I just took my Legal Research final. I'm worried. I missed quite a few questions on the final and several more were essay and needed to be read/graded so I don't know my grade on that. But I need a 70 in the class in order to pass. right now I'm at a 44. There are 3 additional assignments that need to be graded and I'm HOPING those 3 put me over the 70 mark.
Tomorrow I start a 2 week (10 days) class called Law & Evidence. Pretty sure its the same instructor I've had for the last 15 days, but I won't know for sure until later today or sometime tomorrow.
In the process of printing out the lectures for Law & Evidence. I'm DETERMINED not to fall behind like I did for Legal Research.

That’s procrastination for ya
I was planning on going out tonight but as I was getting my stuff together I noticed I had assignments that hadn't been cleared from my schoolwork calendar. How many assignments? About 10 days worth! and the class ends on 3/30!
No going out for me tonight! Have to get as much done tonight as I can because tomorrow is shopping and prepping for Sunday night's dinner. Once I'm done with that (at least for Saturday), I'll get back on the schoolwork ball. I'll also have to try and catch up Sunday when things are slow in the dinner set up.

That wasn’t so bad afterall
Had to redo an assignment for Legal Research and got the best compliment to date on an assignment:
Comments: This is an EXCELLENT effort, Lizet. Much better than your first attempt!
Simply put, this may be the best memo I've seen in the class thus far. Outstanding!
100/100
and I was rather worried about the redone assignment because I wasn't given much information to work with...it didn't seem complete.
I bought my Easter dress on Monday, I got my hair braided on Tuesday, yesterday I got my nails done and today, tomorrow and Saturday is prepping for the Easter dinner at Church. Not including the ham, I’m personally making 2 side dishes – candied yams and macaroni & cheese. The ham is being purchased from The Honey Baked Ham Store (LOVE their food!) on Saturday and will be heated up Sunday while Lora & I are setting up. I don’t know when/where I’m going to do the macaroni & cheese or yams. I don’t want to have to do a lot of baking at the church, but I also don’t want to have everything cooked too far in advance.

Happy Camper
I'm a happy camper right now.
Today I bought a dress & sweater for Easter Sunday service. I also (finally) got my high school class ring (in a few years I'll get my college rings).
Tomorrow I get to spend 7 hours at a hair salon getting my hair braided! I haven't had my hair in braids in so long (I can't remember the exact # of years) and it's been about 3 years since I was pampered at a hair salon.
A plus that helps my family that I'm finally making good on my promise to my mom to pay rent. At least for as long as I'm able to...so spending sprees down to 4 times a year. I get 3 more this year lmao

Between now and Easter
I have to:
• Get my hair done
• Get a dress/suit for Easter
• Buy $200 worth of food/decorations for the Church’s Easter dinner
And all this either by bus or asking for rides from people lol not to mention I have to clean all the dust out of my room, put things in storage (dusted or not), stay on top of my homework and have a social life? Ha!

I guess it’s time for an update...
Monday we got new windows
Then Tuesday afternoon/evening the contractors said they put the wrong windows in and Wednesday they were going to replace them.
Our new NEW windows (with Miss Marple claiming her spot)
I’m HOPING Thursday we get the new bathroom windows so that Friday things can be inspected and finished up. I have a buttload of dust I need to somehow clean out of my room.
Oh, did I mention I’m also sick? Yeah. I think it was from being out in the cold 4 nights in a row. Plus I was around someone who sounded like she was coughing up a lung. My belief is that if you’re sick and constantly coughing, you shouldn’t be going out. Stay home. Get better. Don’t go out and possibly get others sick…like me! And I RARELY get sick! Hopefully this is my ONE time this year and I won’t get sick again this year.
There’s this guy. I probably won’t get to see him for a few years, but I really want to see him. This is more complicated than I thought it’d be. Actually I was thinking it’d be anything more than friendship, but now…who knows.

Animal Lover
earlier today I was with my "cousins" at an outdoor birthday dinner. There was a stray cat or someone's pet who got out. well it kept coming to the backyard and going into the bushes.
These people were either allergic or scared of animals and they kept saying to kick it or throw stuff at it. They were even encouraging the little kids to do the same thing.
Me being a cat/animal liker, I was getting defensive. I got up from eating to escort the cat out and closed the gate behind me. Not much good that was. Cats can jump gates & fences.
every time the cat came to the backyard they were like "where's Lizet? she's the cat lady to get the cat out..." the cat wasn't bothering anyone. it came into the backyard and hid in the bushes. They actively sought the cat out to get it out of the backyard!
This got to me so much that I called my dad to come get me early (later I changed my mind, then changed it back again once more people started to leave). I just wasn't in the mood to be around them.
What got me even more was seeing the guy I used to crush on throwing stuff at the cat. He even joked that the cat needed to be saved (needed Jesus). I don't care how good you are with kids (he's pretty awesome around kids), you treat animals like that and you're on my shit list.
This is yet another reason I hope I am able to move to Wyoming in a few years. Start over fresh with people who don't know me and I don't know them.

Yaaaay
OMG guess what ya’ll! I finally got my laptop from the school! It’s a Dell Inspiron Netbook. This is closest to what I have. I have black. I wish it were some bring color, but hey, I got a laptop! Woohoo!
I’d be doing this update from my netbook (who I suspect I should name…) but I’m getting it all protected and whatnot before I really use it. My dad really needs to see about getting wireless in here! My neighbors got smart and protected their wireless connections so I can’t bum anything from them. Oh well. We have DSL cords that reach into my room.
Tuesday I spent part of the day with Staci. I guess she’s healing well from her surgery. We girl talked and watched The Bad Girls Club and then I left. It took like an hour on the bus to get there but like 2 hours to get home. What the heck?! My mom ended up picking me up from the train station because I needed to be home quick like. I had 2 discussion board questions to answer and a final! I finished the class around 930 pm. That’s the latest I’d waited for finishing a class! I don’t think I want to do that again. Too stressful thinking I’m going to run out of time or the computer is going to crash.
Today is Mid-Week Bible Study. I have no idea how I’m getting there or home. My cousin who I go with has been really sick the last few days (she’s missed a day and a half of work and she never misses work!) so I don’t know if she’s going to go. I ask my mom but she acts like I’m pulling teeth when I mention being dropped off. I get it, parking here is crap, but damn, you want me to go back to NOT going out anymore!? I get so frustrated with her. At least my dad is like “yeah, sure…” or “yeah, I’ll take you…in a couple hrs” or something.
Umm…I think there was something else, but I can’t remember. I need to finish cleaning the cabinets before my dad gets home…and I don’t know when that’s going to be – he’s at the gym right now. I also need to do the discussion board question for my new class I started today but I think I’m going to do that tomorrow.
