No Time

I just had my first class of the semester last night and didn't get home until almost 9pm and I left the house at 6:15am. Once a week would be ok, but this semester I decided to take 2 classes. On top of that, tonight I have an association meeting. I feel like I didn't even get to see Mr. B this weekend and now this week is turning out to be more of the same. I can see that it's going to be hard to spend time together when we've both got so much going on with work and school and everything else.

I'm not sure how this 2 classes a week thing is going to work out. If I don't take 2 classes a semester it's going to take me 3+ years to get my Master's, but if I take them 2 at a time, and one in the summer I'll be done at the end of 2010/beginning of 2011. A friend at work thinks I should get my doctorate while our employer is paying for it, but I'm not sure I could juggle that with work and having a husband. I'm already miserable as it is getting home and eating dinner 10 minutes before I have to go to bed so I can actually get some sleep.

Last night I just needed some space when I got home from work and I felt bad for telling Mr. B to give me that space. I was just so wound up and exhausted at the same time. I had meetings all day long and then sat in a 3 hour class. I just wanted to eat my dinner and zone out for a second in front of the TV. Ten minutes later I hear Mr. B get out of bed and start rustling around in the bedroom. There was one of those damn stinkbugs in the bed. How the heck did that thing survive the cold outside and how did it get inside?! I was itchy the rest of the night. Stupid bug...

On a lighter note, I did get my Uggs last night. I called Mr. B on my way home and asked him if they came. He said," Yes, and I'm wearing them." I nearly drove off the bridge I was laughing so hard. He said it so matter of factly that I almost believed him. God, I love him :)

Grad School

I just wanted to say that I am so not looking forward to the semester starting next week. I have class on Monday nights from 5-8 and Thursday nights from 5-8. I'm just hoping that neither teacher keeps us the entire time--that would just be torture.

I don't remember if I posted this before, but I got my grade for my last course and I got a 99%. I thought that was just crazy...who gets a 99?! I think he should have given me 100, but it's still an A no matter how you look at it. Hopefully I can keep it up!

Midterm

So I took my midterm last night and I have absolutely no clue how I did. My prof said that it would probably take the full 2 hours...I was done, like completely done, in an hour. I looked around to see if anyone else looked done and they were all furiously scribbling down answers. Crap. I sat there for another 10 minutes and made sure that I had answered all of the questions. I looked around again and no one was done. I spent another 10 minutes looking over my answers and I found one small mistake, but I couldn't find anything else. I scanned the room and still no one looked even near done. Crapx2.

I spent the next 15 minutes trying to look like I was doing something with the test. I couldn't take it anymore so I handed it in. I could feel everyone's eyes on me since I was the first to hand in the test. I handed it to my prof and he started to look it over. Please, please don't do that! I don't need to see the look of disgust on your face when you see how crapily I did. I felt guilty all the way home for turning it in 35 minutes early, but I was done. I ran every damn problem through my head over and over again and I don't think that I would have redone any of them differently. It's not like it's 20% of my grade or anything...

I think I'm actually kind of good at taking tests. I usually don't freak out and I can usually get some form of an answer. I guess that's good. I thought the test was kind of easy, but I guess I'll see next week if he hands them back. Two of the problems were straight from the notes or book...duh...if you didn't get them you're pretty stupid. I definitely didn't study as much as I should, but I knew where everything was and I knew when I saw a problem I had seen before.

Here's to hoping!

Grad School



I forgot how boring going to class was. I had my first grad class last night after work. It's a three hour class, which means that I'm basically at work for 13 hours every Tuesday night. The professor went over 30 minutes, which kind of ticked me off because I didn't get home until 9pm. That meant that I didn't get dinner because I didn't want to eat and then go right to bed. I didn't want to eat and stay up either because I had to wake up at 4:30am today. I know, I'm whining, but I like my sleep and my food!

Good news is that I'm getting three of the four courses that I took at Stevens transferred to PSU. Now my degree should only take me 2.5 more years instead of 3.5. That's good in a way, though because we've already decided that we both want to get our Masters before we even start to think about having kids. 2.5 years should give us plenty of time to save up, find a house, save up some more $$ and then maybe try for some kiddos. That's a LOOONGGG way off...
