AUGH

I am so stressed, I feel like I am about to have a panic attack.

I just got done taking the Spanish exam from Hell... which is ironic considering my teacher is a nun. She is insane. Absolutamente loca. She has all these little rules and technicalities in her class, it's like she is looking for ways to lower our grades. I'm serious. I'm never one to say "this teacher is out to get me" or whatever... but this one, I seriously believe, gets some sort of sick pleasure out of marking us wrong. One time I scratched out one letter of a word on a pop quiz, and she gave me a zero. For the whole quiz. What the crap, this is COLLEGE!

I am so, so stressed and I am afraid I am going to get a B. It's driving me nuts, because Spanish is worth 5 credits, not the typical 3, so whatever grade I get in Spanish will affect my GPA more than another class would. This exam today... she said it was on chapters 12 and 13... well, LAST NIGHT she posted an announcement on BlackBoard that, oh yeah, remember Chapter 15? That's gonna be on here as well. Yes, we already learned it, but that was like 3-4 weeks ago! I found this out THIS MORNING when I walked into class, and someone mentioned how crappy it was that she posted this last night. I was like "what... the... crap..." ARGH! And there were like 3 sections on this junk!! I probably got a B or worse on this exam because I didn't know about that stuff!!

To top it off, she has marked me off for participation in class, she's gonna fail me on the pop quizzes (that's another story, don't get me started) and every unexcused absence is 2 points off our final grade... I don't have any, but I might have enough tardies to make one. I don't know how she calculates that. Plus she might mark me off for homework too, since sometimes I forget it... that's ANOTHER 2 points off my final grade... I mean, as far as my tests and quizzes go, I have about a 94 average, and I do at least 90% of the homework... I feel like I deserve an A. Really. And I haven't been late in months. But... I am probably getting a B. I am so so so STRESSED and my heart is racing. It did help a little to vent just now, though.

I have an interview in Spanish on Monday morning (worth 5 points of my final grade)... and two major exams in my other classes on Tuesday. Then I have a presentation due next Tuesday that's worth as much as an exam, and I also take my GRE that Monday. Oh, and Justice week is next week too... and to top it off, I haven't heard from my thesis director in over a month.

Please pray for me, I am freaking out hardcore.

Off to class...

Lazy

Lazy-butt... that's me!! :/

I'm not looking forward to work tonight... I'm going to be the only server in the entire back dining room. Can you say STRESS?? If it's anything close to as busy tonight as it was last night, I'm gonna barricade the entrance to the room with chairs and trays so the hostesses will maybe STOP seating me for 2 minutes while they take apart the barricade. *sigh* Hopefully I'll survive tho, and make some cash. My goal is to make enough money this summer so that I can QUIT when school starts. Then I can dye my hair awesome colors, and get my ears pierced AGAIN, and oh yeah, be able to put more time into ministry (that's the main one, lol)!!

P.S. My little bro is gradumacating tomorrow!! I'm so excited!! :)



That's us at the Ren Fest last year. :)











Hooray for Eric graduating! We'll finally be at the same school again! Go Bulls!!
