yet another in class update
Gosh, I am the worst student ever! Here is yet another update from my research class, because I would rather blog than listen to lectures on research methods in social work.
I’m feeling a little bit better about my prognosis this quarter, gradewise. I got 11/15 on my research questionnaire, which isn’t amazing, but let’s be honest, is passing, so I’ll take it. I talked with my group members about our project due next Friday, and I feel much better about the amount of work that I have done, as well as my encounter with my group member Wednesday night. I think a lot of the confrontation had more to do with her being worried about her own grade, and less to do with me, and I can understand that concern. I would’ve handled it differently, but c’est la vie. No biggie; I think we’re good.
I am still having a really hard time getting up in the morning. I have a couple of potential reasons for that. First, being in the first days of a new Lithium prescription has left me kind of wonky. Sleepy, lessened appetite, kind of nauseous. Also, my back has been in a lot of pain these last couple of days, so I’ve been utilizing the Percocet I got a couple of weeks ago. I think the combined efforts of the two have left me a little SLEEPY.
I am coming up on the last week of class, and I have never been so happy to see the end of a quarter in my life. I am tired. And I can’t wait to have a day to clean my room without having to worry about homework/class in the morning. I’ll still be working both at my job and at my internship over the break, but I think it will be an easier schedule nonetheless.
I finally wrote the outline for my paper on AIDS and the GLBT community, so I feel a lot better. It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around such a huge concept without an outlinen to guide me. Also, once I have the outline it’s a lot easier to flesh the paper out in a day. So I feel a lot better about that.
My mom and I are going to see Tegan and Sara on Monday, and I am very excited about that. My mom has never listened to them before, so I hope that she likes them. It should be a lot of fun. Good bonding time for us. I wish I were getting paid before the concert, but I’m not, so I’ll just have to be broke. Ah well.
We heard from Bryan the other day. He called my mom at work. He’s really enjoying boot camp (weirdo), and has even had time to post a new picture on his myspace.
Sorry for the novel. I think I tend to write more when I’m trying to tune out boring lectures on research. Ugh. Bad student.
