I'm trudging through finals week. I had no finals today but after my 3 finals yesterday, I am pooped.

The first final went as expected. I knew nothing and will probably still get a B. My second final I pretended to know stuff and will probably get an A. The third final though ... my mind was jello at that point and I was in trouble. I studied and studied and couldn't study anymore and my mind just could not formulate a valid argument as I had hoped. I don't even think I had a thesis for that essay to be sure. hmm ... could be trouble but I was hoping to do WELL on that one. Grr.

I have 2 finals to go. One is tomorrow at 8am and then I work 12-6. The second is Thursday at 11. I'm concerned about the one on Thursday ... I need to do well (get a B) so I can get a B in the course. I'm hoping I will have absorbed enough to succeed ... oh man do I hope. I'm taking the notes to work tonight and then I plan on studying more tomorrow after work. Hopefully the combined effort will result in a B or better so the teacher will say, "B it is" and I can go home happy. If not? Uh oh ...

This semester was my most stressful semester to date. It may get worse in a different way as I have to teach next semester and the following semester. Next semester is "professional semester" where I have classes on teaching and whatnot and then I go and teach for two weeks. The semester after that is student teaching and that's trouble.

I should have gotten a money order while I was at the bank today. Blast! I need to send in this application for a "child abuse background check" so I can legally teach. Need to get that in soon or I won't have it for my meeting next month. Grr.

On that note, I'm going to go nurse my headache. Have a good one.

You know you're going to fail the child-abuse background check. I see you smacking little kids around all the time and stealing their lunch money. And stealing candy from babies.

Don't deny it, you know it's true. =P Just remember, it's not dropping rocks on babies, but dropping babies on rocks.

Headaches are fun. Migraines are even better. I just love migraines.

OK, I'm going to leave now, before I get stoned (err, not *THAT* stoned, you know, with rocks and the throwing and the pain and the bleeding?)

And I'm not telling you who I am! You'll just have to guess!
