Ok so maybe I’m just stressed out, but it seems like this semester isn’t going very well. First, I am taking 12 credit hours, which may not seem like alot, but I am also driving to the Houston area just to go to class. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have to leave at 7:30 am to make it to my first class on time, and then once I get out of class I have to rush to my car and get to Montgomery college campus as fast as possible since my next class is there. I am almost always late because I just don’t have enough driving time. Now, you may be asking why exactly I have to drive from one campus to another right? Well first, I signed up for my music lit class online, and then the first day of classes I find out it was canceled, and thus forcing me to take it in person in the ONLY class still taking students (at Montgomery college), then I was also signed up for my government class online with a teacher I really liked, and he ended up give the section to another teacher who I didn’t want, which forced me to take his class in person in Tomball. I only have a 40min break in between classes to drive and park, which isn’t enough. I’ve tried many routes and still am late. Ok well that’s the first frustration in regards to classes. I have two other classes, one being an English class, and the other being a speech class. The speech class is just fine, and we will be done next month! Yay! However, my English class is horrible. I wouldn’t mind the teacher so much if he gave constructive criticism, but he tends just to be a smart ass and talk down to me if I ask why he marked something wrong (and just so you know, I don’t type in this fashion for my papers!). It just frustrates me when some one just says “That’s wrong” without reason or evidence. I’m sorry, but some literary analysis is subjective, and you may not like what I think it means, but it doesn’t mean I am absolutely wrong. If you have a good reason why I am and have evidence, fine…show me then…but don’t just tell me that I am flat out wrong. My teacher is just driving me crazy! Another frustration is that since I have to go down to my classes twice a week instead of just once, it has doubled my gas expense. I also had to cut my hours at work to have time to do my class work…so yea. Less money and having to spend more. I am also trying to pay my voice teacher and piano teacher what their actual rates are instead of taking their kindness of free lessons. So I am thinking I may need to look for another job, or maybe try to find more hours to work at work…but I just don’t know when to fit it in. Work has gotten more busy, and so I don’t have time to do homework…plus since I am a student leader, I am always supposed to be busy with other things then have time to do anything personal (mind you that’s only for student leaders). I am seem kinda screwed either way…and I admit I am stressing out. I really want to do well in school this semester, especially since I am almost done with NHMCCD. If for some reason I can’t pass my piano proficiency exam, then I will have to hang around there until I can, I guess taking blow off classes or something. Oh and did I mention that everyweek I am driving 8 hours or more in total? Yea so that cuts into homework and work time. Not to mention a lot of house work is left up to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, chris helps with laundry, cleaning the catbox, and sometimes dishes, but there are other things I want help with sometimes. I know he’s a busy guy, and I shouldn’t be too hard on him, I am just really going out of my mind. Especially when we want to have people over…I want the house clean. Well since I have cats, they usually like to stain my carpet with their hairballs which means that if I want the carpet clean, I am on my hands and knees scrubbing it. I just don’t have time for all of this any more, not this semester. I guess I am just stressing. Sorry for the rant.
