Bad Day.

Ugh, what a hideous day.

Got an awful biology test score, my first bad one of the semester. I am humbled. I aced the others no problem. What really got to me was that I got the answers right, but many were still marked wrong. But I'm not allowed to ask any questions about the exam - I have to submit it all in writing and she'll consider looking at it again. I guess it's worth it, I'm just really discouraged, because as nice as I try to be to my Professor, she is always so rude and plain mean to me. She picks favorites, and you can tell as she helps me versus someone else - the tone in her voice, the way she reacts, etc. I know life isn't fair, and I should probably just count my losses, but I'm just so taken aback by the way she treats me and how there is nothing I can do about it. Just survive, I guess. Next semester is going to be awful, but I hear the rest of the BIO teachers at VCC are worse. It's going to be a long senior year. I was counting on an A in this class, but with this exam score looks like a B. I don't know how I'm going to get a good GPA this semester, which sucks. I'm disappointed in myself - I feel like I've failed this year. I wish I could do better, but I'm pouring so much time and effort in as is, it feels like I have nothing else to offer.

Meanwhile, my nose started running enough to power a small waterfall, and by the time I got done with classes today, my head ached, my mind was foggy, my nose stuffy and runny at the same time, scratchy throat, coughing, you name it. How awful.

Today is just one of those off days and I really hope it gets better the rest of this week. Laters...

FIRST DAY OF COLD-NESS!!!

Okay firstoff, I think I am addicted to blogging. (Note below as proof).

Secondly, this is the actual point of this post.

It's cold today!!!

Tuesday and Thursday brought in a flurry of cold-storm rain that left behind a very brilliantly windy, refreshingly cold, Florida. No, we don't have colorful fall leaves, we don't have snow, we don't even have hills, for goodness sakes.

But it is cold.
And thus that is all that matters.

I celebrated by wearing a winter sweater for the first time in months. I also attempted to drive to publix in order to get a very particular brand of face lotion stuff I reallyyy wanted to get.

I couldn't find it.

I went to CVS.

They didn't have it.
I'm trying Walmart next.
Walmart has everything.
For cheap, friendly prices (or that's something how like their slogan goes).

I need to finish filling out college apps and scholarship apps first, though, so I'm holding myself hostage at home until I do. Hopefully that won't take that long, because I am headed to the mall later. This is the first free Friday I have had in WEEKS!!!

Yippee.
I'll study for chem later.

Until then, fair blog-readers, we shall meet again. So long for now.

Me in my winter sweater-ness!

Update on BSC1010 Survival Tips

Looks like I'm going to have to get on good terms with Monster-teacher, err, I mean Ms. Schumpert.

Unless I want to wake up at 6 to get to class every Tuesday and Thursday, looks like she's the only professor available (besides worse ones).

It all comes down to the life changing decision of,

To sleep in, or not to sleep in?

...

Sleep in. Def.

Hola, Mrs. Schumpert!

BSC1010 Survival Tips

My biology professor is not very nice.

In fact, she's hideously mean.

If she met a monster and the two were to fight, Ms. Schumpert would win.

Yesterday she asked me a question and I answered.

I might as well have said,

"You look like a rapist", or, "I am wearing potato chips in my socks today." (Note: I was not wearing socks that day). Afterwards, I was told that I was part-right, but I was still wrong, and I was not to answer with that answer again.

If you have a hint of doubt in your voice, Monster-teacher will yell at you. You are not allowed to guess the answer to a question you don't know, even though she asked it, and has yet to teach you what the answer is.

She asks if you have any questions, and if you have a question, she will yell at you.

Survival Tips for BSC1010:

- do not ask questions.
- do not answer questions.
- sit in the back of the room, as far away as possible, and do not draw attention to yourself.
- do not try to defend yourself if attacked. monster-teacher always wins.

This semester, I will spite monster teacher, by acing her class, thus defeating her.

She may yell at me, but she will not win!

Life is a maze, love is a riddle

What better way to get into the studying mood than to listen to some music?

The Show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot to be something I'm not
I'm a fool out of love 'cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs and synchronize in time
It's a joke nobody knows, they've got a ticket to the show

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go, can't do it alone
I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down
I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show
I want my money back, I want my money back
I want my money back, just enjoy the show.

Late-Nights and Sniffle Noses

Exactly what it sounds like.

Well, still fighting an attack via-cold on my immune system, and I'm looking forward to a long day of studying when I wake up, and a long Thursday. Thankfully, though, it rained today for the first time in weeks, and it's supposed to get a little cooler this weekend, a nice reprieve from the heat. I plan to go out and buy some winter clothes sometime this week when I have a free moment.

It will be nice to have a little bit of a break this weekend. Only one job - it's a slow week after Halloween, which means I won't be making much money, unfortunately, but it's nice to have a day off every once in a while.

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and visiting Macon again! I'm leaving right after school so I can get there and have as much time to stay as possible, then 3 more weeks and school is over for the semester - then just one semester left of Valencia to go. SO excited to finally graduate. It's about time, seeing as it's felt like I've been graduated since 2009 when I started at VCC. But no matter.

Well, I'd love to stay up, but I really need to be off to bed. I'll leave a song I like lately (liking the Tennyson influence they have going on in the video):
