But you're telling me my 3.8 is good? And that's only in a masters program too. LOL

It brought my overall GPA down a bit. I have a 3.913 cumulative now. It was 3.96 or something before.

Check this out: Under step 1 style, click "view product details" and look at the "mug" paddle

Funny inn't? I think the blow was that I was so close to straight As that 4 out of 5 is frustrating. If I'd gotten 2 or 3 Bs, it wouldn't feel like I just missed out. Also, I measure my proficiency by grades. If I got a B- does that mean there's a whole world of stuff that I just didn't get? Will it hurt me practicing in the field that so much clearly went over my head? What if those exam questions missed were crucial concepts that I'm just a total dunce about and not understanding them ruins my chances of being successful??? #catastrophizing

Ya know, I had an addiction to honor societies for awhile. I collected the pins. :shrug:

I will give myself this: Not bad for a twice exceptional child. I went from academic probation to this. That was a long journey and underneath all the nitpicky panic, I know I worked hard for this.

My sister-in-law just had baby #2 (baby #1 is about 2 years old) and two of my brother-in-laws are expecting with their new wives. This will make 18 nieces & nephews and 4 of my siblings-in-law haven't even started yet. For an only child who has 5 total cousins, this is overwhelming.

I've survived much worse than what's going on but I just feel like complaining, so indulge me lol. I've had a sore throat for almost a week now and I thought it was just allergies. The pain kept me awake until 4 this morning When I got up this morning I got a flashlight and checked it out and (warning: icky stuff ahead) my left tonsil had ruptured. I don't handle medical things or blood & guts very well, and it was a pretty nasty sight. I got super lightheaded and laid down on the couch for awhile, then drove myself to an urgent care clinic. Over a span of 3.5 hours, they told me I have strep and gave me two shots in the butt. Not thrilling. I had to lie down again after those because I got super lightheaded. Now I'm home, waiting for my prescriptions (all three of them?!) to be filled, just feeling plum sorry for myself. I wanted to go home tomorrow, too. I still might, even though the doctor said I probably should just be taking things easy. I just want to be home! Especially when I'm sick. Woe is me

Today at UNM, we mourn the loss of Sigma Chi brother Garrett Elders. Rest in Peace brother, may you hurt no more.

"God shall wipe all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away." -Revelation 21:4

I've seen a similar product at Target around Christmastime.
