Statistics. Statistics. Statistics. I absolutely loathe everything that has to do with Statistics. I've been struggling since the class had begun back in January, but I've reached a point where I'm in deep shit, to be blunt. My professor and I had a talk after class and we tried to figure out something to get my grade up since it is really hurting at the moment. Making up a quiz on chapters I haven't done yet tomorrow morning at 10AM isn't exactly a good start to helping my grade pull itself out of a ditch, but I guess I don't have a choice right now. All I can really do is work my ass off for the remainder of the semester and hope for the best. Statistics is at 930AM, that was a lovely start to my day...the bad mood carried on for a majority of the day unfortunately.

I actually hadn't been to class in about a week, which means I missed two classes due to my ghastly sleep schedule which forced me to sleep through the class once and the other I missed due to sickness. So I was getting homework back from late February and starting in the beginning of another chapter in class. I am beyond confused. It's something I'll have to face and I'll probably have to fail a few more times, but I think after the quiz tomorrow and the test next week I can start somewhat fresh.

I very much enjoy my work and today was just as fun as it always is. I spent the entire shift at the front desk, which I actually prefer because I have time to myself. Recently I've been working on a short story, just for fun really. I just changed my major to Professional Writing and I've been trying to get back in the groove and get the creative juices flowing, but it's been difficult. I spent my shift working on my story and didn't have much luck. I resorted to watching Hey Arnold on Netflix. It may seem extremely childish and...well it is, I'm reliving my childhood though and I think it's because I'm trying to hold onto it as long as I can. Adulthood is around the corner and it's more than frightening. Cartoons at the moment are my outlet.

Though work was long and unproductive, my afternoon turned out to be great! Andrew and I took a trip downtown so I could pick up the film I got developed from my birthday bash last week. Burly is very cold lately, but that didn't stop us from walking up and down Church St a few times. We had to run to the bank to cash my last paycheck where we ran into a classmate of ours in the intersection. He was driving and we were walking, funny encounter. After that we went to Sky Burger for a bite to eat. Sky Burger is one the best if not the single best place to eat in Burly. It's a nice Mom and Pap's place, family owned and absolutely delicious. At the end of our meal which consisted of delicious Mama Sky Burgers, we got a Hot Fudge Sundae to split! I couldn't stomach any more food, but Andrew took care of that for me. It was topped with two cherries and roasted marshmallows, yum!


Once we were stuffed, we sat in Borders and looked at the photos I'd had developed. They were hilarious! And I didn't realize how much I had missed film! The moments that I had captured seemed so different in a film photo than in a digital one and the photo's themselves captured such funny moments. There were great ones, keepers for sure. I showed them to Morgan, Lauren, Nick, Gareth, and Andrew and each one of them laughed. It meant a lot. I put them in a photo album I had brought from home so I can start keeping my photos in one place. More film cameras will be purchased in the future.

 

Once the day had calmed down I tried to sit back and just enjoy the rest of my day. I spent some time with Gareth in his room just talking about our day a little bit and then took the rest of the night to watch some shows with Andrew. All in all it was a good day, though it started off rocky. Hopefully things will pick up!
