Hellooooo!

So my girls are coming here tonight! Very exciting news!

But… the problem is… Gabriela’s catheter isn’t working properly. It started bleeding on Wednesday. Then they couldn’t dialize her yesterday. So she’s seeing the vascular surgeon right now to see if they can fix whatever the problem is. But it’s scary. I dunno.

The week was kind of hard. Thursday sucked. Bad day all around. Yesterday was better. Today is so-so so far. Well, nothing bad has happened, but the day goes by slowly.

Yesterday I was able to talk to the other Inspector for my location and that helped us figure out what we are doing for the election. Today I have to pick up the supplies and look through them, so that’s exciting. I get to see all these things. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll pick them up later today when my sister goes to Dialysis (if she goes).

The flight gets in at 6:40pm tonight. But no BBQ if my sister has dialysis. We might, then, go to BA Grill. Which would be very yummy too. We’ll have to see. See what happens – the kids attitude, etc.

I finished my finals alright. I know I have an A- in one class and a B in another… *goes to check online* No grades placed online yet, though. I’m fine. Even if I get 1 C it balances out with the A, so I’ll keep my B average. ONE MORE SEMESTER! (summer, we’ll say, doesn’t count)

Now I’m going to entertain myself with something.

Sleep. Nap.

I got up early this morning, after going to sleep late, because my mom wanted to paint the kitchen. But Nikki was awake so we had to wait until she fell asleep. And now I’m soooo tired. I’m laying down… attempting to sleep, but it’s not working too well.

I’ll go get the mail in a minute and then try again. Sooo sleepy!

Hello.

My name is Kathy. Nice to meet you. I am weird.

So… we are painting the ceiling in the kitchen white – and then putting blue on top of the white – so it’ll have a cloud effect. We then have to put the light in. We’ve been without a stable light for probably 2 years. It’s REALLY annoying. But hopefully we can finish it today… and get it done with. Get the light put up before the weekend.

Mika and Camila are coming on Saturday (with my sister, too, of course) and staying for 10 days. I’m very happy about it, too! I’m going to take some days off from work (which I have available – paid). On the 30th we’re going to Universal Studios. So that works out nicely, too. Mika has never been and they have a cute kids area where she can have fun. Some rides where she can go too cause they aren’t roller coaster types. We’ll have fun with her here.

I bought 2 novels at the bookstore yesterday – used up the rest of my B&N gift card from Christmas time. Cheap books, cost me less than $6 for both.

I need to go and recycle cans – but unfortunately it’s raining and I don’t particularly want to do it in the rain. Although it’s just a drizzle right now, it was raining pretty hard last night. If it clears up this afternoon I’ll do it then.

I also need to keep studying for CBEST. Tomorrow I’ll buy the study book for the CSET. There’s one that seems really good – and I might get that one… it comes with a CD with practice tests… and I like that idea.

But I should now go and study… fun times here!

Desperate Housewives.

A whole new story for today. Good shows.

Desperate Housewives rocks.

Makes me inspired to write. But I never have enough time for anything.

Tomorrow I’ll start studying for my finals. I’m sure I’ll do fine in both though.

Now, back to bed. Desperate Housewives til 11pm. 10.5 after that.

I feel good.

I did quite a bit of studying today, and I might do more tonight before bed. I’m feeling better and better about the test. I’d like to take the diagnostic test again to see how I’m doing right now. When I took it when I first got the book (maybe a year ago?) I passed it. Now I’d like to see how I’m doing again. So I need someone to erase any marks I made so that I don’t copy. Or copy the questions.

I was looking at the CSET and it doesn’t seem as hard as people have made it out to be, but I do need to study. And I should buy a study booklet. I have a Cliff Notes one that my friend from work let me borrow, but I’d like to have one that’s my own. I also am not sure if I like this books format. I’ll have to go to Borders on Tuesday and check to see if there are any I like more.

Anything else that’s new? Not really. I haven’t gotten the info to make the site for the class – so… dunno if that’s going to happen or not.

Oh, I got my ticket for the CBEST today. So one less thing to wait for.

I have to call the people that are going to be working the election with me tomorrow… make sure everyone is still showing, etc. AND I have to go pick up the stuff next weekend – I ALMOST forgot about that! Doh! But I remembered, at least. So that’s a very good thing… for me.

