news departments

i am tired. i mean really, really really, tired. beyond the norm, my butt is beat tired. it has been a long day and i still have school stuff i should do but am in no condition to do. yes, i am behind again but more because i had to go out tonight, and i have been putting off one recording i need to do for a language class paper. great example for my oldest who is becoming a procrastinator as well. (can't you just hear the sarcasm?) i have been having some pain in my back, just below my right shoulder blade, that is forcing me to take lay down breaks through the day, so that isn't helping.

in the good news department i did get a 23 out of 25 points on my first paper assignment for my myth class. i guess that means i am getting more of it than i thought? i am more worried about the midterms than papers though. the wellbutrin doesn't help quite THAT much and my memory isn't so reliable. but we shall see. with any luck, my papers will make up for lower test grades.

in the oh my god news department next year i will have a HIGH SCHOOLER in the house. tonight we had a meeting for this special honors program at one of the local high schools. she is interested in being a part of it. we have a few challenges in all that: she's not in the school's boundaries so we have to transfer her into the school specifically for the program. there is a big chance she won't make it, only 10 students are chosen from each school. then, if she DOES get in, because she is a transfer, she is required to take ALL honors classes. we had a parents meeting with her involved just to make sure we all understood that she will need more leeway on some things so she can do the work. i know she can do it, i just hope she doesn't give up when it gets hard.

i am going to go unwind on the ps then crawl into bed. if my body will make it that far. for all i know i will just go to sleep in the big, comfortable chair.
