I feel like I did really well on my HR test. I studied like 10 or 11 hours for it (reading all the chapters from the book, taking notes on those, rewriting my notes so they are cohesive, reviewing the notes, etc.) I've never felt this good about anything that I've turned into Birnbaum before. Hmm. Also, when I went up to her office to give her the completed test, she kind of insisted on giving me an extension on the paper, because I am working alone (while everyone else has a partner) and because of the time we spent with the family in Florida after Grandpa K died. So that means I don't have to turn it in on Friday (phew).

This weekend's plans consist of: Friday afternoon - HW & laundry til about 5:30 or 6:00, when I will eat. Saturday - read lots and lots of HR articles, until 6:30 or 7:00, when I will eat. Sunday - read lots and lots of HR articles, study for Spanish test.

I just did badly on my Econ test. I got to what I thought was the end of the test, just as she said "5 minutes left", and I turned the page just to make sure, and there was another page to do... :( I think I kind of freaked out and did it all wrong, anyway. Cross your fingers for a C.

Yesterday I spent 2.5 hours in the new library and today I'm going to spend: 12:00-12:50, 1:30-6:00, 7:50-8:20, 9:00-11:50. Because teachers are intent on burying me.

I'm going to be busy for the next 2 weeks. When I get a minute, I will tell you about my birthday parties, and then visiting the family. In the meantime, I'll frighten you with the list of things I have to do.

Wednesday (29): Econ test, yoga in the evening. Thursday (30): HR test.
Monday (3): Spanish test. Tuesday (4): derm appt AM. Wednesday (5): yoga in the evening. Thursday (6): Cost test, Finance test. Friday (7): HR paper due.

:( :(

You know, there's always a let-down after a holiday, like Christmas or your birthday. You have your birthday and it's really wonderful: on Saturday we (family, including Dad) went to Fitz's, and yesterday we (family, minus Dad)went to the Cheesecake Factory, where I had my first legal drink (a Typhoon Punch), and then we got home and Mom opened a bottle of champagne and I opened presents (I got a TIVO among other excellent gifts.. YAYYY). And that really was wonderful.

But today, all the magic is over, and I had to go to the dentist to get some cavities filled. Tyler and I went on Monday for a cleaning and check-up and they found that we both had several cavities. This really bummed me out because I floss and brush regularly, and prided myself on my dental hygiene. To no avail. Today I went to get the fillings in and it was quite unpleasant. At first there wasn't enough anathestetic (I'm not even going to bother spell-checking that), so when they first started drilling, it was like blue lightning of pain in my face. So I asked for more and received it, and we went on our "merry" way. When they started holding down my tongue, I kind of couldn't handle it and was gagging.. anyway.

I think I might be allergic to those latex gloves, because my face is really itchy. I mentioned how itchy my face is, and they said it could either be the gloves or the anesthtetic (haha spelling is hard), so I should take Benadryl when I got home. So I have, and am expecting to crash any minute now.

P.S. I can't even feel my right ear.

Not counted among these grades: the B+ I got on the HR test, and the 90 I got on the Finance test from last Thursday.

So I finished my two tests today. They went all right, I guess. I studied pretty hard yesterday.

Yesterday in my yoga class, Gary was trying to make everyone do handstands, which I am not up for. He went on to warn the girls, "if you're on your moon" not to do it.. yikes.. But I decided to try some headstands against the wall in my room tonight and I really enjoy it, except that it hurts the top of my head, and also my neck when it's decompressing.

I've studied for my Spanish test tomorrow, and CSI, the Office, and ER are on tonight. Yay.
