Today was ok. I woke up really early to the animals at the stupid zoo next door barking (I call it a zoo because my stupid neighbors have a lot of freaking animals and they're loud and out of control). I went to talk to my professor about my midterm that I failed on Monday, he said that still if I get a 74 at least on my final exam that I'll have a B... THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!! Final exams are always easy for me (its cumulative... and half of the questions on the exam are RIGHT OFF of the past two exams we've taken! So I think I'll be fine! Gosh I hope so. I have lots to do this weekend.

I also learned that I really did have an anxiety attack with my test. Thats the super cool thing about an Anatomy and Physiology professor. They can tell you anything!!! They're super awesome! He told me that basically when you have an anxiety attack you have emotional, behavioral, somatic and physical compontents that create what happens to you when you ahve the attack. What happens is you freak out which shuts your thalamus off which creates the adrenaline rush (fight or flight syndrome) and then because your thalamus shuts off it prevents you from thinking critically about something. Think about it, when you see a bear, you get the fight or flight syndrome and you haul ass... that doesnt require critical thinking... it requires generalized thinking as to BEAR = OH GOD = RUN? = YES, RUN...

Damn... I guess you can see that I know my stuff... LOL! See I shouldn't be failing these stupid fucking exams. Gosh! Well anyways. I'm tired. I gotta sleep!
