The Powers That "B"

I hate Bs.  I hate them.  I hate Cs even worse, but I really hate Bs.  It's like being *so close* to an A, but failing.  Yes, I realize that is a ridiculous way of looking at the grade, and it could be said of any grade other than an A, but it is what it is, and that's how I feel...for now.

I have a feeling I may be getting my first B since venturing down this road of pre requisites.  And, it's not sitting well with me.  I got a B on my lab practical and a B on my last test.  I am frustrated with myself, along with my situation.  I know I can do better than this, but I just don't feel like I have the time to really devote to actually studying and that sucks.  So, I walk into exams having only looked at it for 1/2 hour before and hope for the best...and get a B, and really, rightfully so, and I should be happy with that.  I'm just not b/c I know I am a better student than that and I can do better.  And, I know my half-assed studying just isn't going to cut it when I get into the program of choice.  I must kick it up a notch beginning, yesterday!  And, that means I must start studying the muscles and nerves!  I wish they weren't so damn hard to pronounce, and therefore spell, they are going to be the death of me...for now.  Of course I still have yet to even begin writing my paper, so I will be saying the same then, I'm sure.  I go back and forth between wanting it to be August already and wanting it to be June again so I could have more time.  I guess at this point, it is what it is...wish me luck!

On to more fun topics, I didn't make it to the outlets this weekend, despite my intentions.  No new bag for me, no new clothes for Devin, resulting in no new fashion shows for the other blog, and no new make up.  Maybe next weekend, if I get a chance.  Too much to do, way too little time!

It's all a waiting game...

I fully own up to the fact that I haven't been the greatest at keeping up with my duties here.  Some day this thing called blogging will become second nature to me, at least I'm hoping so.  So far this summer I have managed to accomplish absolutely nothing that I had intended.  Not that this is overly surprising to me.  I knew it was going to be a busy summer, unfortunately I didn't quite realize exactly *how* busy.  I am now knee deep in my Anatomy & Physiology class and I can honestly say that although I am learning a ton, I did not realize exactly how intense this course would be during an accelerated summer semester.  I am honestly not entirely sure what I thinking when I made the decision to register for this class 2 days before it started.  I have officially made it through midterms and my first A&P lab practical.  I have a solid A in the class, and for that I am thankful!  However, it seems to get more and more difficult everyday.  I have 2 more exams, another practical and a paper and project all due by the 28th...yes, that is in 19 days.  Do not ask me how I'll accomplish it all because quite honestly I'm not sure right now.  Somehow, though, I will persevere.  I have to.  Not finishing the class...not getting an A is simply not an option for me.  Of course I say that now as I not so patiently await the grade from my most recent exam (and most difficult to date) to be posted.  I am learning the hard way that patience is a virtue that I lack significant amounts of.

In other news, I have been window shopping for a new handbag.  Yes, I know, I know, I don't NEED another one, but how much in life that is fun and exciting is actually NEEDED?  I have been drooling over this gorgeous Doone and Bourke (photos taken from Ebay, thank you if they are yours :)

and this Coach Patent Leather Inlaid C Peyton.  She is just gorgeous, but I have been reading many reviews that say the white C's are yellowing.  Yuck.  I'm trying to talk myself off the ledge.  I am so loving this bag.  However, instead I think I will likely make my way to the Outlets this weekend and see if I find anything I can't live without, there...much cheaper and more satisfying to leave with the bag in my hand versus waiting and hoping and praying what I thought I purchased on Ebay is actually what I get in the mail!
