I Did It

Slowly but surely, things are weighing off my shoulders! I took the NET on Friday and I passed. Well, I knew that I would pass, but I was so worried about the reading section. The time FLIES by, and I'm a fast reader! I looked at the time on question 20 of 33 and I had 7 minutes left. Yikes! That put way too much pressure on me and I would lose my place in reading, I would read really fast, and then I would have to go back and read it again! Needless to say, I would have like to have done better but I did as well as I could with what I had. Having taken the practice test, I knew the time would be an issue but was hoping time would magically go slower at the actual test:)

I can't believe I am almost done with Summer I. Although I'm glad it's over, I don't think I would like to take a class like that in the summer again! It's so fast-paced and such difficult material. I'm making it, though. I can't imagine if I had to work though! Of course I never seem to be 100% satisfied with what I'm doing and always think I can do better. 

Anyways, on a totally unrelated note...I purchased Amazing Grass Superfood quite a while ago but haven't been using it totally regularly. Starting yesterday (or Friday, I forget), I am incorporating it into my diet somehow (via green monster, water, orange juice) and am hoping that all of the hoopla and testimonials will ring true. I'm hoping to see a noticeable difference in my energy level, appetite, and skin complexion. I also ordered some Amazing Meal so I'm excited to use that too. 

Well this week is pretty lax compared to last. I have lab & lecture tests tomorrow, have to get my fingerprints renewed (you know, since they change), have dinner with Allison, and return/get a new dress for the actual wedding. I found a reception dress (originally $180 on sale for $59!). Other than that, cleaning and putting away clothes. Off to study some muscles.

Till I pump you up,

E.

You can breathe now.

Sigh.

Today I had my first lab practical and lecture test. I felt pretty good about them...afterwards in the lecture I was thinking to myself, "Always go with your gut!" a few times because I changed an answer or two. I KNOW I got nothing below a B, but I'm hoping with my extra credit question answered correctly I have an A. I have a lot of complaints about my teacher, not because I like to complain, but probably because 1) I'm a teacher 2) I don't even know where to start...To sum him up... He is a little cocky, unprofessional,  and lazy. I have many things to back this up. Of course I would never say this to his face or call him out on his crap everyday because he seems quite vengeful. And I can see why he's gotten fired from two other CCs. Let's just say I will actually fill out an evaluation:) After how many years in college??

Anyways, great weekend in San Diego! I love watching the DBacks in other places. I really want to go back in September! It was relaxing but at the same time weird to sleep with no dogs! Speaking of dogs, we now have 3 because we are dog sitting! Crazy dogs...

I feel very relaxed with no "job" and just school to worry about. It's weird. I should probably be stressed out wondering how I'll pay for the mortgage in September! I just haven't decided what I want to do yet. It's taken me a while to be "okay" with kind of bumming it. No one else seems to care but me, though. I'm paying my bills and feeding us so why should anyone care?!

Very excited to have drinks with Danielle tomorrow! I haven't been able to have a conversation with her really in forever! It's always been casual (school, birthday) and couldn't delve deep into gossip. And I'll get to meet the new one. 

Looking forward to: taking my NET next week, a Flag trip with Katy, and our Wisconsin trip! Well going to watch the DBacks and make some more notecards and do some reading. Speaking of reading, I got to enjoy a few pages of "My Sister's Keeper" on the beach without feeling guilty about it. Hopefully I'll be able to continue reading it.
