Headaches and Hearts

I'm sitting here, having just finished my two class assignments listening to my cousing Nate's new cd (Nathan Wayne, In Behalf of The Fool). It's a great cd, I highly recommend it and not because he's family, but because it's DANG GREAT!! So I decided to blog. I woke up with the worst headache this morning! Bob woke me up to give me my Valentine's before I had to go to school. He woke me out of a very deep sleep and scared the bejeebers out of me! I remembered I was going to get my test scores today which made my headache worse. Nothing a ton of diet coke wouldn't take care of!
I got my first Sociology test back with a score of 87%. I was stressing out so bad last week because of this test in Sociology and a Psychology test on the same day. By the time I got home Friday, I stressed myself into a small Fibro attack but it subsided by Sunday so it wasn't too bad. One thing my Sociology Professor believes in is variety! The test had 100 questions and very little was true/false. There was one section (all multiple choice) that I didn't miss any on. There were 24 questions that was match the term to the definition, and the rest was another type of matching questions. He added some extra credit questions but docked me on the extra credit one point for saying "residence" instead of "place of residence." Picky Picky!! This guy is tough! I missed getting an A by three points and I was kind of surprised at how upsetting it was to me! Should I really be that upset over not getting an A? I think it was because I had studied so hard and thought I really knew the material. I read one section wrong and messed that one up! Oh well, in this class if I get an A on the final, that's the grade I get for the class so it doesn't really matter what I get on the other three tests. So I think I will not stress about this any more! I've just got to get that A on the final!
I did have a great Valentine's Day at school, though! I did a class presentation that had a possibility of five points. A lot of kids did the presentation. It was all extra credit. It didn't really need it but I thought it would give me a buffer if I did poorly on a future test. I remembered that I had an old two color poster board laying around the house and we had to present on one of the theories of love. I did the Lee & Sternberg's Attachment theory of love. This theory states that your attachments as an adult are related to the attachment you had to your mother as an infant. If your mom was attentive, etc. you should turn out to be a secure adult, if your mom avoided bonding then you should turn out to be an insecure adult in relationships. Fascinating. Anyway, I did infant on one side and adult on the other. My poor board was ripped in a couple of places, had something sticky on it and I spilled diet coke on it on the way into class! I pretended that it looked marvelous and the teacher gave me a full five points credit. She told me as I was leaving the class that of all the presentations, I was the only one that got a full five points!! What a great start to the day, and then at lunch the student council had a cute Valentine's Day thing going on. They had speed dating but I couldn't talk Bob into that activity. ;) They also had balloons with prizes attached. I threw three darts and won two prizes. Since I could only claim one, I got a big heart shaped box of chocolates that I gave Bob for Valentine's Day. He came and had lunch with me which was really fun! We decorated and ate a heart shaped sugar cookie......yum!!
I then went to Psychology and got my test back wich I had scored 95% on! Yay!! That really made my day! I also turned in another extra credit assigment that gave me an additional 4.75 points for that class in case I might need it in the future. Ok, so I'm slightly anal. I am super stressed with all the work I have to do. I did a lot of reading and writing notes over the weekend for a couple of my classes. I thought I was actually ahead then got to class this morning and found out that I had two writing assignments due today! Holy Cow! I totally forgot to pay attention to the sylabus for that class. She was so sweet to let me get them turned in by midnight tonight. I got home from math, typed them up, and emailed them to her. Phew! I don't know if I'll get full credit, but at least they're done.
Bryce paid me an awesome compliment tonight about how proud of me he is and how amazed he is at how hard I'm working in school. I told him, "Right back at ya kiddo"! In fall, Shane will be joining us so there will be four Park family members in college. Catalin (Reese's fiance) is going to the Police Academy in the Spring or Summer.
Side note: Reese had her ultrasound this morning. She's having a boy! I was secretly hoping for a girl but am so excited that it just doens't matter! It is becoming more real as time goes on. I've been too scared to get too attached after our last grandbaby didn't get this far in pregnancy but so far so good with Reese. They are really excited since they both wanted a boy. Due date is July 9th.
