And they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone.

Today seemed very long and stressful in regards to school. I woke up this morning and discovered online that I had a rather low low low grade for my Criminal Justice exam. I was heartbroken. I had studied so hard. I was crying on the phone with my mom.

Turns out, he posts the score you got out of 50. So, I had been thinking I had failed miserably, but that wasn't the case. I had done just fine.

I never ever get stressed out from school. I just don't consider grades a part of real life. I don't feel urgency or worry about grades. I feel like I just need to go to college because that's what I am supposed to do, and I don't want to work in retail my whole life.

So why the sudden obsession? Why did I snap? I'm still not sure. I think I'm adjusting to school and work this semester along with the longer drive. Lily has been acting out alot lately as well. I guess I can't really say acting out because she's just a baby, but she's throwing temper tantrums, especially in the car. Parenting Magazine says that toddlers around this age go through a very frusturated stage.

So, Lily and I are both frusturated. I guess I am just stressed from trying to balance everything at once. I'm taking a deep breath now, and I'm trying to just relax with some Mexican food tonight and hopefully something good on TV. Ah, the little pleasures.

Tomorrow, I am working 7-4, and we have the District Manager coming to visit, so it will be a busy, yet productive day. I prefer those to slow days anyway. Girl time for me tomorrow too, as I am going to visit my Jenna at school for dinner, shopping, and a tour of her new condo. I can't wait. When she mentioned it, it made my day.

As for this weekend, I think we're going to Provino's friday with Katherine, Brandon, Josh, and Shane's cousin and his girlfriend. Saturday has yet to be determined. Once I get my work schedule for next week, and I find out if I'm working Sunday, I can make all my plans. I don't want to go out and party Saturday night unless I'm off Sunday. So if I'm off, I'll hopefully go chill out with Katie and meet her boyfriend, finally!

Ouch! Long blog. My wrist hurts. Have a good night...and leave me some comments.

I don't stress about grades either, but when they're below 50 I'm sure that would be jarring. haha. See you friday!
