School Sucks

One week into the semester and I am hating it all ready. I just want to quit school and work full time. I am tired of being broke, commuting 2 + hours each way, and trying to keep up with deadlines while my son is begging for attention from me. No more financial aid because I dropped my summer class and leaving me to beg my mom for gas money to get to and from school is my punishment from the government.

Because of the holiday on Monday I haven’t even started my required Library Science class or Health and Safety for Children class which I am sure will include creating ‘healthy’ menus loaded with milk and cheese (gag).

I was excited about my Anthropology class which focuses on Native Americans but the teacher had to go and crush that emotion by making me write papers and take tests. And my math class, oh man, I am seriously a math idiot. I placed in the lowest class possible and as I started the first chapter’s work of simple addition and subtraction (no joke) I was thinking I may actually have a shot of passing this class. Now that I have made it to chapter three with fractions and square roots I am realizing that I must have been born with the math part of my brain missing. I need to go buy some multiplication flash cards and reconsider this whole degree thing.
