Who knew!?!?

Yayyy!!! Im Smart!!!!
This summer has been full of hard work for me. You think summers tend to be a break from things, but I actually cannot wait until school starts because that will suprisingly be a bit of a break. Its just that summer is that time you feel you have the extra time, whatever that means. You feel like you can sleep in, and "play". Due to all this extra time you feel you have, at least for me, I tend to fill myself up with extra classes to fill in all that extra time. I mean.. who doesnt want to do that? So I signed myself up for two classes in the summer, already a large undertaking considering the fact that a regular 16-18 week course is being crammed into 6-8 weeks. I took a Sociology course in the beginning of summer, lasting for 8 weeks. Then I took a Math course, my least favorite subject, lasting for 6 weeks. If you think you will have all that extra time that summer gives our generously, think again. It doesnt happen. Between studying and going to classes, which are 4 days a week for two hours.. its just exhausting to be honest. Then I wanted to get a summer job, a more steady paycheck then hair tends to give. My savings account is lacking these days. Its just been a lot of work. I havent gotten home until about 7pm each night because after I would go to school, then I would go to work, and then I would go do hair. Needless to say, I am tired, as usual. People ask why I do this to myself because I know the undertaking before I even sign up, but I just like to be done. I like hard work to pay off. I like the feeling of knowing I am moving forward, and the faster I can move forward the better. People also say that its crazy to go fast because once you get your job you get that for life and things never change. Strange as it seems, I am ready for that. I am ready for the real job, for connecting with patients. I am ready to be successful. I just dont like to waste time. If I can do it now, then why not? Anyways... yesturday was my last day of math! MY LAST MATH CLASS EVER!!!! I was stressing about my final, and I was supposed to get my application in to Indiana earlier this month but I was sure I wouldnt pass math. So I take my test, he said grades would be ready by 5pm, and my friend texted me at about 3pm saying to hurry and check! I was shaking! All I wanted was a C, that was it. I logged on and had to check my grade about 5 times just to make sure I read it right. Not only did I pass math, my worest subject ever... but... I GOT AN A!!!! Do you have any idea what a miracle this is?!?!?! Not only did I take two summer classes, while trying to manage two jobs, but I actually got two A's! And not only did I get passing grades but I can finally read Breaking Dawn!!! The book has been sitting on my dresser staring at me. I havent allowed myself to read it while trying to manage these classes. So wow.. I am smart! Who knew!?!
