Ai-ya! So busy... so very busy... but at least life is good... for now

I would say life is a roller-coaster, but that's not entirely accurate. I'm experiencing my highs and lows at the same time.

High: I finished my self-paced programming course! Yay! One less thing to worry about, one less element of stress.

High: My grade in Statics is a full nine points higher than I thought it was a week ago. I have a C! I have never been so excited to have a C in my life.

Associated Low: The final. How ironic that the final I'm most worried about is on Friday the 13th. He's changing the weight, so it will be worth more than it says on the syllabus. Oh crap. This is gonna be nasty.

High: My roommate's family. They're so cool. I thought that before, but they keep bending over backwards to make me feel good. Example: his family in Hawai'i invited me to stay at their house over the Christmas break. I hope that I can be a good guest. I'll certainly try. I just hope I won't be trying [their patience].

Associated Low: Won't get to see much of the Maternal Unit over the break. I'm gonna miss her. But I will have a few days with her before and after. It just doesn't seem like much.

Associated High: All this time isolated from family has really made me appreciate them and realize how big a role they play in my life.

Another Associated (but less important) Low: I am SO not in shape for any beach-going. All the stress is playing hell with my complexion, and I've not worked out at all since, oh, July. Aah, crap. Not like it really matters. But I always want to look my best.

Another Associated Low: Good grief, am I really that shallow?

Oh well. Just wanted to see if anyone was still out there. Ciao, babe.
