RELIEF

So I ended up dropping my Anatomy class. I have mix feelings about what I did. I was passing and I could've probably gotten a B in the class, BUT I wasn't learning a darn thing and I was stressing out so much that my RT class was also suffering. NOTE TO SELF: Never sign up for two very important classes on the same day b/c they'll probably have the same test days (which was the case for me). I feel like a dork cuz people who were getting way lower grades than me (D & F) are still hanging in there -- hoping to pass the class. As for me, I just couldn't deal with the fact that I wasn't giving it my all. I found myself having to choose which class I should concentrate on first...and by the time I was done memorizing the terms in RT (which is basically a Medical Terminology class), I was too tired to truly memorize (or read the book) for anatomy. I still plan on going to lab so I can get the handouts and study accordingly. But I won't go to lecture --> I figure I have next year to read through the book and make my own notes...plus, the teacher I get may not even concentrate on what notes I've taken in Mrs. Mark's class. So now, I only have an 8AM class on Tuesday and the stress level has ceased. I deciding factor was when I had to go to work Monday morning and then night. I had counted on getting the night off so I could concentrate for the exam, but I couldn't get off work --> so that meant I had to sleep the moment I got home b/c I wouldn't have the time to rest at work. BUT I think I made a good decision. I'll have a W (and have wasted $120 worth of tuition) BUT at least it won't mess up my GPA (I'm currently at 4.0) ha ha ha. Yes, I'm a dork.

I've decided to keep the mulah that K gave me. I think I'm gonna use it to buy that digital camera I've been wanting for awhile

Other things....I'm going to the BOYS II MEN concert!! Yeah, I know, they're old, but I love their music and it'll bring a lot of happy memories for moi. I asked K to go with me on this one. And I'm taking G (cuz he really loves this performer) to the R.Kelly and Jay-Z concert. I also want to go to the Ozomatli concert in December. It's only $20 and at the Anaheim Pond...I'm deciding if I should ask a group of people to go or if I should take my brother....If you haven't seen this band before, they are sooooo fun to watch live. They're the background band in that movie "Never Been Kissed"...you know, when Drew B. got high and started dancing on stage, that was Ozomatli playing!! They are awesome!

Well, that's it for today. I watched that old movie Gattaca...I forgot how much I liked it and yet how sad it was....so was Simon Birch...dood, this is what happens when I drop a class....I have a lot of time to sit at home and relax --> yet here I am at work...a bit tired and feeling hella lazy --> I think it's because of the rain. I hope it won't rain so much this year. I hate driving in the rain....it scares me a bit. Alright...hope y'all are doing good. Ciao.
