What it feels like to get the lowest score in the class on a test.... twice

In 2 different classes in a week span, i some how managed to receive the lowest possible score ever... also i some how scored the lowest in the class. How the heck does anybody do that?
I never thought it would happen..... I never thought i would get my test results back to see a C..... then it happened... i never thought i would manage to see an "F" ... an "F" but then it happened, my worst nightmare. I remember reading my email.... the little email showed up.... "Test results" it said.... i froze... took a deep breath.... my hands trembling i remember feeling sick i hurried up and opened it quickly and painfully.
An "F" is what it basically said..... an "F"... i suddenly felt extremely ill, extremely hot, extremely confused, oh god i needed to lie down. What was happening? Was i dieing? All these thoughts rushed in my head and no no... i didn't want to, but it started. First it was a little bit, then it was uncontrollable. The wet tears ran down my face profusely i gasped for air and cried for about an hour. I never wanted to feel this way again and then about 3 days later...... it happened all over again
My first "F".... well i should really say "F's" because it is plural...... it was a sad and tragic day i will unfortunately, remember forever.
THE END!

BAHH!!!!! GRADUATE SCHOOL and shattered dreams.... ok not so shattered

So it is part of my assignment in my Psych 2950 class to look into 5 graduate programs. There is a whole list of requirements we need to meet and certain details we need to address.

I took it upon myself to actually call the schools and holy crap! I never realized how intense this process is. I have been looking into a couple programs for a while, after calling one of my top choices, i am sad to say i was extremely disappointed. Imagine, dreaming of the perfect school, with the perfect people, in the perfect location, you get there and it's not what you have always imagined... awful feeling huh? That's exactly how i felt when i talked to some of the people on the phone today.
It was worth it though. At least i got the information straight instead of putting all this time and effort into a school and not liking it. Good things can be found in any situation!

House Keeper by day... RA 24/7

Oh the things we do to make money in life!!!!
We make money for food, we make money to go to school, and we occasionally make money for that rainy day!!!
I am saving my money to go to school and pay for the application fees for my graduate school applications and holy crap!!! I feel soo busy!
It has always been my dream to be a housekeeper and i have recently been employed at the university inn on campus oh my gosh! Really.... i love working there..... that's all just wanted to share how much i LOVE LOVE LOVE to clean
The End!

GRE.. huh??

Remember the SAT? How about the ACT? what about those standardized tests you took throughout your middle school and high school years? Well i thought for a brief moment in time that i was done with all that.... i do not know why i thought that but whatever.
Yeah now to get into Graduate school i have to take the GRE (Graduate record exam) it is like the SAT on steroids...... it is going to take me the whole summer to prepare, i will take it in August and then i will be applying to graduate school.
I feel like its applying for college all over again. The whole process of preparing for the tests, taking them, looking through schools and seeing which school fits you best. It's a pretty nostalgic journey that reminds me of the journey i took to Utah State University.

SNOW DAY!

BAHHH!!!!
In high school a snow day was something you might expect, in Ohio i live right off the lake and every morning before school we would watch the news, heck i would get ready for school while watching the TV and hoping for a snow day. It was not unreal or unheard of to have a snow day.
But college...... Don't count on it, is what i have been told but last week my life became a little more exciting. It was the snow storm that didn't end, it was the quarter sized Sn*W flakes that looked like those one you made in elementary our of paper.
When i heard classes were cancelled i almost died!!! It made my life complete!!!

First test of the semester!!!!

OH GOSH!!!
you know that feeling! The one where the teacher says "And remember next monday we have a test." you nod your head in agreeance and smile but really.... you panic, you get nervous, you say "Oh crap we're only 3 weeks into the semester, test... already?"

Thats about how i felt on friday! How can we have a test already we have covered 4 chapters and two readings at 24 pages a piece...... yeah.... thats how we can have a test. I remember thinking "That is alot of material" just after that the professor says "It is 35 questions and 4 essays" YIKES YIKES DOUBLE YIKES!!!!!!

After leaving that class i thought i might have a nervous breakdown, i frantically packed my book bag full of books, notes, and pens. I ran down to the library and studied,m all of friday night, saturday morning, saturday night, and sunday night. I was even kicked out of the library at midnight.... that didn't stop me, i went home and studied until 2 am!!!!!

I woke up this morning and took the exam, i have never ever ever felt sooooo calm during a test, and after the test, i didn't feel anxious, nervous, or relieved, i felt calm...... so i guess i didn't need to panic after all!

Stupid Patriots.......

I can't believe it! I have East coast pride and i LOVE LOVE LOVE the patriots but are you kidding me?
I first of all cannot believe that the Giants got in the superbowl, that was by pure luck and chance (If you believe in such a thing) i definitly thought the patriots would play someebody a little more worthy of the superbowl. I definitly thought the patriots had this one in the bag and this would be the 5th notch they added on their belts for winning yet again a 5th superbowl... boy was i wrong!
Next.... I hate to admit it but the giants played a great great game!!!! They pummeled the patriots in the first 7 minutes of the game, and Tom Brady... Oh TOm Brady... I am SOOOOO disappointed in you most of all. You should have stepped up your "A" game!

The best part of the game, besides watching the underdogs anyalate the patriots, was the half time show! OH MY GOD!!!! TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS!!! My heart went a flutter at just the sheer sound clips of his all time hits during commercial break! The show was just magnificent! His voice, after all these yeras is still amazing!

And the commercials, you can;t forget those. I was really surprised by how awesome some were and then... how lame others were.

AND THE BEST PART OF IT ALL.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... THE SUPERBOWL PARTY! What the heck is better than watching the superbowl on a huge projector, in a room with 150 screaming fans, all you cqan eat wings, jalepeno poppers, chips, dip, brownies, soda, chips, god.... it was soo amazing and i didnt have to go far at all, it was right in our apartment area, so even though it snowed 12 feet (not literally) i still got there in 30 seconds and was there all night!
