Today was a difficult day. I got up at 8 am and started my work for the discussion board in comp. It took me 5 hours to put together, review, then post. After I post, I see a note from the professor that she didn't give us the right instructions. Oh well, my post is a little long and hope it is still going to be satisfactory.
Then I started my math exam, and that took me another 5 hours. This unit in math is difficult and really exhausted me. I ended up missing 4 on the exam. Missing 4 isn't acceptable, because what I missed I flat out did not understand. I decided I need to get help from the math center, in hopes they can explain it in a way that I can understand.
After 10 hours of school work, all I wanted to do was curl up in my bed and hide. I have never put myself into that kind of a school marathon since I have been going to college, and I never want to do it again. It is exhausting. To boot, I don't have anymore contact lenses and have to wear my glasses which are not the right prescription, so I am straining to read. My eyes are so tired.
I hit the blogs for a bit before I shut off my laptop for the rest of the night. My cocker spaniel, Tommy, needs some attention. He did not appreciate me sitting in my chair all day and being on the laptop, ignoring him. Poor little guy he is just staring out the window.

I know EXACTLY how you feel, Peggy! I have spent many-a-day just sitting in front of the computer, thinking, "Will this EVER be done?!" Good luck with the math classes, those were very hard for me, too. But I kept at it and did not give up, soley because it would mean I wouldn't have to retake them. That was good enough motivation for me!
ReplyDeleteI also have a dog, who likes to put her chin in my lap when I haven't been paying her much attention. Oh, the guilt they are capable of making you feel! Of course, all this work will pay off later. :)
