My mom's awsome.

I just got off the phone with my Mom. She's awsome. We spent an hour talking about books in the reading que and movies we want to see. She just finished reading the newest Nora Robert's triolgy, and A Child Called "IT", and is now into the Nora Roberts Christmas book I gave her for christmas. I love that my mom reads this much...I'm not sure why. And she's so open-minded about what she reads... I don't know... it's just cool.

She has this attitude of "Just press on, and everything will get sorted out". I know it comes from experiance, but I always find it really refreshing that she can listen to what I'm saying, and say "oh, well, these things happen", but still be sympathetic about it.

Yeah. Mom rocks.

Anyways, that's all I really have to say for tonight. I think, just for giggles, that I'll go up to the school early tomorrow (like, 10am instead of 3pm) and work on some of these assignments. Jo and I got to talking today, (she's in both of my psych classes), and we've realized that studying is going to be a hard-core thing this term... Especially for Psych of Ed. I get the material, but his tests and I don't agree. And since there's no exam in that class, I have to kick ass on the last test to really pull up my grade in the class. So I want to be able to have time for that, especially since that test is the day before my Exam in PSL, which covered a lot of content. Though I understand all of it (for the most part), there's still a lot to go over, especially in regards to heteronormativity.

I need to pick and widdle down my topic for my PSL essay, as well as come up with some sources, since it is a research paper, so I think that will be tomorrow's quest. Thursday might wind up being a day I spend just at the school doing research and writing that essay and my drama essay... at least part of it. And I need an article for my learning presentation. I'm hoping that if I come up with ideas for the intro and conclusion, as well as the historical blurb (for which I'm using one of my own psych books) and a modern article (which is the basis of the assignment), that the other person in the group can throw it all into power point and do his share, and we can really kick ass on this project. I mean, I got a 72% on the midterm, but only because of that wonky 7 bonus mark fiasco... I should have gotten a 55% (which was the class average). I just want something that will keep me afloat should the Exam not go well.

So, I know it's crunch time, but I don't think that this time it's hitting me as hard. I kinda have a plan, and I know what I need to do. Tonight, I'm working on some "external" projects, so I have nothing extra-curricular on the back burner. And getting a good night's sleep.

That's the plan, at least...
