I had a nasty infection that lasted about six weeks that took multiple courses of two different antibiotics (a challenge due to my allergies), all while finishing spring semester and beginning summer semester. Life has been something of a train wreck lately. My dad went off chemo and they're focusing on treating his pain. I've applied everywhere I can work on this side...Wed, 28 Jul 2021 21:43:04 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=22186https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=22186I haven't spent much time online being social lately. My marketing class is covering 5 chapters per week, and it's just draining the life out of me. Overall, it's easier than management with smaller quizzes and assignments rather than just three large tests, but it's still a lot of information to take in and actually absorb. Totally missing spring break about now.Fri, 02 Apr 2021 09:35:38 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=20979https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=20979...And then my Marketing class appeared. "What's that? Three chapters per week is challenging?" it asked, a sneer forming across its lip. "Then try....  FIVE chapters per week, you SLUT." What a semester x_@Mon, 22 Mar 2021 05:35:43 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=20513https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=20513Just took my last management exam and finished the course with a 99.14% - I missed one question on exam 3 and was docked half a point for the first paper for reasons. I received glowing feedback for my second paper, though, so that's what really matters. Marketing begins next week, and I am overall feeling a bit burned out and sorely missing spring break right about now.Thu, 18 Mar 2021 07:22:17 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=19994https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=19994I had to call my doctor's office to get a refill for my thyroid meds on Monday. While I was on the phone, the receptionist asked if I wanted to go ahead and schedule a physical. I was practically halfway through a pint of ice cream when I said, "...Sure." No surprise, my LDL cholesterol came back high. But, the good news is that all of my other lipids are in the ideal range, so my doctorSun, 14 Mar 2021 09:51:12 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=19494https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=19494It's warm, it's windy, there are thunderstorms, and my dad is outside tilling the ground for the garden. I am so humbled by his strength and willpower. If I were going through chemo to treat liver cancer, I probably wouldn't get out of bed.Thu, 11 Mar 2021 07:00:56 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=17650https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=17650My musical project was rushing to finish a song in time for Bandcamp Friday and we were almost done... and then today I went to turn on the work PC and got a Critical Process Died error. It won't allow a system restore, safe mode, or any method of direct control. I can access the system through the command prompt only and to no real use. At this point, I can't tell if it's a hardware or windows fa...Wed, 03 Mar 2021 22:47:28 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=16876https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=16876Took my first stats exam today. It ended up taking twice as long as it should have because I painstakingly write out all of my equations in LATEX. I have this nasty habit of fudging equations with my calculator (it's so easy to leave off a parenthesis...) so I hedge my bets by showing how the equations are set up so I'll get the majority of the credit in the case of a mistake. Case in point, on th...Tue, 02 Mar 2021 05:46:28 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=15909https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=15909So, I took my second management exam. The exam is online, open book and open note, but only because COVID restrictions closed the testing centers. So, I got 100%. But, I know the only reason that I did was because I had access to my book/notes. Even though I read every chapter and watched every lecture twice, so many of the questions were random and quasi-obscure rather than main points that there...Fri, 26 Feb 2021 06:45:29 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=15717https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=15717The first real bank of exams for the semester is hitting. Last week was my first Econ exam, Management Exam #2 is tomorrow, and next week is my first Stat 2 exam. I got 100% on Econ Exam #1 and Management Exam #1, so I'm hoping to keep the ball rolling. Getting kind of nervous about it, though. I'm thankful that they're at least spread out rather than all in the same week. Nothing will ever compar...Thu, 25 Feb 2021 09:31:53 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=13827https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=13827After spending most of yesterday unfreezing my kitchen pipes, I'm happy to report that there were no ruptures. I also avoided the rolling blackouts and my econ professor pushed the exam back, so that's dope. I spent all of today catching up on the work I was supposed to do yesterday while feeling sleep deprived. *yawn* I'm feeling like I've got more of a grip on the semester than I did a few weeks...Thu, 18 Feb 2021 07:18:39 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=13196https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=13196I submitted my first management paper last night and received the result this morning. My professor gave me a glowing response, so imagine my surprise when I saw that he gave me a 24.5/25. I sent him an email asking if there was anything I could improve for the next paper. The response? "98% is a really good score and it deserved a high A! Keep up the good work!" So, I was docked half of a point f...Tue, 16 Feb 2021 09:17:33 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=12423https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=12423I woke up two hours too early and couldn't fall back asleep. Knowing I was too tired to function, I finally managed to get another hour and woke up at 4:30pm. The whole day has just been...like that. It's really thrown off my internal clock and made the hours move in weird ways. On the bright side, I finished my econ homework and the rough draft for my management paper. So, yay! Tomorrow it's supp...Sun, 14 Feb 2021 06:51:05 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11981https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11981I'm taking macroeconomics this semester after taking microeconomics last semester. Same professor and, wouldn't you know it? Same lectures. As in identical power point presentations. On the one hand, it's great being able to recycle my notes - it's really doing my withered claw of a hand a favor - but, on the other, man is this boring. I think we're supposed to hit new material somewhere in mid-Ma...Sat, 13 Feb 2021 06:56:29 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11534https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11534Despite going to bed at a reasonable time last night, I am feeling wrecked today. I slept in until 2:30 pm when the cats began to jump all over me. Still trying to wake up now at 6 pm on my second cup of coffee. Maaaan, I need to get it together if I want to keep up on my classwork. I have a two page paper due on the 17th. Fffff....Fri, 12 Feb 2021 00:03:13 +0000https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11278https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=11278Like it never even left. Here we are again, 2005.Thu, 11 Feb 2021 04:40:28 +0000
