I've been awake for a little over an hour, and Joel's mom has already gotten under my skin to the point that I want to scream or punch something. Or maybe both. I'm going to the gym.
I've finally been doing good in a math class for once. I even conquered my age-old enemies, factoring trinomials and the quadratic formula. Then this morning we had the last test before the final. It's supposed to be a good indicator of what is going to be on the final, and it indicated quite well that the only thing I remember from this semester is how to factor trinomials and use the quadratic formula. I think this is the first test I've ever bombed after putting in reasonable effort.
Man, I'm sorry. Did you get a study guide for the test or anything? Maybe if you just practice doing the problems a whole bunch before the final you'll tear it up!
I haven't gotten one yet, but it looks like I'm going to be making a stop by the school book store tonight. I know I understood most of this stuff when I did the homework and did the tests before so hopefully it won't be too hard to jumpstart my memory. The final is next friday, and it doesn't help that it's at 6:00 AM.
Yuck, a 6 AM final? That's terrible. The earliest final I ever took was at 7, and it made me want to cry. How can they expect a person to think that early in the morning???
Ugh....I am out of the labels I use for the newsletter that I have to have ready for crew to assemble tomorrow at 9:00. The crappy antiquated database we use to generate those labels doesn't not accept any of the label sizes we DO have. I have $16 in my account to I can't run to Staples to buy a box of labels until after I get my check signed..which won't be until after 4:00. So..I won't be able to get the label I need until basically after work, yet I have to have them all printed by 9:00 tomorrow. Not only that, but the antiquated database won't let me customize a label printing to exclude the people who want their newsletters online. So I have to print about 350 labels and then hand pull off all the ones for people who don't want a hard-copy. Not only that, but I have to print all 300plus newsletters before I go home today and proofreader isn't even hear yet. It is 3:10. Tick Tock. I hate newsletter week.
If tomorrow goes like today, I am going to become one of those people that watches the clock until noon so they can drink. My little boy, Bear, is teething, and it's hurting us both today...
If this is Word - could there be perhaps an easier way? Maybe put labels on clear page - or back page of newsletter - and just staple into 5 1/2 x 8 size and send out bulk for those that want it snaill mail? Sorry - a woman friend of mine says the dif between men and women is men are compelled to offer solutions when someone articulates a problem; whereas women are perfectly content to just listen, nod their head and say either, "really!" or go on with telling you their problems. I found that her observation is pretty much spot on.
Grrs. I have to outline 130 pgs. of AP Euro History text, read two books, and Write a detailed study guide for 12 Chapters in AP Biology. Not including all the review work I have to do to get ready for pre-calc. *CRIES*
While I am excited about going to the Dream Theater concert tonight I'm not happy that Pain of Salvation had to drop out of this tour cause their record label went bankrupt. It was probably my only chance to see them in concert too v.v
Staples...that made me cringe. Sorry you're having issues with your newsletters! I hope everything gets finished on time. That doesn't sound pleasant.
Xeno, Lydia --my jaw does the same thing, but only on the left side. At least for me, it's because I used to pop it too much. Now it's slightly offset on the left side. As consequence, I cant open my mouth as wide as I used to and cant chew gum as often as I'd like. It's not particularly painful though. If it's painful, go see a doctor. I have a yucky feeling in the pit of my stomach. I usually get this way right before I perform or compete or something, but I'm not doing anything nervewracking for a week or so. I figure it's probably because of this new medicine I'm on; it's made me sleep in the middle of the day, lose conciousness all together, and my body's simply all outta whack. Boo. I also had a really unpleasant dream last night. What's with me, eh?!
