absentee blogger

May 7, 2014

Well hey y'all.  I feel blue today.  Like I am the kid always late for class and behind on all the fun stuff going on in the world.  And by world, I mean blogging world and real world.  There are so many blogs I love to read and comment on, and so many people who I know love to read mine.  (Hey, thanks for that...)  I just feel like my life is busier right now than it ever has been in my entire life.  Yes, I've said that before, but it's gotten significantly busier-er.

MATH.  The bane of my existence.  I'm currently doing Math and Politics online.  Watching grass grow interests me more than Politcs, but I can get through it.  Math, on the other hand, is something I've failed at multiple times.  Literally, failed the classes that I still have to pay for because the government insists I make too much money for grants.  That's another complaint for another day; let's stay on topic.  MATH.  The bane of my existence.

I spent some time in the AT&T store last night because my OtterBox failed me and my iPhone screen shattered in the parking deck of my job.  I'm not talking one crack in the screen.  I'm talking multiple pieces of glass falling out of the front of the phone, right on the ear piece area.  So, yeah, not really going to be using that anymore.  Plus multiple other cracks all along the front.  I have no desire to have 9 fingers bandaged up like Bill Hader in the T-Mobile commercials.

So after finally getting home at 8:00, I talked to Ben for a while and then got started on my school work.  I made coffee at 10:00.  At midnight, I finally was finished with my interactive math lesson (what they consider "homework") and I was exhausted.  I'm proud of myself for pushing past my bedtime and focusing on my priorities, but dang it's tiring.

I haven't been to the gym nearly as much as I need to and I'm not eating as well as I need to.  Which is all really important since I'm a gastric bypass patient.  I want to excel at school, work, health, blogging, wedding planning, and life.  That's really, really hard to do.  

But I'm working on it.  For now and the next 12 weeks, just pray that I pass my two math classes.  If I can get through that, I will be good to go.  I'll be around here, too.  Just maybe not as much.  :)

    You've got this! I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. I slipped up on my diet last night & today I'm hitting the ground running like it never happened. Keep up the good work -- your priorities are in the right place.

    Big prayers!!! You can do it!! I remember having to do work, school, wedding planning, blogging, teaching pre-k, and a thousand other things. People to this day ask me how I did it. I have no idea. In 12 weeks, you'll look back and feel like a superhero having passed your classes and kept your sanity in tact!! :)

    Aww! Math is terrible. The last math class that I took was the first semester of my freshman year of college (2006). I've considered changing careers, but it would mean going back and taking some undergrad math and science classes, which scares the crap out of me!

    I would have such a hard time staying up just to do math, so good for you!

    I am feeling overwhelmed myself at the moment, so I can totally relate. I just finished up Corporate Finance over the weekend while starting a new HR Management class at the same time --- and then yesterday, I started Strategic Decision Making or something like that. The sheer amount of homework I have to do for both classes this week makes me want to cry... And quit... But I can't... I've come too far to quit now...

    We can do it!! Hang in there girl!!

    I used to cry in Math class. I still suck at it and I only made it through college because I was able to opt out of Math for something else. Lucky me. An otter box failed your phone? I didn't even know that was possible.

    I know you'll do great. You sound very committed on conquering that damn math (the bane of my existence when I was doing my undergrad work). I bet you're going to surprise yourself!

    I'm sorry to hear about your phone damage. I have an Otterbox, and I thought it would never do that. I guess it can. Now I am going to be very careful with my phone to make sure I don't have that kind of problem. Hope you do well on your math exams, and hope you can try to take some time and relax your body, mind, and spirit.
