Calm Before the Storm

I'm not sure how I'm functioning today! I was in class last night and tired as usual, then we had a heated ethical debate and I got my second wind and couldn't get to sleep till after 1 in the morning. Then the alarm went off at 5am and I thought about sleeping in for another hour but I was wide awake, weird huh? So I shot out of bed, had a great workout at BodyAttack and now I'm at work...I predict my espresso crash to arrive around 2:15 this afternoon =)

I received my syllabus for my next class that starts in a couple of weeks. I'm sooo scared...I seriously got sick to my stomach reading it, I have major math anxiety...

...HELP!

I ordered my textbook last night and after looking at the details of it this morning, I realized that it's 834 pages!! Is 834 pages of Statistics REEEALLY necessary?

I am however, SO excited to watch TV tonight! =) Sad, because it's the Season Finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Oh how I will miss the sugar daddies, bad parenting, disregard of the bad economy, and fantastic hairstyles that wouldn't move if a tornado blew through them...

And pumped because it's the Season PREMIERE of The Real Housewives of New York City!

Bethany is my favorite, her sarcastic humor is right up my alley. She really tells it like it is, good, bad, or ugly!

So yes, I'm going to enjoy the calm before the storm tonight and relax. Then tomorrow, our professor is emailing us our Take Home Final to get started on and hopefully my book will come in this week so I can start reviewing all the statistics info that I completely forgot how to do since Undergraduate Statistics...I've slept since then after all!
