Weird Week

So, this week has been interesting to say the least.
Over homecoming weekend, I studied super hard for a chemistry exam that I had on monday. I felt super confident, and was ready to take the test.
I got finished with the test early, which is rare for me in that class, and felt pretty confident. I checked my answers against those in my study group, and we had almost all of them the same.
I get the e-mail from the test department right as I'm going out the door for work(that is why I love my Android Technology equipped phone), and find out that I got a 68%. I was not happy.
I get home from work, which was ok, but kinda long after getting that e-mail, and I decide to back up all of my information from my laptop to a friends computer(Thanks Andrew!), just in case.
I get that done, and it's now 2 am.
I get up Tuesday morning, and go to start my laptop, and it dies. I have my friend Charlie run a diagnostic on it, which brings up the message, hard disk failure imminent. On top of that, I lose my thumb drive that has about 48 hours worth of work on it, that I need for a class.
Wednesday, things start to turn around. I find out that my laptop is still under warranty, and they can fix it at Best Buy, I find my thumb drive, and I got to hang out with some friends.
So, all in all, this week has been pretty good, and it looks like it will only get better.

A New Excitement for College Life

I have been worried for the past few weeks about what I am going to study, and what I want my career to be. I couldn't stop worrying either.
I had a talk with my Dad yesterday about some things. School and work were two of them, and dating was another. He told me to focus on school, get good grades, and to choose something that excites me, that is going to pay the bills for my future family. He always knows what to tell me, and is always willing to help me out.
I have a great family, and plenty of time to start a career, and other things.
I just need to buckle down and get good grades, and the rest will fall into place.
