last final tomorrow.. [17 Dec 2006|07:14pm]
[ mood | sad ]

so today i've been studying with sam for our accounting final. i've been studying my butt off for the last week.. i dunno how i'm gonna do though. i feel really comfortable with all the problems in the text book and study guide. it's tomorrow at 10:30, i can't wait to get this over with.

so i got an A- in english, B+ in econ, B in business law.. and failed math. well, i stopped going after the 2nd exam because the prof sucked so bad.. i feel like i was set up to fail. who gets As and Bs and then oh, a fucking F???? mason needs to get with the program on its math teachers. either way it sucks seeing an F on my transcript but i have a better professor lined up for this spring so that will be replaced next semester. my gpa is down to a 3.03. that sucks.

so jeremy gave me money to get a gift certificate for his mom's birthday and with all this studying i have to do i figured i'd get it when finals were over.. and it was really for her birthday, which is tomorrow. i thought the gift certificate was her christmas present. i totally screwed up and feel horrible. i apologized and explained and he said he and his brother are just gonna go down there tonight and get her one. he didn't even say anything like, 'it's ok' he was just like, 'yea this sucks.' ugh, i just didn't know. i didn't mean to screw up :(

it's weird how i always do anyway.

so today went well. the preliminaries were gay - there were like 200 people milling around trying to get on problems, so it was stuffy and smelly and it sucked. but i made the finals, so it was good. i felt like i didn't try my best in the preliminaries. a lot of the problems i did, i walked, and was like, was that it? at the end. climbing is so very mental, so i don't think i had the right mindset. no, i take it back, i definitely had the wrong mindset going into the comp.

the finals were absolutely great. we had 5 minutes to climb the problem, 5 minutes to rest. there were 3 problems, and the first was like a v5, the 2nd a v6, and the 3rd was a v7. i think. at least that's what it felt like. but i flashed the first one, got to the 2nd to last hold on the 2nd one, and got halfway on the 3rd. the problems were very good - they were perfectly graded - as in they got slightly harder each time, and then right girls got the right score on them all. very good comp.

i loved the finals.. i was thinking how much i hated competing in the prelims, but the finals.. you get to sit there and relax, chill out for a bit, climb, chill out a bit more, climb... chill, climb. and that's it. like, there's nobody crowding you, you get your own chair, all that is in front of you is the problem (all the holds around them were stripped so it's easier to see). i loved it because i could climb and do my personal best and be in my own zone. so i got to sit and look, figure out the beta, and just climb. if i fell off, i got to stare at it, see where i went wrong, take a break and some water and get back on it. it was a really good feeling. unfortunately, being in isolation i wasn't able to watch the guys climb. oh well..it was kinda cool though, magazines were there taking pictures, there was a huge crowd cheerin - just a very, very good time.

so today was okay.. saw an advisor about my classes. i feel a lot better about what's going on now. i'll still be able to take a full course load to get credits out of the way. so, i'm not really as behind as i thought. i walked out of there with a little more air in my tires..

after that i picked up some lunch for me and jeremy and spent the day at sportrock with him. we worked on my paper due for english, and bummed around together. such a nice day :) we were talking about what we want to do, how i have no clue what i want to do, and possibilities. he's thinking about massage therapy, i don't know if i want to do that.. i was thinking about that at one point - but it's too in the PT realm. and i don't want anything to do with that anymore.

i was able to put my reason for not doing PT into words finally. basically, not only did i begin hating the classes.. but i had always put such faith in PT because i had seen such amazing things from it. in the PT office i worked in i saw such broken people get fixed. but then my neck got hurt, and i've been through 3 rounds of PT and i'm not better. i started to hate being around all those hurt people, and then i became one of them, and PT wasn't doing for me what it was doing for other people - i didn't want to be around it anymore. does that make any sense? it's hard to explain..

either way, my mom brought up some ideas. she suggested for next summer i try to poke around and get an internship at some kind of PR firm downtown.. i think over winter break i'm going to look into that. i mean, if i do or don't, i can take summer classes.. i might prefer doing that while i figure out what's going. or will having an internship somewhere help me figure things out? i don't know, i don't know, i don't know.

last night climbing was real good, i was definitely killin it. it was weird, thu wasn't getting as mad as normal when i was getting farther than her on problems. i think she's mellowed out and realized that she shouldn't be so competitive. oh well..

tomorrow morning i have to meet with my goddamn english group. i'm going to be so glad when this class is over.

econ started last night.. summer classes suck so bad. i don't care what anybody says, they are just as hard if not harder as regular year-long classes. you have to learn the same crap and do the same shit, except you have less time to do it. blah. but at least i find this stuff interesting.. it actually makes sense to real life. unlike.... CHEMISTRY. yay.

so, been doing homework all day and saw jeremy during a little break.. couldnt decide where to eat so we're just going to have a sleep over 'cause i still had hw to do.. i hate having all this work due the same day he leaves for an entire week. this sucks.

kim is so bad about returning phone calls.. it's pretty fucking annoying.

more homework..

