Rest In Peace

For those of you who haven't already heard, I was in a car accident yesterday on my way to school. I was driving down the Loyd experssway when a car in front of my swerved off to the right. I looked over at the vehicle wondering whey they swerved. When I looked forward again I saw why just in time to slam on my breaks and slide right in to the stopped SUV. The roads were wet which is why I slid. The next thing I knew I had an airbag in my face and my car was filling with smoke. Apparently a car had stalled at the signal and two cars had stopped suddenly behind him. I was the unlucky third that couldn't stop in time. I am okay... my neck is a little sore but luckily that's the only injury I sustained. My poor little car, however, didn't make it. My good little Toyota that I've had for about six years is now junk.

To add to the stress I have two finals tomorrow. One of them is cumulative so I've been studying my @$$ off for it. I've been studying for several hours every day. I found out today that the test will be 100 points worth of new material and only 50 points worth of old... so I've been wasting my time studying all of that old stuff and not spending enough time on the new stuff! Oh well... I can only do my best. So, on that note, I need to get back to studying!

Are you serious?

I am a big fan of Mary Engelbreit's. As a matter of fact I just got her new 2007 calendar. I was looking at the back of it and noticed a little promo for cell phone screen savers. I thought I'd check it out... it's almost $2.00 for a CELL PHONE SCREEN SAVER? Are you freaking kidding me? Do you not make enough money as it is off of all the other stuff you sell? This is part of why I stopped buying Thomas Kinkade stuff.

Ah, the joys of stress!

Okay, so it's the week before finals. In some schools this is referred to as dead week and teachers do not give tests this week. At my school this is not dead week. It is the week when we take our last lecture tests and all of our lab finals. I had a lab final yesterday and a lecture test today. I don't know how I did on the lecture test but I got a 96.5 on my lab final. YAY! I've been really stressed out this week so I'm happy to have those tests over with. Two down, two to go. I have two finals next week, luckily only one is cumulative.
I have to write a paper for my humanities class and I'm having a hard time getting started. I don't have to write very often so it's always a chore when I have to do it. Getting started is ALWAYS the hardest part. Robin, you know you want to write it for me. he he
Okay, so I'm done rambling... here's a quote I stole off of my friend's profile:
"Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'who am I to be so brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God: Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our prsence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

Brrrr... it's cold!

The weather was finally nice enough for me to go running outside lately.... that is until yesterday when a cold front blew in. It is freakin freezing cold outside today!

I have spent the day trying to figure out a schedule for studying for my finals. That way I can have the chapters that I need to review evenly spread out over sevearl days and I know how many chapters/sections I need to review per day up until the final. I have four tests left for the semester, a paper, and a project.

I always get so antsy near the end of the semester and it is hard for me to make myself sit down and study. I keep wanting to get up and wrap presents or pretty much anything else other than study.

I am excited about going home for Christmas. It's been several years since I've spent Christmas at home. I just wish Tony could go with me... I guess things are just too busy at work right now. I am hoping that my sister and I will be able to squeeze in some time to go shopping for a dress for me while I'm out. Otherwise I'll have to try some on here and send her pictures for approval. Anyway... I should be studying so I guess I'll get back to it.
