When it rains it pours..
So, the only way for me to get an A in my HR class is to get 180 points combined on my last 2 tests, which is impossible as the average for these tests is a low C, and the highest I've ever gotten was an 88, once. Also, I'm still in pain from my wreck, the insurance company has yet to get back to me to let me know when they are going to fix my sisters car and how much it will cost me, and, oh yes, My grandpa has been diagnosed with Huntington's Disease. A terminal illness.
I know the first two things are stupid compared to the last, but they are just 2 more things piling up on top of the big thing. I'm really stressed, and especially with pregnancy hormones I have no idea how much longer it will be before I break down and have a good venting/crying session. Pray you aren't around for it.

WTF
Okay, so I was averaging my grades (assuming that I don't for some reason go from above a 90% in either of my classes to below 90%) and that freaking B in my HR class pulled my GPA from a 3.85 to a 3.81. WTF. I know, I know, It's only .04 percent, but still!
That was an advanced class, and nobody told us it was an advanced class when we (my sister and I) registered, and we got the highest grades in the class, which goes to show how hard this class was (everyone else took the basic class first), and now it's messing up my GPA! GRR!!
Plus, I had my stent out today, and that was not fun. They used liquid cocaine ("Not enough to travel" as the nurse put it) to numb me down there, though I'm extremely sensitive, and of course it hurt like a mother, and it made me bleed again, and my pain pills don't work.
I also have an extreme headache that is progressing into a migraine, and I still have math homework to do, and I have to study my chapter 10 test that I took the day after my surgery and got a D on. I've never gotten a D before! So I'm going to retake it tomorrow but I have to study (and not take pain medicine) before I take it. I'm supposed to be on my pain medicine for a few more days now, butI can't take it tomorrow if I plan on taking this test, because tomorrow is the last day I can re-take it. GRR!

WOO HOO!!
I am done with my HR class! I ended up with 382/450, which, I believe, is a B - and I will take it! I also got an A in one of my other online classes, and as long as I get a 7/15 on my final report project (which I did turn in today at school) I'll get an A in my other online class. As of now I'm done with my online classes.
I have math class on Wednesday (section 11.8) and Friday (review for final), and my math final is Monday, May 7th. I have to turn in my final draft of my literature essay for english, and my english final is Wednesday, May 9th. So I'm almost done with this semester.
Of course I have signed up for the Maymester (ECON 2301 - Principles of Economics), Summer 1 (BUSI 1301 - Introduction to Business), and Summer 2 (BMGT 1303 - Principles Of Management), but at least I'll have all of these classes done before the Fall semester rolls around - that's almost a full Fall/Spring semester course load.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go spend some time with my husband that I've been neglecting due to coursework overload. :)
P.S. - My website is (sort of) up. Go check it out ( LaceyCook.com ) and leave some comments here on any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/props/etc! :)

Two can be as bad as one..
Well I did one of my HR tests today, and my mom is coming back into town tomorrow to help me do that. As of right now I have 306 points and you can only get 450 points in the class, which means I only need 54 more points to get a B (Or, 55 to get a low A). I think I did the math right.
Here's the grading system: 450 points total. 450/5 = 90; 90 - F, 180 - D, 270 - C, 360 - B, 450 - A (which I would be thrilled with). Praying for an A, though most likely will get a B which would also be awesome.
I also forgot to have my mom fax my project, but I just now, as I'm typing this, remembered I can drop it off at the teachers office tomorrow when I'm on campus, so I'll do that and be done with it.
I also have to print off my English paper to take to class for a peer-edit. You could choose from continuing one of the short stories we read in class, telling one of the short stories from another point of view, choose a song and analyze it like we did poems in the class, or one other thing that I forget. I chose to analyze the song 'You Were Mine' by the Dixie Chicks (while not a fan of their political views, I still enjoy their music). I think I did okay, certainly not my best work but I couldn't find a song I really liked that I could analyze for three pages.
Also, my brother has my cell phone (took it with him when he went with Ryan to wal-mart and forgot to give it back) so if you try to call me and I don't answer that is why.

one, two, three, four, come on baby say you love me..
Well I didn't do my HR stuff yesterday but I am doing it today. I mostly just goofed around all day yesterday. But these things have to be done by May 4th which gives me only 5 days so I need to get it done. Same with the fax thing.
I was looking at pets online last night and I want a dog so bad. :( But Ryan won't let me get one. He says I can't get one until we get a house and he doesn't want a house anytime soon, so no doggie anytime soon. :(
I'm getting a little tired of the people on WoW (World of Warcraft), nobody seems to understand that it is an online game, and that some of us don't have time to do the big group raids that they want everyone to do; some of us like to play the game to relax after a hard day. I personally do not want to be yelled at because i didn't heal someone in time and they died. It is a game. Get over it. Geez.
I also have math homework to do, and an english paper I have to turn in for a peer edit tomorrow. Yuck. Oh well. Only one more week of classes then I am 4 classes closer to finishing my degree.

We're going for a record here..
So I don't believe my pain medicine is working as it should; either that or I really hurt myself with all the walking around I did yesterday. My abs are so sore right now - the entire stomach, not just where the stent is. My arms are also very sore but that's from not sleeping very well.
Hopefully I will be finishing my HR class today. I'm praying for a C so I can move on from it. I think I may just get my degree in mgmt and not HR as this course may need to be repeated in the future.
I also plan to ask my mom to go fax my report for me since I'm supposed to be on bedrest so I can be done with that class. She'll be coming into town today to help me finish my HR classes and maybe she can do it on her way out.
Also, completely unrelated, but I want to start going to church on a regular basis, and I plan to start reading the bible again. I've been feeling a bit lonely/strange lately and I believe it's due to my not paying much attention to my religion, so I'd like to start being more (no pun intended) faithful to it.
