it's me again

I'm not sure what's going on with me.   I'm tired and crabby and sick of school.  I hate winter and it's only been a week.   I guess a need a vacation,only no breaks til Thanksgiving and I volunteered to cook so that's not a break  'either, but at least I get leftovers.  Hope I survive til Christmas.

Onward and Upward!

 School starts again on Sept. 12.  It's going to be a tough semester; lots of homework and memorization. Daunting.  I wish I felt better about my future prospects and about how well  i will hold up.  Time to suck it up, do my best and triumph!

Life is really dull right now

I really haven't got anything earth-shaking to say today.  I have an english paper due soon.
on a "concept"  mine is resiliency.  Not that I really have a handle on that. but the idea merits research and reflection.  I'm hoping I'll learn how to be a more resilient person.   Sometimes  I think I'm on top of it and sometimes I know I have no clue.  I'm tired of being sucker-punched by life and I'm hoping to figure out how to minimize that.  Realizing that eliminating it is impossible.  I always hope for Ah-Ha moments!

My Poor Bum!!

So, wed. night coming home on the bus I fell against the seat and massacred my buttocks!!!  I have a bruise the size of Wyoming on my right cheek and its so swollen I can't wear jeans.   It's higher up than the part you sit on but if I lean back at all it is very owie!!!!  Now my back hurts from lack of support and my bum hurts from MAJOR bruising and I'm tired and crabby cuz you can't sleep with a sore bum.  Hopefully all this whining will help me get over myself and get on with my life.   P.S. stairs are no fun!!!!

School Victories!

I got an 86% on my fractions test!  This is no small thing!  I have never been able to understand the concept behind multiplying and dividing fractions.  To me its gobblety-gook.  Yes, I can make it work, but it makes no sense in my head.  I just follow the steps the book says and pray I can repeat it on  the test.  This time it went pretty well.   Next time, its a crap shoot!  I still believe that math is more evil than good.  Fully aware that the majority of my friends and family disagree.  But, hey, I got an 86% !

First week of school

What was I thinking going to summer school?  Math and Keyboarding are killing me.  They remind me that I'm old and I hate that---in my head I'm still 25.  We all have our delusions, right?   I'll stop whining and buckle down,  but I won't like it!!!
