two.

tomorrow is my last day of summer school!
so i have my two finals tomorrow.
i've calculated it out and it looks like i can get under 65% on each final to keep my A in both classes.
so why do i still feel anxiety!? i think it's because i would be disappointed with anything close to that grade on either of these tests. i'm hoping to finish strong. :]
i gave my last speech today, which was a relief. after class, my new friend mary and i were talking about how neither of us feel like we've really become better speakers as a result of the class. i think the main things that have made me better at public speaking were early experiences... like those presentations in mr. johnson's class and the whole science fair experience, and then during college, i think teaching really helped me get better at being comfortable speaking to large groups and definitely presenting my research in lab meetings, proseminar, and during poster day was probably the biggest help. i wish i could say that i took something more valuable away from this class. oh well... it's another pre-requisite checked off my list.

in other news, i bought two new pairs of shoes on monday. i decided it was time to purge a few, and i'm not going to allow myself to take the new ones out of their boxes until i get rid of two old pairs. that should be a good motivator. :]
i've also been helping to look after two little boys in the mornings a couple days a week. i help get them ready and then take them to school and whatnot. so i have two car seats in the back of my car these days, and i have two cds of funny sing-along music in my car. ha. good times. even if it means i only get three or four hours of sleep per night.

alright. i'm exhausted. hoping to get six hours of sleep tonight, which will feel amazing. :]
