Okay, okay

I never update this thing because I never really think people are reading it lol.

I have one week and one day left in my calculus II class. What really sucks about this accelerated course stuff is that I understand the concepts (mostly), but when it comes time to take a test, I've been cramming so much that my mind just BLANKS. The last test we took was going really well, but it was taking me a while to finish. By the time the class ended, only two people had finished, and he just collected them. When the vast majority of a class doesn't finish a test, doesn't that say that #1 something went wrong in the teaching or #2 the test was just too long? He doesn't see it that way. He thinks he teaches his classes the same way every time, so therefore every class "should" be treated equally.

I know, I know... I wouldn't be bitching if I had been one of the two that finished early. Anyway, so I had to leave one of the questions completely blank, and I wrote "no time" on it... to which he responded, "need to get faster." Bastard.

Welp, my little puffers are still alive and kicking (swimming?), and my snails are breeding like rabbits. The smaller of the two puffers is much more bold. He'll at least swim up to something in the water (like the brush I use to clean their tanks), while the bigger one swims up and down the side of the glass, looking for his escape. At the aquarium, I've changed exhibits all over again, and one of the exhibits I'm working on has a spitting puffer. No, that isn't an actual breed... this particular puffer was trained to spit water at people whenever he wanted food. It's so cute. I've been trying to get a video of it, but he only did it the one time I didn't have a camera.

I can't wait until calculus is over with. After calculus, I have a month long break from school which includes a weekend in Omaha, traveling to Georgia/South Carolina to scope out possible future places to live, and then our HONEYMOON!!!
