Weak End

Today is the last day of the weekend. I don't know where it all went. Probably a lot of it was spent sleeping and napping. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I got fell asleep several times this afternoon. I also got quite a bit of reading homework done. There is still time for fun before this weekend is over, if not, there is always next weekend.

Relaxing Day

Today I got caught up on my sleep. I normally play soccer on Saturdays, but I slept in too late to make it on time. I also started my homework today, so hopefully I will be able to relax tomorrow. Although today was pretty relaxing, so tomorrow doesn't have to be. I may try to get to the Olympics.

Forget It

Today is Friday. I had a math quiz today I forgot to study for much more than a few minutes before class. However, I think I did fairly well on it. It will be nice to not have much homework or studying to do this weekend. That time will come soon enough when it gets closer to finals time.

Booking It

Today is Thursday. This week has gone by fast. I've been getting my homework done ahead of time, which is nice. It will also be nice when it is the weekend. It is hard to believe this quarter is almost over.

Rains and Pours

Today it rained. The weather has been really nice lately. I can't remember the last time it rained as hard as it did today let alone rained much at all. I also didn't really follow my plan for eating less and healthier. I guess when it rains, it pours.

Creamed

Today my healthier eating plan was put to the test. I was doing fine until I saw someone with a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. I couldn't resist getting dessert and really didn't want to leave the dining hall hungry. However, I didn't eat nearly as much as I did yesterday so at least there was some improvement.

Fried Rice, Pizza, Hamburger, Fries, Cake, Ice Cream

Today I decided to try out a new theory. The plan is that if I eat a lot of unhealthy food in the dining hall on a Monday, I will remember the rest of the week that it wasn't worth it and will eat healthy the rest of the week. I hope it works and I really gave it a go tonight eating a lot. Right now I feel really full and that I majorly negated the effort I put in at the Rec Center today. Hopefully I didn't learn that eating a lot of unhealthy food is fun or delicious, which it can be. That wouldn't be healthy or the goal of this experiment.

Layup Layout

Today I had some major work to do on the essay I didn't work on much yesterday. I spent quite a bit of the day in the computer lab working on it. I did take a break from essay writing to play in an intramural basketball game. It was fun even though I had no clue what I was doing besides running around madly. I almost made a layup on a breakaway, but I missed and the defender landed on top of me and now my thumb, knee and leg hurt.

Fun Day

Today was such nice a day outside, I spent most of it outside. I had a lot of fun playing soccer, frisbee and even some volleyball. However, this means I really didn't make the progress on my essay that I wanted to. I guess there is always tomorrow.

Fairly Fast Friday

Today is Friday. This past week went by fairly fast. It also feels good to have midterms out of the way. Unfortunately, my professor assigned an essay today that is due on Monday. That means a good chunk of my weekend will be spent writing this essay. The goal is to get it finished tomorrow so I can relax on Sunday. That is the ideal plan, but we'll see what happens in actuality.

Put to the Test

Today I got back my calculus test. I didn't do nearly as bad as I thought on it. That being said, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement. I went jogging for the second time this week today. It feels good to be out running around the town again. Well, the blister on a blister on my foot is telling me otherwise.

Grades Gotten

Today I got back two midterms. Overall, I did alright on both of them. I would have preferred to have done a bit better on one of them, but the multiple choice problems really confused me and hurt my grade. I should get my math test back tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to the score I got on it, because it can't be very good. I guess it is a bit unrealistic to expect to do good on everything all the time.

Dog Gone

Today I had a calculus test. It didn't go too well. I knew most of the concepts, but struggled with the application problems which is what most of the test was comprised of. I mean, your dog can't create doggy biscuits to sell to its dog friends professor, seriously. I should have put that for an answer. I have to wait and see just how bad I did. Thankfully, it wasn't do or die, but it would have been nice to have done better on it.

Weekend Wrap Up

Today I have to do the schoolwork I have been putting off all weekend. I have a calculus test tomorrow I need to study for. I also have some reading to finish before Wednesday. I always tell myself I should space stuff out and not save everything for the last day of the weekend, but that rarely happens.

Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day. I want to wish a happy Valentine's Day to all my readers. Historically, I haven't been a huge fan of the day myself. My opinion changed a bit yesterday after spending the day making Valentine's Day cards with friends and watching movies and of course you can't forget all the candy and chocolate that is eaten. To clarify for one of my readers, or perhaps to all of them, a win-win situation would have been a better description of staying at college as opposed to going home for the weekend. I called it a lose-lose. I'm having a good time at college, and I would have had a good time if I went home.

