The Chronicles of Kaitie Ban vol. 39
I’ve been trying to decide all day today, if this week was a good week or a bad week. The good things first: my parents bought me a plane ticket back to MA for part of my Spring Break!!! They saw how sad I’ve been lately and wanted to cheer me up. Money is incredibly tight in our household at the moment (who am I kidding, it is ALWAYS tight…), so this means 50000000 times more to me; I have LOCKED DOWNNNNN a ride-along opportunity with a Large Animal vet for next fall(more specifically, Vegas’ vet. He is super nice and graduated from UTK, which is on somedays my number one and other days my number two).
Now, the bad things: I studied SO HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD for my gen chem 2 test. I mean like every night in the library for the past week until 2am. We only had two weeks in-between our first test and the one on Thursday. It was intense. And I knew my stuff. I mean like knew it. I thought I was totally ready. I couldn’t have BEEN more wrong.
I wanted to cry! Out of the 150 some students in the class, about 95% didn’t finish the test. It was horrible. So, the professors have decided to let us all do the last page for an additional 22 points added to our test score, due next Friday. So THAT part of the story is AMAZING. God really does work in mysterious ways. But still, that feeling of utter defeat - I hate it. Chemistry definitely isn’t my thing. I can’t wait to start taking more bio classes.; my work hours have been severely cut. I mean, the BD gave me a total of 25 hours for the MONTH of March. Not the first week, or the second week but the whole MONTH. I only get a few dollars over min. wage per hour, so that doesn’t even total up to $200 after taxes. I don’t know how I’m going to pay bills. But I know Jesus has it alllll under control. Somehow, some way, it will all work out.
After seeing this all down in writing, I guess the week wasn’t too terrible. I think I’ll label it as “neutral”. How was your week?
