This is the week from hell. I worked all weekend until after midnight, then exam today and tomorrow, two case studies to complete and a presentation to write on top of the typical homework. It’s just overwhelming. I’m sitting here with bloodshot eyes and an aching back from leaning over textbooks constantly. Tomorrow is a [...]

The summer is over, and I shuffle back to school on Monday. My thirteenth semester in school. Bah. I’ve yet to buy my books, I don’t have all my highlighters in a row and my uniform isn’t pressed. I did resolve my financial aid situation, but it really did take all. fucking. summer. Jeebus.
Work has [...]
So much to do…

It’s that time of year again when all the little kiddies start thinking about back-to-school. Even though I am nearly an old fart(tm), I’m one of those little kiddies. This time of year sucks balls, because this is when you have to wade through all the financial aide bullshit and get your grants and loans [...]
New Perspective

I am a different person than I was two weeks ago. I’ve had a lot things change concerning school, all of which are bad. For one, I no longer can receive Stafford loans- I am at my limit (which is $23,000 for undergrad degrees). I didn’t know this until nine days ago. Secondly, I was [...]
A New Day?

I took five days off last week to reflect, catch up on my reading, knit, and mentally prepare myself for the new semester. I saw an amazing miniseries on PBS- Jane Eyre- with Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson. I’m still daydreaming about Stephens’ electric portrayal of Rochester. Yowza. And Wilson- who is a more perfect, [...]
Hyperventilating

The semester ends for me in six days. I am so panicked. I have seven chapters to read and digest between now and then. Took my Anatomy Lab Practical today. I feel pretty confident about it- I’ll find out my score on Friday. There were three questions I am unsure about, but I had some [...]

I survived midterms. Sort of. I had two exams- one I did very well on, the other very badly. In my Anatomy class I had missed several classes because of a two-week-long black period, so I studied my ass off to make up for my missing lectures. I ended up with a 95%. Woot! My [...]

It’s midterm time here at Late Night Knitting. Fall recess to be exact. Two exams next Tuesday and Wednesday. Had my Lab Practical on Thursday 4 October. 95%, thankyouverymuch. I was so depressed leaving the lab after the exam, I hung my head and scuffed my feet, believing for the world that I had bombed, [...]
Fifth time’s a charm

Fifth week of the semester. I had my first exam on Thursday- 86%. I’m slightly disappointed. I studied alot, but my concentration just wasn’t there. Sean, Danielle and the baby visited the Friday before and gave Mom and me a cold, which was at its’ worst on Monday/Tuesday. I still haven’t shaken it off, and [...]
New Semester, Old Fears

I’m a week into my second semester, and I’m feeling a little weird. I feel like my heart isn’t into it, or I haven’t shook off the lazy summer attitude and slid into the rhythm of school life. I’m having a hard time focusing, and I skipped this morning’s lecture. I need to shake off [...]
