Ah, college
May. 7th, 2004 06:19 amHow does that old saying go, about finding muscles you never knew you had? It's totally true.
Yep, the kidneys are still sore, but they're a bit better every day. Yay! And I'm doing research into how to never ever have another stone. Unfortunatly since I passed it, there's no way to tell what kind of stone it was- in other words, there's no way to know what it was made of, which would help a lot in avoiding another one. Or maybe not. My grandfather had a few ages and ages ago, before I was born- they put him on a diet to cut out one kind of thing, and he just ended up with another type of kidney stone.
Anyway, I've also learned it's possible they run in famalies. Thanks, Grandpa.
I'm supposed to be making up the Soc test today that I missed on Friday, but I'm really considering chatting with my teacher about not doing it. She drops the lowest test grade of the semester, and I have an A. And I could use the time to do Wednesday's Algebra homework and start the semester review which is due the day of my Algebra final (aka the 17th.) Am pretty sure Soc teacher will be receptive to this, as she's told me repeatedly I don't need to worry about this test.
I've got to chat with my Algebra teacher about the final when I get a minute, and I really hope she doesn't kill me for missing class Monday. I meant to talk to her about it Wed., but she was surrounded by people asking questions after class, and I didn't want to wait.
School is exhausting, I swear. I'm sure I'd only be a little less tired if I hadn't had a kidney stone this week.
I kind of hate (in a loving sort of way) those of my friends who are through or almost through with their finals. Even though I know most of them will have to start back to school a precious week or two before I will, it still annoys me just a bit. Still love you guys, though.
And I'm almost done. One more week of classes, two finals, and I'm free. 'Course, there's one last chapter test in Algebra next week, not to mention the comprehensive final, which is going to be A Nightmare (caps necessary, trust me) but hey, I have a high pain tolerance, right? I can deal. And at least, unlike half the student population of Fresno City, I haven't given up yet. I swear a bunch of them stopped coming to class weeks ago. Hello? They're certainly going to flunk now, aren't they? Plus, if they think the school is just going to forget about those GE classes, they can think again.
It makes me mad, somehow, when people do this. Like because I've worked all semester to pass my classes, and hung in there through colds and flus and sinus infections and sprained ankles (and bouncing back from a kidney stone), these people who are simply lazy have no right to bitch, or to duck out and throw in the towel and all, and should just, well, suck it up, frankly. If I can do this, they bloody can.
You know what would be really cool? T-shirts with mood statements that people actually paid attention to and respected. Today I could go for something like "Exhausted college student gearing up for finals. Do not approach; extreamly dangerous."
Nah, people are dumb. They'd probably just stand there going "Hey, what's your shirt say?"
