How true. Sounds like a good deal to me, congrats on the "new" car. *sigh* I just would really like to keep my car for at least two more years. I'll head for the garage tomorrow, see what they suggest.
Today I couldn't go cause I was busy pretending I was writing a paper for school. God, I had already forgotten the first sentnces were the worst. I can't seem to come up with a good opening one.

Ali - Hey back!

I was just told today that there is no way they can fix my car to pass inspection which means bye-bye baby for me, which also makes me really sad. I know it's kinda stupid to get like that over a car - it's just that it's my first car ever, and it went to so many places with me, and I bought it myself, and it was convertible, and very small, and very cute, and it was used to my racing and swearing.

I'm just gonna miss it.

Yeah, mine's called Jacob.

I feel your pain, Zook. I am so sick of school I can hardly stand it. December cannot get here fast enough.

I haven't taken a semester off, and I'm so burned I don't care anymore. I just...don't care. Screw school. I just want to work in a zoo and get my sanity back. Nothing seems real anymore. Just take the tests, pass the classes, and keep moving so you can get that piece of paper. I feel like I'm loosing touch and focus with the reason I came to school in the first place. I need to get jumpstarted again.

A friend told me to stop complaining. *snorts* THis chick has a bachelors, so it baffles me why she coudln't identify with the "AUGH!" in my words. Everyone else is aware that it's mroe than kvetching. But she's an academic/musical golden child that went to a private conservatory for college and she lived at home the whole time, so small wonder she doesn't understand what it is to take classes wher eyou have no idea why you need to know this stuff. And what it is to fail an exam after thinking you have a good grasp on the material. Not get a lower grade than you expected, but fail with style (ie, a 54)

Sorry this took so long. The forum was refusing to load.

I can't drop anything without going into part-time status, which will affect my financial aid. The idea of dropping organic chem highly appeals, but because of the financial aid issues, it's not an option. So I'm just going to the teacher's assistants to get help. Lots of help. And trying to stay up to date on studying and all that. I'm doing better than I was, but the desire for winter break to come NOW is not less.

I've had a small nervous breakdown from studying constantly before, so I've seen the dark side of that, but I doubt I'll suffer that again. The conditions just aren't the same this time as they were then. But, yes, I'll be studying a lot. It stinks, but it'll be over in early December. I can deal for another two months.

I have tests in O-chem *and* genetics next Friday. So my plan is to spend tomorrow taking on O-chem and Sunday taking on Genetics. I had a talk with general chem about how if it didn't cause problems for me, I wouldn't cause problems for it. I see that O-chem hasn't understood that message yet, so I must get tough on it and show it who's boss. Failure is not an option!

The studying isn't going too badly. O-chem is still a deep, vicious evil, but I will fight it until it dies (or I pass and don't have to deal with it again, whichever comes first).

Thanks for the cheer up. What I'd really love right now is to take a trip to Middle Earth and spend a few months hanging out in the wonderful land of Rohan, where I can enjoy horses and the buff men that ride them.

Went to bed with damp hair. Looked at myself in the mirror when I went into the bathroom to take Aleve for my sinus headache. Laughed at how spiky and punk I look. Add a few spike wristbands and some crazy makeup, and I'm good to go in looking uberscary.
