life and pretty paper

say it with me now....

ahhhhh......

I took my exam this morning.  I'm so glad it's over and I'm so glad I finished the test.  It took the whole five hours, I thought I would get done with a little time to go back over some questions I didn't answer but I barely had time to do that.  I just picked an answer and hoped for the best. 

There where five of us taking the exam and I think only two maybe three finished, including me.  They kept drilling it into us that we only had 2 minutes per question in my exam prep class so I kept my eye on the clock to make sure I was doing good on time, but when they said we had 30 minutes left I panicked because I knew I needed to go back and finish some questions.  So now all I have to do is wait for my results and see if I passed.  Good thing the examination fee has a retake included in it.

no more pencils, no more books...

no more teachers dirty looks!  WOHOOO!!!

I am officially done with school, took my last final today and I am so glad!

Tomorrow I have and interview for and externship and I'm hoping it will turn into a full time job.  So it's back to the real world I go.

But I still have my Coding Exam to take next month so I'll be studying for that, most likely up until the very last minute.

YEAH! I'm done with school!!

study, study, study...

I've said it before and I'll say it again as soon as I finish one thing for school I've got something else due.  This time it's test, two days in a row.  I don't really like this accelerated class thing everything goes by quickly and I feel like I can barely catch my breath before I'm on to the next.  And I just found out from a classmate that my test tomorrow morning is short answer, at least with multiple choice the answer is in front of me I just have to find it.  But now I have to actually know the stuff.

It's 11pm and I'm just sitting down to really study for this test.  But I'm getting tired and I don't want to.  Oh well...time to hit the books.

I guess I should up date this thing..

Let's see what's going on in my world...

School

Next round of classes getting ready to start.  I have a computer class that starts this Friday and from what I understand after the first two classes you can go at your own pace, which means I'm going to try and spend some extra time in the computer lab and get it done early.  Then I have two more classes that start at the end of the month.

I made changes to my schedule and added two more classes this semester so I'll be done faster.  After this semester I'll have one class to take.

And since new classes are about to begin that means the ones I'm taking now are about to end which means finals time. Yuck!  Once again Medical Terminology is stressing me out.  Actually should be finishing up a paper right now but I have writers block and thought blogging would help me out. 

Also found textbooks for cheap on line and hoping they come in on time.  Need one of them by the end of this week.

Knitting

Finished up my first scarf a few weeks ago.

Now I'm working on another one but I'm getting bored with it and want to move on to the next project.  I found a cute purse pattern and think that will be my next project.

I watch Knitty Gritty everyday.  LOVE that show, it's helped me out a few times since I get to see someone actually do the knitting besides looking at a picture in the book.  Took me a few days to get the pearl stitch right. 

I've been taking Buster to the park almost everyday.  I try and take him midday since the rumor is that Animal Control is out in the mornings making sure people have their dog on a leash and don't let them swim in the water.  And since I do both of those things I would rather not get a ticket.  And yes I did have to get him out of the water one day because he couldn't jump up onto a high ledge and wouldn't swim down a little further to get out. 

I got to spend time with an on line friend and her family last night,  Wendy is in town for a few days and I went to have dinner with her last night. 

Other than that same old thing day in and day out.  Haven't scrapped in a long time, need to clean off my desk and get something done.  Also need to start thinking about Christmas presents, since money is low these day I better start putting my crafting skills to good use. 

every time I turn around...

First off let me just say I'm so happy to have good Internet service again.  It's been horrible for the past month and after the last two weeks of dealing with the cable company we finally figured out it was the modem that was the real problem.  But you would think that the first guy that came out would have noticed that that was the problem.  Anyhow...

School is going...well it's just going.  I swear every time I turn around something in due or I have a test to study for and take.  And because the classes are accelerated everything comes at you much quicker.  This week I had a 200 question (200!) midterm on Tuesday, with other assignments in that class due.  Friday I have a final exam for a class that only lasted a month, also have a paper due and some assignments due the same day.  Then on Monday I have a quiz in another class.  Which I will be studying for over the next 5 days.  And I have a paper I need to write, not due for another two weeks but I need the instructor to go over it before I turn it in for real. 

The only nice thing is I have my afternoons free so I've been taking Buster to the park when it's just about deserted and let him run around.  He loves to chase after the ducks then thinks he can go after them in the water.  He jumps in swims out a little then figures he can't make it to them and tries to swim back.  I have a feeling one day I'm going to have to go in and get him out because he looks a little pathetic trying to swim. 

In fact I think that's what we'll go and do now, need to remember to take the camera with me.

my reality

This is what I do right now, study.  Medical Terminology is kicking my butt right now and I have a quiz on Wednesday over the first five chapters.  That's not a quiz that's a freaking test!  Remind me why I'm doing this again.

Today, I'm taking a break.  I'm continuing my never ending quest to clean up the scrapbook room.  I'm doing good though you can actually see the floor and it's been swept.  How much cat hair can accumulate in a corner and I swear every time I go back to the same corner there's more cat hair there.  So now it's time to clean off the desk and put away a big stack of pattern papers.  Hopefully I'll have pictures by the end of the day.  I might even do a scrapbook page today, *gasp*!
