunch-know) that I aced that Government test. And that was the most important part about today.
Over the past seven hours I've gone through every emotion possible I think. But I've finally come to realize, that I made a mistake in my planning, and that happens to everyone. I missed a class (well two but one was on purpose) but I'm not the only college student (let alone college Freshman) to have done that. All that matters is I didn't give up entirely and as a result, I aced my first Government test.
So, I know I'll be getting parental and sororial criticism, and remarks of how irresponsible this all was. But honestly, I'm proud of how today worked out. I had my very first absolutely crappy day of classes, and look how it ended.
Note: this is not to say "hey, it worked out this time. I'm going to do this every week!" I'm just saying, it's not as bad as it could have been.
That is all =]
...and those pictures of the apartment are on the way, but as you've read, I've had a little bit more on my mind than that lately.

Crafty Lady
Alright, trying to do some little crafts in my spare time so I don't go cuckoo bananas over here.
Here's my first attempt at cheap-o crafts! Cardboard coasters =D
Thanks to all of your care packages, I have found myself with an excess of cardboard, and ideas are starting to flow. I've got some other ideas in mind, but here's my first project:
I don't really know why all that is underlined...or how to make it not O_oAaaany-hoo. More to come! I will try to post pics of the apartment by this weekend
<3!