Soccer Saturday

Today it was nice to sleep in. It was also nice to play some soccer. It was a tough decision, but I decided to stay at college for the three day weekend rather than going home. It would have been nice to go home and see the family, but there are some things going on this week I didn't want to miss. It was sort of a lose-lose situation, but I'll make the best of it.

Friday Cancelled

Today is finally Friday. It has felt like Friday for the past few days, but now that it is here, it doesn't really feel like Friday. I went to my 'early' class today. Around half of the class wasn't there. Eventually, we found out that the teacher had cancelled class the night before. She owes me two hours of sleep. Perhaps I will redeem it in class next time we have it.

False Fridays

Today and yesterday have really felt like a Friday to me. I'm not sure exactly why, but it is not fun to realize I actually have classes the next day. Thankfully, tomorrow actually is Friday and it is a three day weekend. I'm looking forward to a much needed break from classes, especially after having so many tests lately.

Monster Midterm 2

Today I quite literally had a Monster midterm. It was for the writing portion of the class. Not surprisingly, the test involved a lot of writing. I feel pretty good about the midterm, but will have to wait to see exactly how I did on it. I'm just glad to have midterm season over, although I have one major test early next week I need to start thinking about soon.

Free Fun

Today Denny's was having their free breakfast event. Originally, I thought it went from 2:00pm-6:00pm, which wouldn't really make much sense. Later, after I invited some people to go, I found out that it was from 6:00am to 2:00pm. So a group of us got up while it was still dark outside and went to Denny's. It was early, but it was fun and free. After breakfast, I was finally able to get my enhanced driver's license and also found time to study calculus all before I would normally be awake on a Tuesday.

Lost Monday

Today I had my midterm in political geography. I studied quite a bit yesterday, and while I didn't feel great about the test, I was just ready to take it and get it over with. Over half the points on the exam came from multiple choice questions. I am not a huge fan of multiple choice, especially when it seems the questions are designed to trick you. Every questions had none of the above as an answer, which seems like more of a cop out than an answer. There were 15 locations we had to identify on the world map, but the map was so small it was hard to clearly distinguish exactly where things were. Overall, I feel like I didn't do quite as well as I hoped on the test, but didn't feel like I did terribly either. Maybe I'll be surprised in a good way. I'm just glad to have it out of the way.

I have use of a car this week, so I tried for the second time to go to the department of licensing office to get my enhanced drivers license. I got lost on my way there and on my way back, even though I have been there before. I finally found the place but they are closed on Mondays.

Super Bowled Over

Today was the day of the big game. Sadly, it was also the day of my big study session. I've been chipping away at the studying for my midterm tomorrow all week, but needed to do some serious work today. I was able to watch some of the game and have made good progress on the studying. However, I still have a ways, and majority of the the world countries I need to locate, to go.

Busy Day

Today has been a busy day. I have a midterm on Monday that I feel like will be really difficult. I've been trying to study for it, but I've also had other things I needed to do and other things I wanted to do. I'm worried tomorrow I will be in a panic and not be able to watch the Super Bowl. I have 90 places on the world map I need to memorize for the midterm and pages of notes and books to go through. I'm running out of time and starting to get worried.

Family Friday

Today my family was in town. It was fun to get to see them. I wish they could have been in town longer, but just having them here at all was special. It was the first time our whole family had been together in a month. As they know, they can visit whenever they want.

Mapping it Out

Today was a fairly productive day. I woke up earlier than planned and was able to get some studying done before my classes. I had a calculus quiz, and I feel like I did well on it. This afternoon I worked on a mapping project and finished my calculus homework and still found time to make it to the rec center. My map still has a ways to go before it is anywhere near completion, but it was good to at least start on it.

Unweak Week

Today is Wednesday. In the next week, I have a calculus quiz to take, map to create, world map to memorize, political geography midterm to study for and take and the writing portion of my monsters class to study and take a midterm about. It is quite a bit of stuff to accomplish and not a lot of time to accomplish it in.

Monster Midterm

Today I had a midterm for the geology portion of my monsters class. I wasn't really sure what to expect. I didn't expect my teacher to bring his dog to class. That was interesting. The test itself wasn't too hard and I feel like I probably did pretty well on it. I'm mainly just glad to have it out of the way and now need to start getting ready for my next midterms.

Math Monday

Today was a long Monday. I've got a midterm tomorrow that I need to study for. For the first time in my life, I am struggling with math. It is a new experience for me, and rather frustrating. I'm also at the point in my academic career where I am questioning whether struggling through this class is really worth it. I've just been out of math too long and my math skills are too rusty for this class. The deadline for dropping a class is I believe tomorrow if it hasn't already passed. I really would hate for it to come to that, maybe I'll just try even if I don't know the probability of success.
