On a few things... The end of the semester was CRAZY! So WW went out the window. I went back to a meeting on Thursday with a friend and when I looked at my weight tracker, noticed it had been over a month since I had last weighed in. Whoops. BUT the good news was that I had only put on 2.5 pounds. I was expecting much worse. Especially since the night before I had gone to the Cheesecake Factory with some friends and ordered the Mac and Cheese burger. (Definitely some emotional eating there, I'll discuss that later.) This week is Christmas and WW is closed until January 2nd I believe. I also still have a piece of cheesecake calling my name so it will still be a little while until I'm back into it.
Back to the school thing... The semester has been over for almost two weeks now and I still don't have all my grades. I know what I will end up with (and it's not good) but I wish my one hold-out professor would get on it already! Wasn't it bad enough that she tortured us for an entire semester? Oh well, she has until Thursday to post grades and I'm betting she will take every second she can. In case you were wondering, this is for my biology class. One of the hardest classes I've ever taken! And it was an "introductory" Biology class!!! I will end up with a C in that class. I'm not sure if it will be a C+,C,C-. Hopefully a C+ but really anything above a C-. I also got a C+ in Chemistry (how did that happen???). C's get degrees right??? Wrong. I attended an information session for the college of nursing at the U on Wednesday night and they said if you have 3 C's or more to basically not bother applying. He even said not to retake anything because it typically does more damage than good, unless you get an A. I believe I received a C in Statistics when I took it 6 years ago, which would give me three C's. Talk about dream-destroying and soul-crushing... So this semester ended the same way it began... me driving home crying... Except I was going to dinner with friends so I had to stop crying.
HOWEVER, I'm still going to go for it. I may just not apply to the U. Another thing he said was to get clinic experience. So my plan of attack now is to get certified as a phlebotomist and work part-time doing that. I also gave my two weeks notice to the daycare yesterday. I think part of my problem this semester was sleep deprivation. No more waking up at 5 AM! My last day is January 4th.
Merry Christmas everyone! Christmas has never been my favorite holiday... I'm not a fan of the people everywhere and I'm also not a fan of wintertime but this year more than ever I've had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit. Which makes it all the more ironic that I'm teaching Relief Society tomorrow and our lesson is on, you guessed it, Christmas. It definitely helped remind me of what Christmas is all about. I also found a Christmas song I actually like (I hate Christmas music). David Archuleta wasn't my favorite American Idol of all time, or even favorite from that season, but he does have a nice voice. Enjoy!
