Finals Week Update.

This picture represents not even all of the flash cards that I have to memorize for my Statistics Final on Tuesday. I almost started crying when I realized, that after making over 184 flash cards, I was only 75% finished.

If I survive the next seven days it will be a miracle... 

I also almost started crying when I came across this picture on Tumblr yesterday. Seriously. I am completely inept at anything and everything mathematical. I am a history wiz. So when I saw that this statistical figure involved a dinosaur (or it could even be Nessie) I wanted to die. If I, instead of browsing the internet all semester, listened to the lessons and turned each concept into something I am interested in (i.e dino's/seemingly mythological creatures) I would probably be in a lot better shape for my test right now... and I wouldn't be on the verge of many many tears. Good thing is that if there is a question on the test about the extended bell curve, I will probably be able to replicate this picture; and maybe even get the question right. But the sights are slim.

Today the parking attendant (who was a girl) said "Thank you sir." very flirtatiously I might add. This made me very insecure. Maybe it was my short hair that confused her... But I will add that I was wearing my very feminine sunglasses...

I had a dream the other night that I ate 6 different swirl ice cream cones at the same time and held each one in one of my six arms. It was great.

Today I wore my most favorite shoes. Jelly shoes!!! I don't care what anyone says... they are amazing. I got them about 5 years ago at the dollar store for, well, A DOLLAR! and I wore them constantly. Then after a long time they started breaking and I stopped wearing them. I could never bring myself to throw them out, because I always hoped for a day when I would wear them again. Today was that day, and it was marvelous. 

Today was my last day of classes. The next week and half are finals! I am so stressed. Also I got sick. It never fails... I get sick just about every four months and it always happens around important events in my life. So I went to the store and bought tons of medication & cool touch klenex. They are very cool.

Short Skirt Long Jacket- Cake

Theory: This song is about Shania Twain. She totally wears a short skirt with a long jacket in her Man I feel Like A Woman music video. Correct me if ’ wrong…

Would you believe me if I said that I am going to see them live tonight? Well it is true. And I am probably an idiot for going, seeing as I have a major final tomorrow morning. 

You can see where my priorities are.

Finals Week.

I am already freaking out. Every night as I lie in bed just about to fall asleep I remember all the things that I have to do this week. My eyes burst open and I lay there trembling with fear. I would punch myself in the face for not getting things done earlier, but I am frozen with fear and regret. This always happens. Always. I never learn from my mistakes. I never learn that procrastination only makes you stressed, weak, and prone to sickness.

I would have just punched my self in the face for writing a blog post instead of an essay but I was frozen with fear and regret. Also… That self inflicted injury might make me NOT be able to write my essay. Maybe not. Because right now my body is pretty weak due to my procrastination and stress.

Oh. Such a vicious cycle.

If you don’t hear from me by Friday… I have probably died.

Wish me luck.

This Day.

You will not believe the day I have had…. I can’t even believe it.

7:40- Alarm goes off. Hit snooze.

7:50- Alarm goes off. Hit snooze.

8:00- Alarm goes off. Hit Snooze.

8:10- Alarm goes off. Hit snooze.

8:20- Alarm goes off. Dismiss. Lay there for 5 min with one leg out of the blankets to wake me up.

8:25- Realize that I am going to be late for school if I don’t hurry. Run to the shower. 

9:00- Grab a granola bar and head out the door.

9:05- Driving. My car is making a weird noise. Every bump I hit sounds louder then normal. Kinda like my window is open but it isn’t. I attribute it to the newly tarred roads. I then turn up the volume of my music to drowned out the sound… (what an idiot.)

9:15- See Ben’s co-worker get pulled over by a cop on the twisty road.

9:20- Go 70mph on the highway.

9:30- Park and get out of my car. A gentleman informs me that my tire is flat. I look at it and see that he is in fact right and that my tire has absolutely no air in it. Decided that there is nothing I can do about it now. Must get to class. Review for final.

11:00- Get out of class. Freak out because I forgot about the map test on my final later in the day. Decided again that I cannot fix my tire. Ben says he will come change it.

11:00 to 1:00- Memorize the names and locations of every country in the world. Sucky.

1:00- Go to the cafeteria for lunch and get hit on by a creepo. He asked me where I got my jacket. I say “Why? Do you want one?” He laughs and says I am funny. I grab my food, run, and hide in a corner so he can’t come sit with me. I watch him look around for me from my corner behind a plant. I couldn’t cut my roast beef. The mash potatoes were not that good.

1:30 to 2:30- Study like crazy.

2:30 to 3:30- In Physical science class trying to study for my final and pay attention to the lecture on the Solar System (the one day that I am actually interested in the lesson is the day that I have to study for another class..). Unsuccessful.

3:30- Go give Ben my keys so he can fix my tire.

3:30-4:00- Back to class.

4:00 to 4:10- Go see how Ben is doing only to discover that he and several other random people can not get my tire off the car. It was rusted on. 

4:10 to 5:00- Back to class. Ben texts me and says that they gave up and that we will have to drive it to a tire place.

5:00 to 6:00- Take final. Get an A. Eat donuts and apple cider. (The gem of my day.)

6:00- Get picked up by Courtney and Ben. Go to my house and eat mac & cheese and watch Happy Days.

We plan to wake up extra early tomorrow morning and go get my car. Fill the tire (not my butt (inside joke)) with fix a tire filler stuff and drive it to Big O Tires to get it fixed.

I am not looking forward to tomorrow morning. So I’ll be going to be early tonight… Good night

Test This.

This is another one of those time where I wish that I could control time with the clench of my fist. As much as I am begging for this week to end, I am also kinda freaking out about the lack of time I have to get stuff done. Completely my fault though. I procrastinated…

Oh and by the way… WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW?! I should be writing my essay, but instead I am procrastinating and writing a blog post…. I am an idiot. My reasoning is that I need a break, but I have only written a page of my 6 page essay…. 

Today after I studied my butt off for my D&C test I discover that I did not get the grade I was hoping for. I was pretty depressed. I could go on all night about how much I knew all the information that was on the study guide but wasn’t actually relevant to the test, but I won’t because I do not want to dwell on my failure ( I didn’t fail… I got an ok grade… but I feel like a failure.) So I finally get home from school and I am standing in front of my microwave waiting for my soup to be done and thinking (more like worrying) about my essay and my World Civ. test, and I literally pouted and said out loud “I quit. I am dropping out.” Man I am such a baby! Then I got my soup out and walked upstairs (because the cable in my basement doesn’t work and that frustrates me) and I then say ” Carli you are ridiculous! stop being a baby! You can do it!” Thats my attempt at self motivation… I then end up watching Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and cry when they loose the pants. I am lame. 

I’ve decided that school is not good for me. It turns me into this crazy depressed baby that complains about everything. 

I can not wait until I graduate. Only if I could control time…

Wishing I was a super genius and could ace tests without studying…
