Current mood:

satisfied

a moment to breathe.
school is back in session for me starting this past monday. it promises to be an interesting semester...and i do not yet know if that is a good thing or not.

i'm taking intermediate algebra (the final remedial math class), world geography, zoology, and government. so far the only class i am really concerned with is zoology. it's been well over a decade since i had any kind of science class...and i was never all that great in it to begin with. so i am going to really have to work my ass off in that class to do well. i know i can, it will be a matter of applying myself and actually putting the work into it TO succeed. so wish me luck with that.

Phoenix got his glasses wednesday...that's been interesting as well. he's not real keen on 'em...and getting him to leave them on has been kind of a struggle. but honestly, that was expected. and we have a tentative date for his evaluation...it's supposed to be this coming friday and she is going to call me back with an exact time. so maybe we can get him into the PPCD program and get that underway. i hope so.

i am so glad this is a holiday weekend...i need the time to be able to do all the reading i'm supposed to be doing and make sure i understand and remember everything i read. i will do well. i have said this before. but will is a very powerful word when placed into action. and i will. no matter what stress comes, no matter how tired and frustrated and wanting to be unwilling i am...i will. and i'll stop that train of thought before i break out into a chorus of "we shall overcome"...lol

tomorrow we're off to see the fam...i'm making dinner for mom, dad, bro, sis in law, and eric and myself to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday this past thursday. i can't believe she's 50! she certainly doesn't seem like what you would expect a typical 50 year old woman to be. and that's a good thing. i adore my mom....well, both my parents, actually. so that ought to be a good visit. and brother mine, if you read this, we need to talk about oni-con so don't let me forget. lol

alright...i think i have blogged sufficiently...heh.
