Frustrations

There are a lot of things annoying me right now, but I'm trying not to let them get the best of me. Especially after God's miraculous financial provision this past week, I'm trying to be grateful...but it's not easy.

First of all, there's the fleas. They are still not gone yet...on the contrary, the traps are still collecting their bodies like they're going out of style. I actually found one biting my arm today while I was taking a nap. That's a first; I've never had one on me while I was in bed before.

The second major annoyance is just my schoolwork. The rapid pace here at ERAU is killing me. It wasn't bad near the beginning of the semester, because I had all day Thursday and nearly all day Tuesday to study and play catch-up. But now that I'm working on those days, I really only have evenings to do that...and more often than not, those become occupied as well. I am falling badly behind in Fluid Mechanics, and I'm not exactly "current" on any class except possibly Team Software Engineering. It's so hard to get caught up when you're behind. It will all come to a head soon, as midterm exams loom on the horizon. I have to be caught up by that point, or bad things will happen.

I guess those are just the two major annoyances that have me a bit frustrated right now. They're quite manageable, all in all...I just need to get my academic act together. Brittany (Jesse's sister) is going to take Lucy (the cat) to her vet to be de-fleaed. Once that happens, Lucy will actually be an ally against the fleas because she'll literally be a roving flea trap. Anyways, Brit is going out of town this weekend to Celebration (like HOFCC's Family Camp, almost), so that may not happen until next week.

All in all, life is going well. I have no complaints about the weather recently (although it is just a smidgeon hot today). I do want to be more faithful about getting up early to work out though...it always seems to set the tone for a successful day when I do so.
