I have a new favorite dinosaur. (Sorry, Diplodocus.)
After doing the math... I could skip my microbiology final and still get a "B" in the class.
Which - I'm not going to skip the final, but it's good to know that in the unlikely event I bombed it completely - I would still get a grade I'm happy with for the course.

Mostly chaotic good, but with true neutral and lawful evil tendencies.
BIG NEWS:
On Tuesday, my eldest told me they wanted to take the GED; "Mom, let's make an appointment, and go do it."
And today, with no expectation other than facing down a thing that felt big and scary - they sat for 4 exams and PASSED on the first attempt, without study or prep.
This kid has spent the past 4 years surviving treatment resistant depression and murder brain.
This kid is a total badass. I am so fucking proud to be their mom.
"Mom! There was no rocket blast off with an astronaut that woked me up today! Yeah. It wasn't noisy!"
Littlest - at 8:04 when I finally went in to wake her up so we wouldn't be late to school today.
Kiddo in the bath, singing:
“Wash the grubbies away! Wash the grubbies away! Now they’re clean, squeaky clean!
Can I eat the soap, Mom? Mom says no, don’t eat soap! I won’t eat soap.”
