Drum Roll Please......

Well as you all know I have been (not so) patiently waiting for my final grades to be posted so I can move on with my life.  :o)  Well, yesterday I decided that since I was already on the computer I would check to see if anything has been posted.  First I check to see what I got on my last psychology exam - 106 out of 100.  Sweet,  I finished with an A for the course!  Total count three A's and one unknown.    So I decide "what the heck, I'll see if my chemistry grade is posted as well."  I click on the final grade screen and went numb.  I could not believe my eyes.  How in the world did this happen?  The tears started to well up in my eyes, and my hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't hold the phone to call Brad.  He answered and told me to hang on while he put his headset on, and as I waited, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer.  Brad finally answered "Hi.  What are you doing?"  By this time I am crying and blurted out "I got an A in my organic chemistry class!"  Of course he didn't understand a single word I said so I had to repeat it "I got an A!  in chemistry!"  He started laughing at me and told me to calm down, but he was pretty proud of me.  I was so happy and shocked that I was shaking.  I didn't know what to do when I saw it on the screen, it was such a rush of all these emotions, relief, and a little bit of disbelief.  All I know is, I got the grade I studied so hard for and couldn't be happier. 


Now, on to biochemistry!

One More Semester Down....

I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have finished up my classes and I am now not so patiently waiting for my final grades.  I'm pretty sure I ended with three A's and one B, but I'm not positive and it. is. killing. me!  I hate this waiting thing! 

Now that classes are over with my days consist of going to work, going to gym, and going home.  It has been so nice, but boy the nights fly by!  I know it doesn't help that I get home at 7 and it's already dark, but they can slow down just a little!  Geesh.  I have enjoyed being able to catch up on my crocheting (no I'm not 80!) movies and tv!  It's so nice not having to use my brain for a little while!  <-- insert blonde joke here. :o)

The only other exciting thing going on I suppose is x-mas, which I still have to shop for.  At least there isn't much left to get.  The stores are so crazy this time of year!  We always say we are going to buy things all year long, but you know what?  We never do.  Maybe that is my new year's resolution.....

High Score?!?!?!?

Ok people, I just have to share this awesome news.  I took my final chapter exam in organic chemistry on Wednesday and got it back today.  I was a little worried about it, but it turned out to be easier than I thought it would be.  I knew I messed up a couple of parts, but still figured I did ok.  Well, I picked up my test today and found out that I was one of the few people who got the high score!  I about fainted.    The bad thing is that the class as a whole did poorly.  I feel kinda bad because I really like our professor and he genuinely wants his students to do well. There's not a lot of professors who really care how their students do, so when I don't do well I feel like I let him down too.  (Thankfully it's only been one test.)

But I am excited and wanted to share my news!

My Birthday - sort of

I have to admit that I have the sweetest, bestest, most awesomest husband. And I do realize that he will roll his eyes when he reads this, but oh well. Hi honey!

My birthday was this past Monday and because he wasn’t going to be home to celebrate it with me, we kinda made a weekend out of it. On Friday we rented movies and stayed up late watching them all, so of course we slept in a bit on Saturday. :o) When we got out of bed we went out for breakfast, ran some errands and then went home to study/veg out. Saturday night went to one of my favorite restaurants and had some yummy Italian food, then went home and vegged some more. Ahhhh I love relaxing! Sunday my sweet husband cooked lunch and dinner for us. He made goulash for lunch and a bean stew for dinner, both were awesome! We put up the Christmas tree and decorated a little bit around the house, and afterwards we played some Guitar Hero 5! It was a pretty enjoyable/relaxing weekend. I spent my real birthday working and then studying all night. I liked my weekend birthday better!

I wanted to share my beautiful birthday gifts with everyone:

The necklace is a black pearl – inside a real clam that we had to open to get to the pearl. The pearl symbolizes love, which I thought was pretty fitting. :o) My little stud picked that out for me.

I also got a really pretty fairy paperweight that says I love you to take to work, some comfy Tinker Bell pj's and a t-shirt. It was a very nice weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

Look what my sweet husband did....

He bought me some really pretty flowers! He surprised me with a bouquet before Thanksgiving too. *sigh* He's such a sweetheart. :o) Oh! shhh! Don't tell anybody though, it's a secret!
