Say Whaaaat?!?!?

I DID IT! I made an A on my first Micro test... do not ask me how... all I did was read the book and take the practice test... over and over and over. I am so flabbergasted (yes, I said flabbergasted) by the fact that I made an A. Yay Me!!!

And now for chemistry.... well, I didn't quite make an A... actually, I didn't make a B, C, or D either... yes, you are hearing from the terribly humilified owner of an F... how long, you may ask, has it been since I made an F??? Try... freshman year... of HIGHSCHOOL! I was livid... I made a 57! And after he explains how over half the class made below a 50... I felt a little better (not much). Then he reviews the test and tries to make us see that he really doesn't suck as a teacher (even though over half the class doesn't understand the information)... and he tells us that instead of counting 30 questions on the test, it was only going to be 25... then add another 5 points on top of that... so, on the gradebook I have a 73%. Enough to get into nursing school... not happy but bearable. And I have a few more tests to bring it up. PLUS, he's going to give us a makeup... (he must really feel like a bad teacher... lol)

So, a 96% on the test I barely studied for and a 57%(73%) on the test I've been busting my butt for since the first day of classes... who knows where the justice in that. I guess that's all for now. See you all soon!

Do the Hustle!

I am so overwhelmed with everything. This semester is so hard! I don't remember the last time I took such a tough semester. Even when I was in Music History... it was close but at least I was familiar with the subject matter. I feel like I don't get a break. I guess such is life, right?

The family is great. Sophie is crawling around and pulling up on everything. I forgot how un-baby proofed your house can be. lol. Sawyer is doing great too. He got attacked by a bee! But he was okay.

We got a kitty and named her Smudge. She's a cute little girl. Sawyer loves her... especially carrying her around and pulling her and pushing her and throwing her and grabbing her tail... please don't call PETA... we are guarding her from him and she has some safe places where he can't get her. Plus, she loves him and always comes back for more.

Well, that's really all that's going on around here. Lot's of science, kids and cat. If anybody has any ideas about how to study micro please let me know... I'm struggling (ahem... emily. lol)

Talk to you all soon!

I love free stuff!

School is setting me back into a routine and I am so glad about that. Maybe now I can finally get over the chaos that is a new baby and begin to schedule things again. My classes are not as dreadful as I thought they would be but I still am going to have to study my 'you-know-what' off!!! Microbiology is probably going to be pretty fun but I find myself getting afraid of EVERYTHING! Especially since we took swabs today of everything, put them in an incubator and next week we'll look at the nasty microorganisms that grow EVERYWHERE! Chemistry is really going to make me use my noggin again. I've kind of set into a "only study the subjects I'm familiar with" routine. So now that I've totally changed my plans around my routine is ... (for lack of a better word) SCREWED!

On another note, I found a website that gives you free jewelry. I know, you're thinking I'm crazy but it's true. http://www.silverjewelry.com/. It's nice. I ordered a pendant and chain so I'll let you know if it's rinky dink when I get it. I don't wear much jewelry but I still like to buy it.

I think I've talked Blake into getting a cat. I don't know why but lately I've wanted one so I looked in the paper yesterday and I need to call about some kittens. If any of you guys have any or know of someone who does... let me know.

I guess that's really all. I just wanted to update.

Sophie started crawling and pulling up into Sawyer's lap. It's hilarious. Here's a picture. I don't know why her nose looks funny but it's always a wierd color in pictures. I hope she grows out of it.
