On to October

     College is hard.
     Finals are tough.
     Caring about people is difficult sometimes.
     Life in general is tough.

     "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as if though it intends to spin on," Nick Fury, The Avengers. That movie has a ton of great quotes. But that particular one has been stuck in my head recently.
   
     Nano's really not doing very well. So Mom's been over there often. And Banjo got bitten by a pygmy rattlesnake this afternoon. So he's not feeling too great.

     This was how my weekend went: Visit RSU on Friday, turn right around and cover Beggs-Okmulgee football, then write a story on the game and turn it in; four hours of sleep and then three tests on Saturday, skip church this morning and take another test. That's what most our schedules have looked like for a while.
     Claremore seems like a nice town, from what little we saw of it driving through. Susan says it's a lot like Tahlequah. So that explains it. The campus of RSU was pretty quiet, it was a Friday afternoon. There were lots of really nice buildings. Instructors seem to really care about their subjects and want students to learn, so that's a good thing. The radio station is pretty cool.

     Pretty sure I locked up an A in government; scoring 20-of-20 on all three essays and 96-of-100 on all three tests. Word I'm really just hoping to survive; and it seems like from what miniscule feedback there is with other students that others are worried, too. I think I got an 85 on the third test, an 87 on a retake of the first test(previous 71) and an 87 on retake of the second(I think that was an 83 first try.) None of these have been graded yet, so I'm not really sure how I'm doing in that right now. But it's almost over, so that's a negative reward to look forward to(psychology reference; when something unpleasant is taken away). Finals for Word and government this week, and then getting back into biology before Photoshop starts next Monday.

     "You might be a homeschooler if your bed doubles as your desk..." Yep, there's another great new Blimey Cow video to watch.
     Really thankful for the cats, they just live Hakuna Matata. (Which I don't, at all.)
     Watched a bit of football on Saturday, and the Cardinals are back in the NL playoffs. And the Royals are doing well, too, in the AL playoffs. Hockey's about to start, and the state's fixing to get coated in Thunder blue again.
