The end of the semester is almost here; I can almost touch it. Four more finals to go, all of which require intense studying, and I will be in the clear until January 8th. I’m scared of getting my grades, like usual. I’m always scared. I think I’m on the right track, but I can never know… my Calculus class is based on a weird curve where only a certain number of people get A’s, B’s, etc… and maybe I screwed up on something in the middle of the semester and it is going to completely throw me off. Plus I know that fall semester isn’t my best, for one reason or another. But no matter what happens I have to keep my head up high and keep looking towards the future.
On a better note, I went to the humane society today for the volunteer orientation. As soon as finals finish rearing their ugly head, I’m going to put some time into working at the shelter. They have approximately 300 cats there, and an overcrowding of dogs. They need all the help they can get, and I am willingly lending a hand. I have also sent some emails and volunteer applications to NCISN and CHAPS, so hopefully I have some time to do that as well. I might have a job lined up starting in January, and it looks like everything is falling into place. I’m going to do some work for my Dad over the break to make some extra money. I need some to buy Christmas presents.
Sasha is getting spayed and front feet declawed on the 20th. She’s getting bigger, and she’s continually tearing things up. Plus she is hurting me really bad because she doesn’t understand the boundaries between claw and skin. She is still pretty good, and acts like a kitten which is to be expected at her age of four months. She is definitely spoiled rotten but I guess that’s better than her living in a shelter somewhere. Believe me, those cats in shelters don’t get much room – they are kept in cages almost the entire day. It’s sad, but it’s the reality of the situation. It’s the result of people not getting their animals spayed and neutered.
Okay, off to bed. Final at 1 pm, then studying all night for my Biology final on Thursday. Gah.

300 cats? Holy cow, we never had that many. I was a volunteer at the local Humane Society for several years, it was a good experience.
Good luck on your finals!
yeah, i got my neck torn up last night when beckett decided to jump on my back. he does that some times when he wants attention. my brother taught him that delightful little trick.
good luck with the finals girl! Don’t worry, study well and you’ll do fine. I’m freaking out, cuz results are out tomorrow!
and your cat is super cute! and wow…300 cats?
Wow, your results are out on the 19th? That’s really fast! Mine nearly a month after the exams. I would just faint if my results are out as soon as yours!
And yeah…maybe they want to be reassured that they are smart. But it’s kinda a annoying at times too.
You relax, and do your best k!
