I got the results back, and the score on the Chemistry exam was a 78- which is just shy of the A grade I was shooting for. However, there are some bonus points that were not tallied yet so it's still possible that I will have gotten the A nonetheless. Tomorrow I have another Economics exam and it looks like its going to be another piece of pie. Again, I won't be relaxing my efforts to study but I don't anticipate additional difficulty.

That being said, its getting towards the end of the semester. I still have 4 labs to write up, another Physical Chemistry exam, two final exams and an oral presentation to complete. Seems like a lot, yes? Well one step at a time, one problem at a time.

I found out I need more work done on my car- small stuff really but it can add up over time. I'm going to need new rear brakes and four tires. I've got a couple good estimates and the money to pay for them(I love my emergency fund!). Now all I need is the time to complete them.

On my mind lately has been Dave. The prognosis isn't good, and from what his aunt told me, Dave's health isn't improving and it looks worse and worse as time goes on. When I talk to Dave I try to keep him optimistic. When I spoke to him last Thursday, he mentioned going into criminal justice once he gets healthy. I thought it would be an awesome goal for him to reach. I tried to see him on Sunday, but alas he was sleeping. I'm going to try to see him today as well. Please, I ask everyone who reads this to keep Dave in your prayers, and pray for the best of all outcomes.

I did survive the exam. It took much longer than the one hour time she had allotted, but we were allowed to go over the time limit, thankfully. I did well on most of it, and did poorly on exactly what I expected: the calculus. The next exam will likely be just as intense but I expect to do better with the calculus. I won't know for sure until I'm at the point. The results are not in yet, but I expect they will be soon.

I can't believe the end of the semester is fast approaching! While I'm excited to be finished with classes, I'm more excited about the prospect of getting a second job and working faster to pay down my debt. Strange isn't it? I have a strong motivation to do so, and I only hope it lasts at the end of April.

I'm about to head to bed. Tomorrow(well today, it's after midnight) I take my second Physical Chemistry exam. I'm not as stressed as the last exam but I definitely feel the pressure. I hope I have everything down and I don't blow up on the calculus. I'll have a few hours in between my Economics class and the Chemistry class, so that will give me some extra time to study. I am amazed at my own focus for this class. I have no idea how I am doing it, but I am doing it. I think God is involved somehow.

Wish me luck!
