What a long day.  Tomorrow shouldnt be so bad. I got 2 of the papers done [the two for this week] and this weekend Im going to get the 2 journal article reviews completed and the 2 papers that are due next week. Im also going to study for my midterm.  That should be about it, unless I get really into the whole writing papers thing and decide to bust out one of the bigger ones. You never know!

Kinda got some bad news today. Found out that the 4 year program Im enrolled in will take me longer than the financial aid will pay for. Basically, I'll go 6 months over what the government is allowing me. I do have an option. I can change my major completely to Communications with an emphasis in Healthcare. That will take me 1.5 years.  That just means I've done all of this crap this quarter for nothing! Ugh! In order to get into the communications program, you have to write an essay and be approved. That doesnt bother me though. You can still take 80% of the classes needed without declaring the major. I'll have to have at least 6 foriegn language classes.  So, I'm flip flopping between Spanish and Sign Language. I think Spanish would benefit me most, so I'll probably do that. Steve is good at Spanish, too. I know a little French, as I had 4 years of it in high school. Now, I can still get a totally different degree. I can get a Bachelors in Psychology, Bachelors in Criminal Justice, Bachelors in Technical of Applied Science, or Bachelors in Communications. I still have options, just not the one I wanted.  Oh well, c'est la vie!

Tomorrow Im going to go to school a bit early. Might do one of the 2 article reviews (if not both because he gave us a website we can use tonight to do them from!) and get them out of the way. That way, I can spend this weekend working on that 10 page paper. It's double spaced, so it won't be that bad. Can ya'll tell I'm dreading that?!  Mahahah!

Well, I've watched my shows [The Closer and Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat] and I think Im going to go relax for a bit. Milo is sick. Poor thing. He keeps throwing up and he's just sleeping. Im just leaving him be. Otis got out one of the potatoes from the bag of potatoes and was chewing on it. Wierdo.

After class I took my diploma [I got my diploma from my school today!!] to my grandparents house to show it off and everyone was there! Heather, Curtis, Uncle Michael, Mawmaw, Pawpaw, and Momma. We sat and talked for like an hour, after I got there, then one of Heather and Curtis' friends was having a baby and they wanted to go see it. She was literally in labor and Curtis' friend was freaking out! So he went to be with him. Anyway, after I left mawmaw and pawpaw's I went to momma's. Played with Gloria for a bit and hung out. Then, I came home. I ate some supper and watched my shows. Now, here I am. Steve works tomorrow and then he's off Wednesday night and Thursday night. Im glad, I miss him. Maybe he and I will celebrate my birthday Thursday night instead of Friday night since someone will be here with me.

Welp, gonna change clothes and maybe hop in the shower or something. Tomorrow Im not leaving the house til around 3:30 or 4pm, so if any of yous is online, message me.

Mood: Happy and Tired
Listening to: The clicking of the kajillion keyboards here in the computer lab

Well, here I sit in the computer lab at school. I didn't get everything done today that I wanted to. Im going to have to pay my rent tomorrow and come in early tomorrow and type up my paper for Thursday. The good news is, the rest of the week I can work on that massive research paper that I have due on Canada's Healthcare System. If I can get that completed by Monday [one week from today] and turned in, then he can look at it and give it back to me so I can fix anything I mess up. Im also going to try my best to get the next 2 papers done for next week over the weekend. Now that I got my house really clean and all of the laundry caught up, I have some down time.

Man, today is one of those days where I'll just be sitting here and then I'll space out and have no idea what I was doing. Been doing that all day. Kinda scary! Man, these next 4 weeks are going to take forever! I just can't wait for this quarter to be over with. There's so many papers! I wish the professors would understand that the quarter is cut in half so why make 10 page papers due?! That makes no sense! Next week is midterms, so I hope to have that ginormous paper turned in by Wednesday evening. If I can turn it in one week from this coming wednesday, then I'll be ahead of the game.

Man, people drive me insane around here. I think Im gonna stop this here and try to get this other paper done so I dont have to do it tomorrow. Hope you guys are having a good Monday. I also hope I get out of class early tonight, because I really don't want to be here until 9:30pm. I have 20 minutes until classes start for the day. I hope I get out of my first class early so I can get my paper done for Thursday. That way, tomorrow I can work on one of the two journal reviews.

It would be super sweet to just turn everything in one week from wednesday for my healthcare admin class! Then, I'll just have to put together a power point presentation, which I *love* to do, and that class is finished! Then, I can get the 29384792387 papers completed for my healthcare law class and be ahead of the game! I might do the rest of the papers and then before my panel presents, brush up on the chapters. That's the first intelligent idea I've had all day! Mahahah! I can see a light at the end of the tunnel! It's just going to require me to spend my birthday weekend writing papers. HOWEVER, that would be the best birthday present ever. The 10 page paper completed, 2 journal reviews completed, and all the papers for this law class completed. Then, I'll just have the worksheets for my race and ethnic relations class to do everynight.

Ok, Im blabbering. I need to stop. I've got to write a paper on Physician Supervision and Monitoring from a Patients Point of View. So, between today and Friday, anyone that has any great websites about Canada's healthcare System, or personal stories, PLEASE leave them in a comment OR send me a message through blogigo. Just click on my name [shellbug773], type in the box, and send message.

Mkay, Im really going now. I'll be updating later tonight or tomorrow. Let's hope I get home by 9pm to watch The Closer. I set it to record it, but forgot to tell Steve to leave the DVR box on. If the box isn't on, it can't record. UGH! Mahaha! That's ok. I'll be home by then, I'm sure! OOOh! Wonder if I can get a paper typed in 10 minutes?! DOUBTFUL! I'll just have to wait until I'm outta Dr. J's class. Im off to class now! Take care!

xoxoxo

Listening to: steve and myself typing

Well, it's about 2:30am and Im getting ready to crawl into bed. I've got a big day tomorrow. Just a lot of stuff to do! I've gotta run to the bank, the post office, my landlord's place and pay rent. Then, bring some cash back here for Steve. Then I'm picking up Amanda, going to school, dropping off a form, goin to the computer lab and typing up two papers, doing my worksheet for my class at 2pm tomorrow, then class from 2 - 9:30pm. The good news is, I've got my homework done for my law class for the week, which means I can do the other two papers on Friday for law for the following week and work on my research paper this week. I hope to turn it in by next week. One week from tomorrow is my midterm!! I just have one. Then, in 2 more weeks I have 2 finals, 3 papers, and a presentation! That's why I gotta get started on this stuff! Hopefully I can get the big papers out of the way then work on the 2 little papers for my healthcare admin class. I took all these hard classes this summer and this fall I dont really have a hard schedule. I think Im going to do winter intersession [where you go between fall and winter quarter] and get some classes out of the way, if they're offered. Right now Im just hoping and praying my financial aid doesn't run out before I graduate. As of this quarter, I'm a senior. Mahaha! I have like 192 hours! So, I've got to take less hours and take only the classes I need. =)

Well, Im going to crawl into bed. I've gotta get up in about 8 hours and take a shower and start my monday. Hope you guys have a great Monday!  =)
