That's Me, Career College Student

Okay, so I couldn't stand it, I was bored and really missed school. Is something wrong with me? Am I insane. Most people spend 12 years trying to get a high school diploma and out of school, me, I am knocking on 20 years at ULM. Good grief!!! Do they offer pension plans for insane career college students?

So I started back yesterday and it wasn't too bad. The professor, Dr. P, is quite unusual, but I've had her twice already so was totally prepared, unlike the rest of the class. They were all looking at her like she was crazy. She likes me thank goodness because if she doesn't, Katie bar the door- she let's you know it on a daily basis. Just ask my friend Kim.
Anyhow, class started at 7:30am so I busted my behind getting there on time (45 min. commute), then she changed the times so we were to be there at 9:00 am this morning. Yahoo!!! Got there on time this morning, but I was high on caffiene...

I had a final that I still had to take from the Spring semester and I just got around to making myself study. It never fails, I always have so much to do when I should be studying, so I procrastinate- my worst vice ever. Anyhow, getting supper on the table, the kids were running around, the phone ringing off the hook, my friend/little sister came over to use my computer, etc., etc. You get the picture, so needless to say, not much studying go done.

Well, it was about 8:45 and I finally started putting my 97 terms and topics on note cards. I learn better when I read it, write it and say it. My darlin hubby who was in a much better mood from the day from hell as he called it- the day before- made me a pot of good strong coffee. Well, I drank and drank and tried to study, but what does he do? He talks and balances the checkbook, does the laundry, wants to discuss why I didn't have the money to pay his truck note yet (can we say $1100 tuition, Syd's birthday and camps out the whazoo)- anyhow, after about midnight, I begged him to go to bed so I could have some peace and quiet.

He did and I got to hitting the grindstone then. That is my best studying, laying on the couch in complete and utter silence. So I tried to go to bed around 2am and I twitched and tossed and shook and trembled until about 4am this morning. Whoooo! What a rush.

I got up, went to class, froze to death in the dreaded arctic classroom and then went to take the FINAL. It wasn't bad, but my hands were still shaking while I was writing. I kept my A in the class, which is all I care about. To have such a terrible undergrad GPA, I have been on a mission to keep my 4.0 graduate GPA and have so far.

Okay, so now I have tons of homework to do and what am I doing? Procrastinating by telling you guys about my day. Better get on it. I have to go get my niece and great-nephew at 5pm. They are staying with me for a couple of days. This should be fun.
