Merry Christmas LJ!
We are actually going to be leaving for Indiana in about 8 hours. Unfortunately, I was asked to leave Jim home. It is unfair to hi to spend Christmas day alone. Many may say, he's only a dog, so what? But I am rather disappointed that my family will not allow me to take him with. He's well behaved, clean, and quiet. Not to mention, he's my companion. Mingke on the other hand is timid, nervous, prone to bite, and overall, not a dog that should be around other people. He would be perfectly content being home alone.
My cousin also has a big back yard that Jim could play in tomorrow. He needs a Christmas with me and I want to provide him with that luxury. Plus a faithful hound by the fire is my cup of tea. I just want him to be happy, not lonely.
I just can't imagine Christmas without him.

AHH! I get to turn in my psych paper today without any penalties! My psych teacher is really really amazing! I am so thankful that she would tell me not to worry and that she's going to accept my paper. She is an awesome teacher. I am so so glad everything is going to be OK. It's such a huge relief. I feel like someone took a boulder off my head and my chest. After today, I will be done with all class related things. Work out class will continue until Dec 23rd. So far, my grades look as follows:

• U.S. Govt- D (I didn't think I was going to pass anyway. The teacher had a thick accent and covered the material in a very disorderly fashion. He's a great teacher minus the fact that none of the material on his study guides are on the actual test. I didn't turn in the extra credit paper because it really wouldn't have made a differnce. But KCC accepts D's and so I wont have to take that class over again. YAY!)
• Psych- unknown (She said that everyone will get a C-, but the real grades will be submitted by Monday. I hope to God I don't get an F in that class.)
• Geology- C (I did OK on the final. I wasn't expecting anything better. As long as it's not an F, I'm OK with it. I passed and in my mind, that's all that counts.)
• Choir - A (It's hard to fail this class.)
• Voice - A (Same comment as above)
• Work out - Unknown (I guess it depends on if I pass my psych class. I plan on getting either a B or an A. It's all a difference of 3 hours of workout.)

So yeah, and thaen there's all this moving stuff that I have to take care of, but my possible roommate is in Germany spending the holidays with her family. I hope to know soon. I'll write more about that later.

This is a cover. But I really like how she did this. Original by Kina Grannis.

When was the last time I posted at 5 AM? *grin*
I am in the funniest of moods right now. No one is awake and I am super giggly.
I fell asleep around 9:30 PM and woke up at around 4:30 AM.
That's something I wish would happen all the time. Perhaps it should be a little later though. 9:30 is a little too early IMO.
Tis the season to look at netbooks. I heard that Windows 7 is installed on some of them. I was also bribed by my parents about the possibility of them purchasing me a macbook pro if I lose 15 pounds by June. I've already lost some weight. So the bribe might work. *laugh* Anyway, does anyone know if the magnifier is included on Windows 7? I might purchase a portable disc drive to install Zoomtext on the netbook, unless it's a bad idea. I'm just tired of carrying this clunky laptop around. It's kind of heavy. All I know is that it needs to be lighter and I need to save my back the trouble of carrying such a monster. A smaller screen doesn't really matter much IMHO. I would like a powerful one though; one that would last me at least a couple years.
I took two of my finals yesterday. I was pulling a C in one class and I don't know what the grade is in the other class. I do, however, have to turn in a paper for my psych class which is the class that I don't know my grade in. Today I have to study, attend a review, and write a 5 page paper on blindness and reciprocal influences. Tomorrow if all goes well, I will be done with my semester with the exception of my work out class. My instructor is giving me until January 14 to finish my hours. I plan on getting a B for the course, which means that I will have to complete 26 hours of fitness.
In other news, I have my appointment with a KCC advisor today. I'll also look into their special needs office and ask if there are any other blind students on campus. Maybe I'll find one with a dog guide. Dekalb has a shortage of visually impaired people as does where I live now. I hope everything turns out.
I am suddenly hungry.Off to find some food.

Anyone know how to calculate GPA? I need it written down. Someone explained it to me once and I still don't remember. I'm not going to say I can't afford to fail a class. I already know that for myself.

However, I have very bad testing anxiety and I also am a huge procrastinator. Sad for someone who goes to community college. If I fail out of MCC, I'll probably die inside. Not gonna lie though, there are a few classes that really rocked the boat.

I'll be surprised if something goes right and I get a C for U.S. Government. I couldn't get into the computer labs to print out the documents I wanted to study from. Why? Everyone is in there printing out last minute assignments. That'll be me on Tuesday and Wednesday.

After 5 PM today, I'll have 1 final and a paper to complete Wednesday.

Not too excited about my psych or govt exams.
