Today was a miserable day: cold and wet. I felt like all I did  today was Alyssa's homework. But she works so hard and lets her own stress to get the best of her. As we struggle to get through her zoology class, she seems to be sabotaging herself and refuses to even study the notes. I am battling her father's stubborness in her. She refuses to study.  I know what will happen if she doesn't.
