Begged for a grade?

Has anyone ever begged a Professor to raise their grade before? I have pleaded to both of my Professors to raise my grade by half a letter grade, but I'm not sure if I'm getting anywhere... any suggestions?

Christmas Tree Hunting

I can't help it, I really love this time of year! I love to have an excuse to shop and buy things for others that I can't really afford! I love to give gifts or happiness to those around me. I love looking for a Christmas tree in a tree lot that has fun little photo spots for the family. They also have their family dogs running around dressed as elves or whatnot... how fun is that? I love that I don't feel guilty to give Cooper a hot chocolate and not care if he spills it. I love getting Santa buttons even if you have to wait 2 hours to get one. It's just a fun time of year and it lasts for at least a month! I am excited to spend time with my family over the coming weeks and I hope to play a lot of games and drink some wine.

Wrap your head around it...

Well it's been awhile. I just had an interesting night. Why is it that when the wine is out, people become more weepy and teary? I just got into a heart to heart with my mom and her best friend about a struggle that we are trying to work through. They were both adamant about their position, but I still have a struggle with the whole thing. It's nothing serious or anything and we weren't fighting, but we just see things differently. I am coming from a very different place and it's just hard to except help when you feel like it is the selfish thing to do... the wine always contributes to tears and struggle I have found. But it also helps you express things in ways that you might not be able to other wise. I'm stressed, and my Pinot helps. (Wow, first blog back from a month and all I talk about is things that people won't understand and how beneficial wine can be! What a lush!) My mom told me tonight something that I need to consider: "Ronell, I know that you can't control your situation right now, and chances are that its not going to get better any time soon, so... you have to just wrap your head around the situation and get over it!" She's funny.

Flowers by Rocky

www.flowersbyrocky.blogspot.com

Hey everyone! I started a floral design blog for my mom, Rocky. It would be great if you could check it out and let us know what you think. She does flowers for weddings and other special occasions. We don't have a solid price system down, but I'm sure if she gets more business, we'll work something out. If you have anyone that you know that needs local floral design, let us know! The blog is very basic and I haven't posted many pictures on there yet. I will update it soon.

Flu

So Nate came down with the flu yesterday and I am totally baffled at what to do with Cooper. Is it too late and Cooper has already been exposed? Or can I keep them separated so Cooper doesn't get the flu? He's had the flu shot, but not the H1N1. Its making me really nervous! I just don't know what the best way to stay healthy is in this kind of situation. I got a stomach flu last year and Cooper got it right after I did. I felt horrible about it. I just hope Cooper doesn't get it!

HOMECOMING

Tessa made Homecoming court this year which is really exciting. She had a great time at coronation and I hope this whole week goes well. Nate and I are going to the football game on Friday. I've only been to about 3 games in the last 8 years, so it should be interesting. I think I'll feel really old. Oh well. I always look back and think, "were we really that annoying?" The answer is always, "Yes, we were!"

New Hobby?

I kind of feel like I'm in a rut lately. I feel like I am bored of doing the same things constantly and I need a hobby. Something fun, creative, and cheep. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
