Last Free Day
Monday is the start of classes. This is Friday. I know, Saturday and Sunday are still free but they don't count. See, there is a class free weekend every week but this is the last day of the last free week. No classes, no homework, no getting up early.
5 Am was never meant to be seen unless you are just going to bed! I am a night owl. I used to work the 2-11 shift. I went to bed around 4Am and got up around noon. I loved it. I kept the same schedule even on my days off. Now I drive a school bus. Irony anyone?
My only complaint about the 2-11 was that my family was always saying that they never got to see me. In retrospect I think that had very little to do with my shift and more to do with the fact that I was going through a brain dead period in my life. It was a time of severely bad judgement on my part. But still, I love that shift. I like the quiet at night.
Things with Nanny are looking bad. She is spending more and more time not in her right mind. We think this could be due to poor blood supply to her brain. We think that because her feet turn black after less than two minutes of sitting up. As a result she now has to spend most of her time in her bed. It's a hospital bed so we can sit her up a little and move the level of her legs around. We moved her big screen tv into the bedroom so she can watch tv.
I have biology this semester. (I'm repressing a scream of terror right now.) I keep telling myself that if I can pass algebra I can pass anything. I've never actually taken biology before, not even in high school. I took physical and life science. I'm really regretting that right about now. But Karen is taking it too so maybe we can help each other through it.
I'm also taking a psych class in development, speech, and philosophy. I took philosophy last semester but was forced to drop in due to the fact that the instructor only had one lecture which he repeated every class period and which taught nothing about philosophy. I did enjoy reading the book though. It was really interesting. So much so that I finished reading it even though I had dropped the class.

Good luck with Biology! I failed it when I took it at Tarleton, so I'll be no help at all. But, I am taking Geology this semester and I'm quite scared. Wish me luck!
Sorry to hear things are not going well with Nanny. :( I hope things get better soon.
5am, are you insane??
Yes, I think I am insane. I have to get up that early for work. The good thing is that I don't have to work evenings and weekends. Good luck with geology! I thought about taking that but biology is required for my major... then A&P... oh joy!
