Relief

[averygoodun42]

Well, this morning I found mental, if not physical, relief. I'm pretty sure what's wrong with my jaw is that my Sjogren's is flaring, rather than anything dire.

Granted, that means I'm on a diet of anti-inflammatories and pain killers until it calms down, but at least it isn't an infection. Probably. (There's a question of whether I have an ear infection that's getting masked by the parotid swelling, or if the swelling is causing the ear pain. If the ear pain is still there by the end of the week, I'll go to the doctor anyway.)

On the plus side, I don't have to restrict myself to soft foods for the next couple of weeks. Though I'd still love a bowl of oatmeal... :-(


Last accounting test (less the final) was today. No idea how I did, but I suspect relatively well. It had a slightly different questioning format, and there were two multiple choice questions I really wasn't sure about. Especially the last one (I gave an explanation for my answer, as I wasn't quite sure what the "correct" answer was in the prof's mind, though I know what the FASB has to say about it).

*shrug* I think I'll still get an A in the class, even if I didn't rage on this test. After all, most of my test scores have been solid A's and my paper was favorably received. So that's good.


Biology... No idea. I may get my first -A. Possibly even a B. I think I'm still doing better than most of the other students in the class, though. Before the test on Friday, we had to fill out the evaluations, so I put a fair amount of my suggestions on it. I'm hoping he learns from it rather than is discouraged from it, because he could be an awesome teacher if he ever got his shit in order.

Speaking of biology, I should go study. Need to finish up chapter 10 and start chapter 11. I do not see how we're going to get through chapter 12, considering this is the last week of classes. (Unless he uses Lab as a lecture, which I'd be fine with.) But whatever. I will definitely be interested to see what my official grade for this class is.
