College Life

Hello my beloved, how are you all doing?  I just came back from taking a final and all I have to say is that it is in God's hands now! I tried to study so hard, but at the same time, it's hard being an adult, while trying to finish school! Everytime I tried to study, I had a parent calling me to take their kid here, I had to drop one kid off there. I had a toddler begging for my attention, my mother asking me to babysit, while she runs a quick errand and the whole time, I'm like..But I HAVE TO STUDY?! Nope, doesn't matter. When you are a responsible adult, all of a sudden your "To Do list" outshines your priorities.

So there I was a half an hour before class, trying to get as much reading and studying in that I possibly could, before the professor walked in.  Luckily, she had a brief class with us to help put our minds at ease and even gave us a couple of the answers; but then the test started! I felt ok about probably the first 6 or so questions, but then I started getting these questions like:

7.) "Timmy called out "ball" to refer exlusively to his blue ball, what linguistic phonological process is he exhibiting?"

8.) "Timmy called out "ball" to refer exlusively to all blue balls, what linguistic phonological process is he exhibiting?"

9.)"Timmy called out "ball" to refer exlusively to not just blue balls, but all circular objects (shape, eggs, balloon, etc.), what linguistic phonological process is he exhibiting?"


All that I started thinking was, who is this "TIMMY" and what is up with all these "BLUE BALLS?" But I couldn't let a little blue balls questions, distract me, so I kept pushing forward. I started regaining my composer, but then I remembered I was hungry because I didn't eat before the test and now my head is starting to hurt. All I could think was "DANG IT, WHY DIDN'T I EAT BEFORE THE TEST?!!" But still, I kept pushing through to the next questions. Eventually, I just kept telling myself, "When in doubt, choose C." Quite frankly, I'm not that confident about what grade I am going to be getting for this class, but at this point, I will be over joyed if I pass with a C!!!...Until next time....
