In Over My Head

I'm really starting to feel like I got myself in way over my head with school. It's been going well so far but another class just started today. I try to keep telling myself that it's all for the best but it's hard when you see just how much needs to be done. I feel like I have a ton of stuff to do (in actuality I don't think it's really that much...it's just that I'm perceiving it as a lot) and no time to do it. I really need to crack the whip...get things rolling. It's hard to concentrate at home because I don't like being there because of my mom and then because the dog wants my undivided attention. I feel bad because I haven't taken her out in a while. I put her on the lead twice last week and both times she got out of it. I don't know how she did it the first time because I had her in her harness but the second time I saw how she got out of the choke chain. I hate using a choke chain! It makes me feel like I'm abusing my dog but there was no other alternative. She chewed through her collar and like I said somehow she got out of her harness. I still don't know how she did it. I was just lucky she only got down the street both times and the second time my neighbor told me that she got out which was nice of her. Her dog gets out from time to time too only it's easier for me to get Keela back because all I have to do is pick up a stick whereas my neighbor has to chase her dog down with steak to get him to come in.

I don't know what else to do. I don't know where to go to get things done. I hate sitting at the library doing homework but I think that's what's going to have to happen. I could go over Keith's but I don't want to hinder anything he's doing there so who knows?! I'll figure something out. He has an appointment this morning. I hope it goes well. I'm petrified for him but I can't tell him that because that would make him feel bad. That's the last thing I want to do. If anything I want him to be happy and just have a good time. I think that's another part of why I feel like I can't get anything done. I feel like I should be doing stuff to help him out but I don't know what to do half the time. His birthday is coming up soon and I want to do something nice for hime but what that is I don't know.

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. It was warm but not really warm and sunny. We spent the day just driving around. We went to Loch Raven Reservoir just to look around and enjoy the day. That was pretty much it. I had a good time because it was something new for me. It took us a while to find it but we finally did. It took a bit for it to click in my head how to get there. I couldn't remember the name of the road until we were right up on it. It's been years since I've been there. It was good fun though and that's all that matters.

Spring!

There is one thing I hate about this time of year: sometimes it's just too nice out to be inside working or at school. The weekend was gorgeous! It wasn't really warm but warm enough for me to realize that spring is finally on it's way. I can't wait. I'm done with winter. It always seems like winter lasts forever. We went to play mini-golf on Saturday which was nice but I suck at it. I don't mind though...I wasn't the only one. Yesterday we went to play horse at the basketball course which was also fun. It was just too nice to sit inside the house. The rest of the week is supposed to be nice too. I just hope that the weather holds out through the weekend. You never know though. I had my midterms last week. I know I got an 88 on one of them but I'm really struggling in Astronomy. I don't know what else I can do to help me latch on to the information better. I read the material it just doesn't seem to want to stay in my brain. Maybe that's because there is a lot of science and stuff to it and my brain just fails in that capacity. Oh well. I'm trying though and the teacher knows I'm trying. I got a 94 on my history exam. I wasn't expecting that one at all. I'm actually starting to enjoy the class as time goes on. At first I was hating it but it's going well now. Everything else is going well though. I'm looking forward to the end of the semester already though. I have one more class that hasn't started yet. That starts next week. I need to play catch up with geography though. That class isn't half bad. I just wish there was more interaction. I think this weekend I'm going to try to see "300". I wanted to go this past weekend but that just didn't happen. Morgan's 7th birthday is this week too. I can't believe she's 7! It's kind of scary. I still don't know what I'm going to get her. She's kind of hard to shop for. I'll find something though. Well that's all for now. I'm going to watch the clock until 3:30 rolls around so that I can get out of here!
