SHOUT OUT TO THE COLLEGE KIDS IN THE FAM.

Finals are quite stressful to say the least!  Please excuse me in advance if this blog just seems like I'm blowing of some steam, because I am.
I just lost half my work on a final online project due to my computer freezing and no, I didn't save anything so i'll just start over I guess.  
I'm sure all of you have either experienced or are about to experience "dead week", the week just before finals.  I say what in the world ever happened to "dead week"!!!!!????   It says right in my official Weber Planner that there are no classes during that week, HOWEVER, every since I can remember (because I have gone to school for much longer than needed) my teachers have thought "dead week" to be a good week to throw in one more exam before the final.  How on EARTH am I supposed to do a good comprehensive review when I'm busy studying for last minute exams in all my classes!?  HUH!?  Not like I have a job, need sleep, have to eat, or even need to change my underwear.  
I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the science stuff.  My lab partner was gone for the week so I had to prepare a quiz and a comprehensive practice final for my anatomy class all on my own.  Luckily for me my wife is a science genius and was able to help me a bit set things up in the lab today.  
Needless to say I have many hoops to yet jump through for the semester to finally be over.  I probably have it easiest out of the current college kids in the family right now so this is a shout out to them.  GOOD LUCK! 
Well now that I've vented for a minute I feel better and can get back to my studies.  Every semester is like this so I've done it before, I'm sure I can do it again.  I recommend just writing you feelings down if you feel stressed or frustrated.  It seems to have eased my fury.  I could just erase all of this and pretend like I never wrote it and I'd still feel better BUT... now I have an updated blog so I guess it'll stay due to a lack of time to write another one.

New thing #3:  Felicia tried the California Roll 
New thing #4:  Felicia then tried a new dish (stuffed shrimp)
New thing #5:  We bought a good sized Jade Tree for the casa

New thing #6:  Felicia made me cocoa and toast for the 1st time and I REALY enjoy it
I'll end on that great note.
