ups and downs
So. On the plus side - finals are over! I do not know what my grades are yet. But I am at least half certain that I didn't fail.
On the down side, my mother was fired from her job. It was her own fault. We've talked about it, and I'm not mad at her. But there are plenty of places in the area that she can apply. We'll see what happens.
I'm too tired for more detail.
Edit:
Okay, explanation. My mother is a nurse, she made a medication error that could have (but did not) cause bodily harm. This is the second time in six months, so, she was let go. She waited until after my physics final to tell me, for which I am grateful. Now, my first instinct is "WTF DID YOU DO." and general rage, because, well, she did kind of fuck herself over and my life will be more difficult because of it. But we talked about it and I clarified that she accepted responsibility and knew how to prevent this happening in the future, so, I'm not angry.
As long as she's willing to learn from her mistakes and not blame other people, well, that's all we can do and we'll move on. (otherwise there might have been shouting.) Harsh, maybe. But no harsher than I am on myself. It's the standard I try to hold myself to, it's only fair I hold her to it. We'll get through, and it's not like there aren't a dozen places around here that hire nurses.
On the "i don't even know" side, my new roommate is apparently moving in tomorrow instead of in a couple of weeks with the new semester, so that'll be fun. Chinese (possibly) girl, seemed about as painfully awkward as I felt. I'll keep my stuff out of the way and then make myself scarce.
I don't even know how I feel right now.

Good luck with the new roommate, too. They can be very hit or miss, can't they. Hope the new girl works out!

Yeah. She seems shy, and thought I was mad at her? I can come off as more scowly than I try to be. But I'm sure it'll sort out.
