I can't wait for my poli-sci exam to be over with! I have been studying my ass off, and will probably still do lousy. It's at 9AM sharp.... All I want is a C+ *crosses fingers*

It's been a long day today. I worked a short 8-12 shift, but I had other things on my mind, and time dragged. Shirley said I looked liked a caged lion pacing back and forth in the lab most of the morning while it was slow. I managed to pick up an extra 5 hours yesterday by going in my day off.. doing the best I can to make a little extra money.

Dad is still on strike, and we are all very worried. He came back from a specialist today, and he will have to have surgery on his shoulder now. Poor guy is falling apart. There is a good chance that my family will lose their medical coverage in January if the strike continues. Needless to say, we are all very scared at this point. Hard to really settle down and enjoy the holidays.. you're always afraid of what's going to happen next.

It will be awesome when school is completely done for the semester. I look forward to actually leaving the house and visiting with friends. Haven't seen Anne or Jason in ages, and miss them both. I have to get my ass in gear and start my Christmas baking too. :-)
