Things are going better!!

They're not perfect, but it's definately better!! I need alot of prayer that I will keep my temper though.

Blitz is back home with me, for which I am VERY glad. He still has those stitches in, but they'll be coming out tomorrow. His foot is healed, but this morning he woke up yelping with a limp in the same foot. He's not limping any more, but I still need to talk to the vet about it, because that means it's probably not completely healed.

We're still at the hotel, but it's a really nice one. We have two suites, one with two bedrooms and a living room/kitchen, the other with one bedroom and a living room/smaller kitchen. I spend the day in the smaller one to do my school in quiet, and at night I go in the bigger one with everyone else. (The big boys sleep in the small room though. For those of you who don't know, I have two younger brothers, a younger sister, and two older brothers.)

Torrey school's coming along. I'm getting better grades!! Got a 77 on my precis!! I know I sound REALLY dumb, saying that a 77 is good...But with TA standards, it actually is. Logic, however, (Which is also a TA class) ISN'T as hard, and I would be broken if I got anything less than a 95. Logic is all about learning the terms for things and such...Though this last chapter we did was...Difficult!! Lol. We learned how to find a logical equivalent of a statement...i.e., you change All dogs have fur to All non-furred things are not dogs. You have to change the quality, and negate the premesis, (Change ALL dogs have fur to NO dogs have non-fur) then switch the subject and predicate, (No non-furred things are dogs) then change the quality and negate the premesis again. (All non-furred things are not dogs.)

We had a term AND a precis due this week...And the book we precised was hard!! Ever read orthodoxy?? The content is GREAT, and I LOVED reading it. But the writing style is sloppy and goes in all directions, not fun when we're trying to convey the main flow of his argument. My term paper wasn't actually DUE this week, just the first draft, because we were peer-editing each others papers. When I finish it, I'll post it on here. I'm working on it right now, and than am sending it to a friend I have who is very good at proof reading, then I'll edit it again, show it to someone else, than that'll be my final draft. This week that is due, as well as a reflection for orthodoxy. For this book, I have a feeling the reflection will be alot easier than the precis, just because I'm not outlining it, but talking about ONE of his subjects. And he elaborates on all his subjects, so it'll be fine.

Anyway, just an update.
