Finals... ugh

So, hey, am I the only one wondering where the missing family members are? and how to see their posts? :) Has Paul said whether or not he can post? And Chad, what do you think of all this mess? I'd like to hear from you, but I'm sure you're busy with finals as well.

Speaking of finals, I've taken four already, and some with not as much success as I felt I did. It's such a horribly disappointing feeling, to feel really good out of a test, see your score and seriously wonder what in the world you missed. That's the result of two of my four tests so far. My statistics test results weren't immediate because it was all written. I prefer that anyway, even though it takes a lot longer, with math and economics problems you can at least get half credit from something you got half right. Oh well.

Good news, everyone, I got a Pell Grant. In lieu of that, I was feeling less pressure to get all A's (which is what I would've needed to bump up my GPA .01 which could be the difference between a full and a half scholarship), but now it's more an issue of personal accomplishment. Anyway, the grant along with some kind of a scholarship will help alleviate financial pressure during my last school year, and could potentially help shift funds to something like...oh, I don't know, medical bills? If we were to have any in the next 9 months or so... Not announcing anything, people, just being prepared.

Anyway, gotta get back to cooking dinner and dessert. Mom, Miranda and I are trying your "weekend diet," when we restrict ourselves to treats only on Friday and Sunday. We'll see how that goes.
