Finals and (Chicken) Fingers
Posted in Uncategorized and tagged with Pictures, Pregnancy, School on 11/13/2008 01:12 am by afcyrusIn case you didn’t know, Tasha and I are inmates (er, students?) at Louisiana Tech University. We’re up for parole after I graduate this Summer (or so it looks at this point in time). Louisiana Tech is on a quarter system rather than a semester system. This means there are Fall, Winter, Spring (these three make up a normal school year), and Summer quarters. Summer quarter is broken down into two sessions. Well, Tasha and I just completed the Fall quarter. Finals are always tough and stressful, but this quarter, Tasha and I had some additional stress influencing our grades. Monday, Tasha had her Math 101 Final and I had my CIS 323 Final. Monday night, Tasha and I were playing with our kitten, and I was sitting on the floor. I went to stand up and *POP*… I fell down. I winced in pain and held my knee close to my body. It was a familiar pain. It felt just like it did when I torn my LCL the first time… So, we went to LSU Health Science Center in Monroe, La (free for poor folks like us!). They did X-Rays (which won’t show ligaments), but they concluded that I, at the very least, sprained my LCL, but that I likely tore it at one of the points where the surgery had bolted down the cadaver ligaments. We finally left the hospital at around 6am. We got home and in bed by 7. We both had a Biology 102 final…
…at 10. I also had an ROTC briefing at 2 and an ROTC final at 3. Needless to say, we got little studying done that night, and we were both exhausted throughout the day.
Tasha and I both got an 83 on our Biology final. Before the cheating accusations come out, I should tell you we had different tests! I’ve gotta admit though, it is a bit suspicious!
Tasha had her Geology final today, and I had a comprehensive final in my CIS class to make up for a test I missed while I was working in Boston.
Anyway, Tasha managed to get an A in Math, a B in Geology, and a B in Biology. I think that’s pretty awesome for a girl juggling baby appointments, a sick husband (earlier in the quarter), a broken-knee husband (see above), and all sorts of other hindrances that go along with having a husband (named Cyrus Robinson). I’m proud of her!
I got an A in Biology (89.89% rounded up to an A, thank God), a B in ROTC (yeaaaah, I had an A until the final…), and I am still waiting on the results of the CIS comprehensive final (I needed a 17% for a B and a 71% for an A). Overall, it was a pretty hectic quarter.
So, there’ve been some special requests for pictures. There’ll be more to come, but here are a few.
Jon Copeland asked for me to start training Caney to enjoy Cane’s, and to document it. Soooo, tonight I went to Raising Cane’s to celebrate the end of the quarter!
Mmmmm, Caney with Raising Cane's!
Soooo, Tasha’s Mom also wanted some new side-profile pics of the baby bump. I agree, and so with no further ado:
I know, I know... Wal-Mart does not like people to take pictures in the store, but my wife is just so pretty! I could not resist.
Ok, that’s all for tonight. I promise more pictures soon! For now, I’m off to Crescent City Coffee to hang out with Rex.

Well, I have an appointment on 11 February, but I’m not sure if they will actually do an MRI or just check up on how I’m feeling or whatever. As for the picture, no problemo. There are more to come!
We believe that God has a plan, and His wisdom is greater than our foolishness. My knee might be hurt, but everything will work out the way it needs to!
