sorry, i know it's been a few days since i blogged last but things have been crazy busy here. mondays are ALWAYS busy days, though. anyway, something about today...
as you may or may not know (depending on whether or not you read my away message last night) i went over to david's last night to make brownies for his mom's birthday (he's allergic to the protein in raw eggs so he can't touch them) and to study for my exercise physiology exam. well, i think i left around 11:30 or 11:45...somewhere around there. ok, so i wake up this morning from a HORRIBLE nightmare. turns out, i had a dream about being at david's/leaving david's apartment last night. ok, so i'm leaving and thought about calling someone so i wouldn't have to walk across the parking lot (not very big) to my spot alone. well, i changed my mind because i knew nothing was going to happen...which would make it pointless, plus it was midnight-something and i didn't want to call and wake someone up. anyway, so i walked down the stairs and there were 2 guys at the bottom. i tried not to think anything of it because...well...it's their apartment complex so i figured i'd just get to my car and leave. so i got to the bottom of the stairs and the one closest to the stairs grabbed me by the neck and said something about some girl and where was she and what had i done or something like that. ok, at this point i was hysterical because i (1) didn't know the guys (2) didn't know who they were talking about and (3) wasn't on the phone with anyone so if something happened to me, no one would know...but would anyone care?! anyway, so i was trying to convince the guy that i didnt know what he was talking about and some other guy walked up (i think...it's all kind of blurry now...4.5 hrs later) and the guy that HAD been holding me by the neck told him to mind his own business or whatever. i ran. i knew my car wasn't that far and i already had my keys out so i just ran for it. ...bad idea... he pulled this gun out of nowhere and shot the guy that was trying to make sure i was ok. i screamed. WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO!? i think he shot at me but i was running (not very fast...like in a horror film) away so i was a moving target...and he couldn't shoot me because i'm the main character! anyway, i was running and he shot the guy then started running after me...and caught my foot so i tripped, i think. i don't really remember what happened, but some how i got up and got away enough to get into my car...and then my alarm went off. nice thing to wake up to right before a killer test, huh? NOT SO MUCH!!!
ok, so as for the test...we got to use our books. good. we didn't have to know the krebs cycle. good. we did have to know LOTS of other stuff, though. alright. i didn't know 12 of the questions. bad. IFF i only missed those 12 questions i can still have a 76. not too bad, i suppose. i don't know if i can bring that up to an "A" by the end of semester, though. it's going to be REALLY tough since we only have 2 tests (plus the final). ok...so my exercise physiology class grade is set up like this...3 tests (2 "normal" plus a "final"), 100 points for participation (which i will not receive because i fall ASLEEP in class almost everyday...except today because i was taking a test) and 100 points for our 10 quizzes...which SO FAR are not looking very optimistic for me. *sigh* and i really need an "A" in this class because i don't think i'm going to get an "A" in fundamentals of ESS and...yeah... ok...back to my ex phys grade...assuming that the lowest grade i get on this test is a 76 and i only have 30 out of 40 points on my quizzes, i have to make all 100 participation points, i have to make a 100 on the next test AND the final...just to get an "A". chances? NOT GOOD! *sigh* i know, i know...i should have thought of that earlier. BUUUUT if he lets us use our books on all of the tests, then i might have a chance. i'm going to start doing what he suggested at the beginning of the semester. i'm going to print off all of the powerpoints and bring them to class instead of trying to write everything down. that way, i'm just adding TO his already accurate notes and then i can highlight all that stuff in the book and add the extra stuff into my book ;) and then i'll have everything i could POSSIBLY need in my book for the test...plus i'll read...i hope. yeah...so that's the GOOD, STUDIOUS miree attempting to make the grade. see...had i thought of all this at the beginning of the semester, i'd be just trying to keep my grade up instead of PULLING my grade up. well, i've done it before...maybe i can do it again!? we'll see...
speaking of tests...i have another one on thursday in prevention of disease (over cancer) and one friday (tentatively) in ESS. maybe i should read for those instead of spending so much time online... NAH! prev. of disease isn't going to be too bad. i'll just look over my stuff like i did last time. i got a 94...i can do it again!!! ...i hope...
ok, so the geese here...crazy animals. i think one of our big geese, though, has a limp. it's sad. i think it's the male goose because it has that thing that hangs down...and it's the only one that has one...and it's always making lots of noise and then the other ones follow. AAAND yesterday when i was walking to lab, i saw one of the ducks chase off 3 of the younger ducks (you know, the ones i tell you about sporadically). it was crazy. i wanted to be like, "DON'T LET HIM RUN YOU AWAY!!! STAND UP...THERE ARE THREE OF YOU FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!" but i didn't. i just watched as they ran. aaaaand the squirrels here are going nuts...literally. it's funny to see them chase each other way from their stashes. hahaha
hmmm...i should have more to say...but i don't really.
chris is coming on friday!!! YAY!!!! :-D
i get to see chris b and ann in...*counting*...(december 16 at the latest...i hope...) 73 days. ok, chris, i think it's still a little too soon to start the countdown. maybe we should wait until november?!
