1st Test Grades

I came out with a 44/50 on my Devp Psych Test (aka an 88) If I would have made a 45 I would have had an A!! Dang-it! The class average was a 39/50, so I guess I did pretty good considering.

I GOT A 96 ON MY FRENCH TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently not many did well b/c she mentioned the drop date for the class when she was handing the test back... :P I got a 10 on Wednesdays quiz. Todays was probably not so great- I had a pretty hard time studying and kinda gave up on it after I talked to my Daddy though.

My genetics test is Monday. I told my teacher about my Uncle and she said to email her and we would work something out.

Haven't gotten my play back yet.

Stressful Week of School

My French test was Monday. Still don't know those results. I confirmed my teacher hates me today. I'll have to email and ask whats up on this on. She marked a half point off my homework for something she announced to the class that EVERYBODY did and she did NOT take off points for. This has happened more than once. I'm certainly going to ask why I had points taken off!
I turned in my play yesterday- I feel pretty confident it was good. I ended up doing "Fighting With Time" as my topic.
I had a French quiz this morning. I don't think I missed any.
I had my 1st developmental psych test this afternoon. He scared us thinking it was going to be horrible, but turns out it wasn't half bad. I know I missed a few, and there were only 50 questions- so hopefully I didn't do to bad.
I have a quiz tomorrow morning and one Friday morning. It's been a heck of a week. My 1st Genetics test is Monday (and I am SCARED TO DEATH on it!!!) Looks like another weekend hitting the books :(
I think I *might* have taken on a little much for my 1st semester back. Esp since I want all A's.

4 hours to long

Been sitting in the same chair at the same table in front of the same computer, for 4 hours. I'm working on my play. I think it's dumb. It's 7 pages long thus far. Here are a few beach pictures. I needed a break. I'll probably be uploading beach pictures til Christmas.

Tropical Storms In Arkansas

"Hurricanes and Tropical Storms are rare in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley you have to go back into the 60s to find that last storms that affected our area with high wind and rain. In fact, over the last 134 years only 8 storms have tracked into our area, the most recent...Gustav just a few weeks ago." -- Garrett Lewis

* I thought this was pretty interesting info. It's midnight & it's pouring hard out there. (And, I'm still studying! 12 hours so far) We did some "storm" precautions in the yard today, just in case. *

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

Happy Birthday Dad!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I've got a 2 chapter French Test Monday, a 10 page play due Tuesday, and a 3 chapter Developmental Psych test Wednesday. I'm neglecting blogger for a few days (depending on how boring my homework gets...)

Have a great weekend!

HELP Me, again...

You realize in my College Career there will be SEVERAL "Help posts". And, I genuinely need your help, just so ya know.

Here's OUR assignment. I/We must write a play. So, why don't you start thinking with me and let's come up with a topic. Hmm, what shall we write about?
I sent out a mass text and got some great replies.
Here's a few possibilities
* A mom, turned college student, who in the midst of it all must still be Mom
* A Crazy Mother-In-Law
* Plastic Surgery, here I was thinking... A girl goes in for boobs and ends up with something else. Something she could go on & on about "big, etc"- adjectives to describe boobs and what she really ends up with. A twist at the end, bam it's a ... (I've actually thought this one over.. haha)
* Depression, perhaps "A Night in the Psych Ward" could be slightly funny
* The day that never ends, everything seems to go wrong. And, when you look back at it later you can't help but laugh. I'd need some major help on this one. Like- you're late, you open the fridge to get your child some milk, and the applesauce falls out & shatters, you lose your keys- but you know where the extra set is, they are just behind the deep freeze where you dropped them last time you had to use them, and your left rear tire is flat, so forget being late- you've already missed appt A, B, & C. But, you'll make it to D 29 minutes late... after a ride in the tow truck to the dealership with some dude that quite obviously hasn't showered in 18 days and was never taught the proper use for deodorant.

We were told that, something we have experienced or a take of something we've been through, or something we enjoy would make the writing experience much more fun. And, yea- someday in 10 years when I'm a Dr, I'll be standing over your bedside having to come up with an Episodic play or you might crash. Can't you see it's relevant to my field of study...?

COMMENT, PLEASE!!!!!

Sick Of Therapy!

I guess there comes a point in all of this chaos that you just get tired of it. I know little Logen must be worn out from the constant 'go', or maybe not- b/c that's what he knows to be the norm. This made much more sense in my head driving down the road this afternoon. I was thinking, among the hustle and bustle of trying to find Logen 'private-after-school' therapy, sometimes we all just need a break. Lets all just take off and go somewhere for a month. And, not have regression, or whatever you call the time periods where no therapy is performed and your child just kinda plateau's and doesn't necessarily go backwards, he just may not make leaps and bounds forward during that time frame.
I know somebody else out there is feeling the same. I can't be the only one of there ;) I should take some time off... so I wouldn't have that list of appt's we need to make or offices I need to call to get something sent here or there, or maybe that script I requested Friday still hasn't been picked up from the ped b/c I haven't been available to do so during 'normal business hours'. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Logen and I wouldn't trade him for anything!!!! He's a busy little guy, and I honestly think if we stopped therapy, he'd go crazy. B/c, thats what he knows. And, really- I think I would to. Being 'not busy' like we are now would probably make me go stir crazy, and then my house might be spotless and I wouldn't have to have an excuse when you come to my door and I politely say, "Excuse our mess. We kinda live here" :) ... or maybe I shouldn't, but the idea was nice for a moment.

Quicky Update

Logen had a GREAT first day!!! He ate well, participated in all activities w/o raising poo, and didn't cry! I have pictures to share, but am tied up in homework- so hopefully I'll get them posted tomorrow. He was EXHAUSTED. He crashed hard he on the ride home.
Me on the other hand had an incredibly HORRID day. Things just don't seem look up. L's therapy threw another one at me, schedule change. That, of course they didn't ask me about beforehand. And, our previous schedule (last weeks) we could have actually worked with, atleast on 1 of the days.
Say a prayer for us all tomorrow as we go about our day.
Bless you all.
