It's a Miracle!

Yay, I just got my last assignment grade for my psych class. I got a 100!!!! WhOoPiE!! Now, if I get an 85 on my next test, I should have my "A" in the class and I won't have to take the final. WHHOOOOO HOOOO!!! I can't celebrate yet though, it's not over.


One more week of this. One test. One final, maybe two finals. One nursing entrance exam.

Nonni and Papa are painting the nursery right now. They are doing the ceiling and the walls. The green looks a little brighter on the can than I had anticipated. Hopefully, it won't turn into a bright green nightmare! We'll see. I'll paint the stripes after I make it through this crazy, brain-buster week!!! Back to reading about psychological disorders!!

How will I EVER Manage!

So, I am to the point where people are asking me when I'm due, so I take that to mean I look due any day! I feel silly when I say August, but probably July and then explain it's twins.

As I am walking to my Micro class (it was the last one *clapping*) this women goes on to ask if they are my first and I say no, I have a two year old. Then she was like, "OH!" She proceeds to tell me a story (and we all know people have one to share and it's usually about how hard it's going to be...fine by me) about her good friend that was a successful, very well put together lawyer who had a two year old and then twins. She waited a few weeks before visiting her friend, so the friend could adjust. When she went to visit her very composed lawyer friend, she was a "train wreck." She said her friend was a mess and was asking her if she was there to help.

I can't imagine what this woman thought of me handling my kids. Obviously I am not a LAWYER, so I guess if the very well put together lawyer couldn't handle it, then I am really screwed because she probably perceived me as a college student. Get my meds ready! LOL, I had to laugh!

For my birthday, I would like this:

Ok I get it, someone's going to be crying, hungry or dirty and my house is going to be a disaster! Life will go on!!! :) But they will all be loved! How will I ever do it? ROFL!

I'm Scattered

OK, so I should be studying for my Micro test that is tomorrow, but I'm unfocused. I have regressed to 80's music. In addition to my recent George Michael obsession, I am adding Boy George and ABC. What's happening to me? I think I will do a weekly video. Here's the video this week (Look of Love by ABC):



My Psych professor finally graded my second homework. Since she decided my first homework was equivalent to "B" work, I upped the ante a bit. Her homework (busywork) consists of ten questions and for all you must define and give examples. But, usually each question will have multiple parts. I spent about five our six hours doing the first one and THOUGHT I was pretty thorough. I guess not, since I earned a B. My first homework consisted of 1,200 words. Well, since I could not afford a B on my second homework, I spent about 10 hours on it and wrote 2,800 words. Yes, that's easily a term paper, plus some. I got my grade back last night and what do you know, she gave me a 100. Good lord, her expectation for beginning Psych is a bit over the top. So, I need an 88 on the next test and 30/33 on the homework and I should have my A. YAY!

It occurred to me during my dinner tonight I have not run since mid-November. I miss running. I'm ready to get out there and log some miles. David started back to running this week. He went to log his mileage at the coolrunning website and our logs were gone. I have many miles on my log; I can't afford to lose it! Luckily, some computer savvy person posted how to retrieve it. Since 2001, I have logged 2,822 running miles, 2,997 biking miles, 70 swimming miles and some other workouts. That's cool. Luckily, the log was salvaged!

Onto some baby news! I SAW the babies kick today. They are getting stronger and movements are bigger. It's a real treat when they are both moving around! I can't believe I am almost 25 weeks. Third trimester, here I come!!!

I only have 11 more days of actual teaching in my teaching career. May 8th is the last day of teaching for me! WOW!!! The last day of work isn't until June 3rd though.

OK, must resume studying!! Only 4 more days of class!!

Feeling Scholarly Today

Today I took my second Psychology test and I made a 91!!! I am sooo happy about that. On my first test I scored an 88.66. So with my test grades, I have an A average which is the whole point to taking this course. The homework assignments are another issue though. It takes me HOURS to complete them, and on my first one I made an 85. Hopefully with my next one, I can bring up this average. I would rather write a research paper, than contend with this homework. It's like busy work and it doesn't help me to learn the material any more than studying does. I can't stand it. In any case, I have signed up for Developmental Psych which will be a three week mini-mester course in May (just in case I get a B in my current psych class).

In Micro, I am hovering at a 90. It might be my first B since starting this journey last June, but it's Micro and I can live with that. I can't however live with a B in Psych.