me, kim, deren, and jeremy went to deren's lake house on sunday til yesterday - we got back real late last night after the fireworks. we used their pontoon boat to sit out right underneath them over the lake.. it was really cool.

unfortunately, i'm back here at reality at mom's house and she makes me want to kill myself. already, we 'have to talk' about things on her mind and blah blah blah. she never stops talking about stuff! she makes me depressed.

i also lost my planner so i don't really know when my appointments are. ugh.

so, PT was AMAZING. i'm really optimistic this time.. those kaiser PTs were like a bunch of monkeys in a big cage compared to these people. ima go eat lunch now, then help jeff move, and i'm gonna be exhausted.

today was exciting, i went to maryland with my dad and ross to see my cousin valerie perform in 'king lear'. i met her, anita, and richard for the first time pretty much. it's nice to know i have some family - and they're great! so nice, funny, and smart.

after the play we got dinner and i finally just got in 10 minutes ago.

the play was kinda boring, but it was probably amazing for those who like shakespeare.. the last 20 minutes got rained out anyway.

time for bed.. i have my doctor appmt for my neck tomorrow morning! yayayaya i might finally get healed!!

jeremy slept over last night, and today i saw a career advisor to kinda start making sense of what i'm trying to do here. tomorrow i'm going to clean up my resume, and then i'm going to bring it in for them to look over. i'm kinda glad i don't do much at work, 'cause then i can read my spanish book and kinda learn somethin. one of my friends at work agreed to teach me how to play guitar too - so i'm kind of excited about that. if that doesn't happen, i'm going to ask my mom to pay for guitar lessons for my burfday. :) i've been wanting to learn forever, and now that i have the time, i'm not gonna waste it.

after getting stuff done, i went over to kimi's for taco tuesday with red and sarah.. it was a lot of fun! jeremy's coming over again in a little. i'm so bummed about not being able to climb, i gotta find other stuff to keep me happy, right?

i've been busy lately.. trying to get little things here and there tied up, going out with friends, mostly jeremy, and working. i got my job back lifeguarding, but i'm not managing. i don't want to deal with politics and/or karl kirtley. plus, all the other managers are morons and i'd rather not have to put up with them on a daily basis.

i saw an advisor, and looks like i'll graduate in an extra year with the marketing stuff. i could get a minor in biol, but i don't think i really care enough to. whatever makes me happy, right? i'm really just working on de-stressing my life and really making things simpler. i may even quit the whole lawsuit business - my parents can afford my treatment and it just makes me upset to even think about what's going on with it.

i can't wait until kimi and i move into our new apartment - i'm counting down to august 8th. i have a lot of trips planned until then so i'll be spending as little time home as possible. we'll see how things go :)

today jeremy and i were at the pool with his brother and sister - we got yelled at for doing something indecent.. apparently the manager 'saw exactly what we were doing'. dumb bitch.. jeremy and i were like, um, what were we doing? but she ran off before i could get out of the water and argue at her. whatever.

gonna get ready to go to champp's with sarah and kimi.

i actually thought about how much i love jeremy and i started to cry. why does that happen?

greg never wants to talk to bailey again.. i think it's a sign of immaturity on his part... he thinks that she's being a bitch, and she's not.. she's just going about her life, and she seems to be healing at her own pace. i'm glad i never dated him..

so i finally heard from koki, thank goodness. she had lost her cell phone a while back and didn't have my number, and i didn't leave it for her to call me back. i'm glad i emailed her though, 'cause she had never gotten my email address this summer either. she's going to write my recommendation!! yayayay! this is exciting for me, you have no idea. it kinda motivates me to really get off my ass this summer and get some work/volunteering done so that i can get more recommendations and less reasons for any PT schools to turn me away. haha. but speaking of PT school..

i really don't think i want to go there anymore. i'm so tired of school.. i hate school. PT school is a million times worse than this, and i don't know if i can handle it.. even if i could handle it, i don't think i want to. i mean i'll still aspire to get into school.. for the sake of going to a professional school and getting educated so i can get a really good job.. but i'll have a solid biology degree.. i think there would be some other options for me that i'm just not able to picture right now. who knows?

jeremy spent the night, and now i've GOT to get to work. it's so frustrating 'cause he's always running off with our friends to go climbing or to do something fun.. and i can't, 'cause i have to study. like, not this weekend - but the next - they're all going to new river gorge, and i'll be here studying for finals. ugh.

[ mood | bitchy ]

yea, so my finger is to remain splinted for as long as necessary (4-6 weeks) and i'm taking some sweet pain killers... too bad they have drowsy side effects, guess i'll have to make even MORE coffee. and yea, no climbing for a very, very long time. wow, how pathetic. not to mention miserable.

so, guess this means running every day, less food, no alcohol.

not like that'll be a bad thing.. but im no good with constraints.

also, finally got a referral for PT and i'll be starting that ASAP... maybe i'll even learn something.

cell bio, keynote speaker on "everyday forms of whiteness" or whatever, then lab, then chemistry study group alllllll niiiiiiight long.