Anyone see ER on Thursday… I still feel like talking about it, but I have no one to talk to! Arg! Argentina! I still have a book I’d like to read about Argentina.

Okay… I suppose I’ll go and do something else now.

Long Day

I’ve had the entire week come down on my shoulders today. I had a bad day. It was just bad. I felt sick all day, although not physically.

My mind needs a break and it won’t be coming soon – and I think that’s worse than not having it.

I studied for the CBEST today for a bit of time, and it was fine. It’ll be an easier test than I think, but the CSET will suck.

AHHH!

I need this to be all over!

ER

EVIL! They are always EVIL!

It was a good episode. I wasn’t expecting what happened. At all. I wish I had someone to talk to about what happened, but I don’t really know anyone who watches it anymore. But it was good. I am satisfied with the season finale. But it’s going to be long summer!

I had all these things I wanted to write about last night, but my computer was off already and I was tired, and now I have no idea what these things were.

I’m going to take some days off work when Mika and Camila are here. We’re going to go to Universal Studios with her, too. It’ll bed fun.

Today, I believe, I will start studying for the CBEST. I need to do it. More than that I need to study for the CSET as well.

Summer: writing for the paper. 2 articles per week! NOOOO! I don’t want to do that! I am tired of school!

It’ll be different when I start working on my credential – it’ll be another subject… different classes, etc. So it’ll work fine. Or at least I hope so.

My issue right now is actually getting things done with. I want this semester to be over, the work semester over and the tests over. AND summer school over. I want vacation and to just start next semester. My LAST semester.

I’m such a mess right now.

I think this post proves that.

Hot & Tired

After work I went to the library and did the majority of my notes on index cards – so then I can study them easily.

I came home, hung around… and then we went to the mall. After the mall we came back and went walking to the supermarket. Just got back from there. I’m sweaty, hot and tired. Time for rest!

But I shall be watching House in half an hour, so I shall stay up until it is done recording so I can watch it. I did get several books at the library, so I can read one while I wait.

*yawn*

I am tired. I didn’t go to sleep until 11 last night because of the apprentince. Not liking where that is heading.

I have some extra credit that I’m going to try and get done today as well as make flashcards for my final in international news media. I’m going to go to the library after work and work on that (although I fear it’s going to be full of kids! Grr, hate kids!).

Costs. The air bag light has been going on in my car and so I need to take it in to Mazda. $135 to diagnose the problem. Plus whatever the problem is. Yea, I really feel like paying that. I feel like not really caring whether my air bag works or not. I’ll die anyway if I crash. I only need the car for another couple of years, then I can find a way to buy myself a new car… somehow. I can’t afford it now – and it’s not worth it now.

Anyway… off I go to work. Lots of fun stuff going on there!

I can tell from now.

The next semester is not going to be easy.

I have this incredible feeling that the next 9 months of my life are going to be the most difficult that I have been through work and school wise.

Summer school especially. I only get a week break between the end of the semester and the beginning of summer classes. Luckily it’s only 1 class, 2 times a week for 2 1/2 hours and not 3 hours. I suppose, also that it won’t be something difficult in being there the entire time. I know at least 2 people taking the class – so that’s a definite plus.

I feel as though I don’t have a summer break – and I know normally people don’t get a summer break, but they aren’t normally doing a million things at once. It’s too much for me to handle and I can feel the anxiety and stress of it building up.

I finished the things for the online class so right now I only have my finals, the website (Which I can’t do until I get the things from the professor) and the semester project which I turn in on Wednesday night and is basically completed. I go in, turn it in, and go home, so it’s fine.

But until I have this semester out of the way I’m going to continue feeling like everything is flying out of control. Add to that my feeling on next semester and the fact that I’m not registered yet, and it gets worse. I have to take 2 tests for the credential program and I have no time to study for it. In addition to the tests I have a million other little things I need to do to get into the credential program. Yea it doesn’t have to be done until October 1st, a bit over 4 months away, but I still feel like the date is right around the corner and I won’t be able to get everything done in time.

AHHH! This isn’t really helping either. I just need this and next week to be over with… then at least I’ll have this semester out of the way and I can worry about next semester and the tutorial. AHH!

Okay, I’m going to eat lunch, go to class and then talk to my advisor about the tutorial she gives… something about teaching journalism to high school students (Which, I see, would provide me even less time of my own time!)

Bye.
