Exhausted

I am rather exhausted today. I was up late last night with my sick son, then I woke up early because he was sick some more. An hour after that he informed me that it hurt too much to eat and since he had only had liquids since yesterday morning I checked his throat and noticed how incredibly red it was and I thought I saw white spots so I spent a couple of hours waiting to get him checked before the doctors office closed. Thankfully he doesn't have strep throat. Now that I have my son settled and I am secure in knowing that he is not sicker then he seems I am able to focus on my Finals Week. I still have work for each of my classes to do, not a lot for most of them, but still some. The most work I will be doing is going to be in one of my English classes. I wrote an 8 page pager, and this last thursday I had a meeting with the teacher so that he could help me with my paper. He gave me a really awesome suggestion, which I fully intend to take, but in order to follow that suggestion I will be writing at least half of my paper over again, and doing more research. Honestly, it's worth it, plus I was happy to see that my teacher was intrigued with the topic of my paper. It is hard to know what to write a final paper on when they say, here are 4 stories or 1 poem, and 6 different critic styles, choose a story or the poem, and a critic style and go with it. I like being able to do that, but at the same time I worry that I'm not doing it right. I am happy to say that I didn't entirely do it right, but that I wasn't too far off of what was wanted, so in my mind, I have definitely improved since the beginning of school, and now I have different ways to critic a subject and write about it. I really like being able to do that.

As I said I have more in all of my classes. In one of my favorite classes, I just have to finish up a few of my web pages and make sure the whole website is responsive to different sizes. I have other little projects to do, but they are small compared to that one. In one class I need to finish fixing my portfolio work and submit it. In another class I have a New Testament exam on Tuesday (wish me luck), and on Wednesday I have my final exam for my beginners Geology class. This semester was full of awesome classes, amazing teachers, and a great learning environment. I am sad to see this semester end because I really enjoyed my classes and the people in them, but I am also ready to learn new things and meet new people. I hope everyones finals prove fruitful.

Good Luck with your finals!

Sickness and Finals Week can't keep me down.

Hola mi amigos,
I hope everyone is having a good evening. I am having a pretty good day. My youngest son came home early from school today because he was sick, but other than that it has been a pretty awesome day. I bought those twisty balloons to make balloon animals, and it had a hand pump in the package. After dinner I gave those balloons to my sons and let them have fun, it turned into a whole family affair once my husband came home from studying. It was pretty fun to play with the balloons and watch the shocked expressions when one would accentually pop. Truthfully, it was mostly my face that made that expression since my balloons kept popping on me. We made swords, since all I have are boys that makes total sense, and we made guns, that didn't really look like guns, but we claimed they did so that no one felt bad. My finals are coming along and I am hopeful that my hard work will pay off. So as a tribute to that thought here is a Yay picture in advance of knowing the final grade outcome to all of my classes.

And I wanted to share another picture just because I really liked the look of it:

Well I'm off to take care of my sick son, but I hope everyone has a great night, an awesome weekend, and an amazing finals week next week. 

Adios.

Finals Week

Finals week can be both exhilarating and truly frustrating. I find that I like the extra challenge of putting together what I've learned throughout the year, but usually by the time finals week comes I have put in so much effort that I am exhausted. As silly as this sounds the thing for me that makes finals week unbearable would be those stinking mosquitoes. I have always disliked mosquitoes but living here where there are so many, and some are extremely aggressive has taught me how much I really hate those suckers. When I think of fighting cockroaches that fly and are the size of a humming bird, I think 'bring it on', but mosquitos has me running away and screaming like a little girl about the scary bug.

Testing!

Testing, testing, one, two, three.
