This is my tiny little corner of the blogosphere to rant and rave about the things politicians and others say to make me angry.....

HAH!

I don't know how I do it! BUT.....I managed to get really good grades this semester! Check this out:

I have one class still pending a grade, but I know it's between an A and a B. Not including that class, I have five A's, two B's, and ONE C. That's it...9 classes, only 1 C!!! *happy dance*

AND...I am now proving myself techno-savvy, by creating two more weblogs for the upcoming year for Senate and a Senate committee. I so rock!

Little late...but better than not at all!

Here's a chuckle for today....

You're 85% Irish
Congratulations, you're a shining example of an Irish lass (or lad).There's hardly anyone more Irish than you!
How Irish Are You?

And the new Student Body VP is....

It's not official yet; the elections don't take place until the first week of April. But I'm not opposed, so .... I may as well be in office already. Yay! (Happy Dance.)

Along the same lines....ooh. My stress level has so dropped, after my explosion on Wednesday. I had a long, fairly sequestered Spring Break, got a lot of work done, and instituted a brand new schedule. No Homework After Ten. Period. And I am in bed before midnight.

Baby update, since I was preoccupied last post....
Had the sonagram...kid is Stubborn. Took an hour and a half, and she still didn't move to where the tech could measure her head. (Don't officially know sex..."her" just sounds a lot more humane than "it".) In the process of trying to get her to move the skull, she kicked at us, flipped us off, and moved her little mouth..like she was telling us off. *sigh* Not even born, and she has her mama's attitude. And her father's mannerisms.

And I have to find a new OB. Yeah...the one I was seeing prescribed (after two meetings) an anti-depressant that is known to cause birth defects. Grrr....that is my child he is hurting! So, I am not taking the meds, and I am finding someone else. Hopefully this month.

Think that's it.

Better.

So, I blew up, yelled, ranted, shoved assignments back at people, went incommunicado, missed some class, and now I feel better. HA!

Yeah...I went into school Wednesday just long enough to tell people wehere the H*** to shove their ideas and left. I gave back three projects, in great detail about how they will be finished and when by, and told everyone in ALL of my offices: "If it isn't on my schedule already for March, your answer is no. DON'T ASK. And if I don't have concrete plans with you over spring break, don't call me. I WON'T answer the phone." I think it was effective. And I feel better. Now if I could just get my homework all caught up too.....

Oh, and baby appointments. They were okay, I guess. Baby is stubborn already! Took an hour and a half in the ultrasound, but got a lot of pics out of it. And yesterday, the doctor put me on Zoloft for my depression. We'll see if it works, but so far all I feel is a big old migraine.

Keeping it short today.

So...

Yeah. I am very close on the verge to melting down. I am doing way too much, I am doing it by myself. I don't have enough time for it all. (I don't even get to sleep tonight, but I need this minute to rant, and hopefully I'll feel better for it.)

I am not getting the help or support I need. BabyDaddy is not the most supportive man in the world, as much as I care for him. Grr. He gets sick, I run him over hot, homemade soup. I, carrying his spawn, would like a steak, which I don't know how to cook well. Will he come help me? No. I get told "Cook it your damn self. Use the broiler." (FYI: I have an electric stove. There is no broiler.) He gets sick again (WHY is he getting all the attention while I am the pregnant one?!) So I go to the store, buy him cold medicine and tea, and myriad things to make him feel better because he is too lazy to take care of himself, and drive it across town to him! I take an hour that I should, by all rights, be studying, and devote it to him. So can he spend time with me? No. It would inconvenience him. Should I be worried?

And on that note, I am not one to usually cave to petty female jealousy and insecurity. But WTF is up with all the little girls that post him on his facebook, and that he writes to? All of his friends are girls...and they are all darn cute too. Meanwhile, I am growing larger by the day, feeling completely unwanted and unattractive to boot. What's a girl to do? I mean, he has to be around for Baby, and he knows it. But if he isn't meeting my needs as well...?

Plus, here's the latest rundown. 9 classes, a week behind in each. Over a dozen freaking projects. On my own. I need help people. I need help. I can't do it all alone.......

Calm before the storm, or peace after it?

Okay, so today has been really great.
1:I got to sleep in!
2:I had no meetings (for once) which meant I got to wear (gasp) jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie.
3:I looked GOOD in said scrubby clothes.
4:I actually got my reading done for one of my classes
5:Baby moved!
6:Baby Daddy and I are on good terms again.
7:I have a foursome for the voting ticket for Student Government elections next month...we are going to be the winning ticket.

So...with all the good, is this the calm BEFORE a storm? Or is it just the peace (finally) after last weekend's big ol' fight with Baby Daddy? Could be both ways...I am desperately far behind in every single class (I am at least a week behind in each)...and have no idea how on earth I will catch up...plus elections come up soon, and I have over a dozen stupid projects that I am head of (why do people keep giving me responsibility????).

On that note, my independent studies media class that I am taking online has a group project. My group elected guess who as the leader....yeah, me. So much for not being in charge. So much for saying "No." to people. (Side note: Mom told me on the phone last night that I really need to work on my "no-voice"). AArgh. Good thing I'm havin' a good day.
