Higher Power...

Just thought I would share a little sum-sum with you...

Tommorrow is my first day back to school.


My LAST semester before graduating in May.

-Barring no unforseen trouble with Algebra...to which I am pertified to take, and have been all of my student career. I SUCK at algebra. I can add a tip percentage in my head in 0.2 seconds...but I simply have not grasped the concept of adding a+b. Ughhh.


I am going to do it though...I am going to strive for a final grade of B...but will most assuredly settle for a C if I have to. My cousin once told me, "Hey...don't sweat it...C's get degrees!"


I am counting on it... ;o)


Wish me luck ya'll- cause this degree...even though it is only an associates- is the biggest accomplishment (aside from my precocious son) in my entire 36 years. I get emotional just thinking about it, considering that I have been attending ICC on and off since 1991.


Yes...I'm laughing about it too.


I am on the 17 year plan it seems.


17 years...a long and backbreaking road to hoe.


So, ok...Don't wish me luck...pray for me. (if you happen to be the praying sort)

I need all the higher power I can get.

And I don't mean the square root.


HA! I made a funny...


Last thought-

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Algebra!!

I'm glad I don't have to take algebra. Good luck on that . . . and the Divine Intervention thingy. I'm sure you're up for the challenge!

You know, I occasionally have dreams that I'm back in school. They inevitably turn ugly, as I end up missing an exam, or failing a class, or something - more nightmarish than dreamy.

I will always have nightmares about algebra...it haunts me.
But..On the good new side of things, I have a FABULOUS teacher. She is very down to earth, and also very eager to help...no matter what. No shizzle...she actually compared herself to Mr. Hand from Fast Times At Ridgemont High...meaning that she would literally come to my house and tutor me to get me graduated. LOL
We had a good laugh on that one!
I feel a lot more at ease now thankfully.
And...I can't imagine that algebra could have been any easier than taking The Bar Exam...

If it truly is...I am SO screwed.

LOL

:o)

Thanks for the comment, K...you rock!

Jaded,
Good luck. Just think, the algebra will come in handy, shortly, with your son. Just last night I was helping my son, who's taking Algebra 1, with slope-intercept form. I'm so thankful I took it at ICC because I don't think I would have remembered it from high school. (It's been a few years so I do have to read the chapter before I help him, but it does come back to me, amazingly)
I'm glad you have a good teacher, I would also suggest ICC's math lab. It's open quite a bit and sometimes it helps when you hit a roadblock, to have someone different explain it.

Take The Wheel.

This is NOT an ode to a country song. Or, a religious jaunt. Hell to the no. Although, I do like the titled, aforementioned song. It's a good fable about letting go, letting God...you know, that old jazz.  It's a mantra.  That said, I had an epiphany today.  It's a good one, bear with me.  I've talked about my frenemy, ad nauseum. I know-it's getting pretty boring. I wish I could say, in my life, she's just as boring as hearing about her, but alas...the one thing she isn't is THAT.  Well, I have been through a lot of psychotherapy in my life-since early childhood. I struggled with ADHD and ODD as a child-which led my parents to take me in the first time. Keep in mind-these were the days that there were no IEP's, no accommodations, no sympathy for that devil. ADHD had no name, other than-hyperactivity, or "spirited"  So, the conclusion many parents came to was- my child must be mentally ill. What else could it be?  So, they took me in, and began...

Laughable...Truly Laughable...

Just a quick little ditty today: I checked the lady's blog today to see if anything else had been copied... No...nothing. I guess she figured she would stop her retarted-ness for now. BUT... I did read something VERY interesting. Apparently this chick who is very "intelligent" and wise beyond her years, and well-versed in EVERYTHING thinks that it is OK to trap her boyfriend into staying with her by letting him go off inside her without a condom. Such wise words... HA. And I'm the dishonest one? Spare me... I won't be going back after today...I just wanted to have one last look to see if she was chilling out. And I wont be commenting either way on her personal life any longer...I guess I just found that interesting. I'll stop with the drama now...I promise. Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas with their families, and please have a happy and SAFE new years. One love to ALL- Jaded

Just When....

....You thought it was safe. ;o) Yes, my friends...as some will be disapointed and some will be happy...for better or for worse...I have returned. I began another blog, but decided that in the interest of time and for the sheer fact that I am a lazy lazy girl...I will not be going to all the hassle of exporting all of my old posts there. I also have decided that I will not be letting a few petty people out there...and drama stop me from doing this...which I love. Truth be told I miss my friends here...my TRUE friends. So...as I said before...here I am. YAY!!!! BOOOOOO!!!! Whichever side of the coin you fall on there, I could give two shits. I am here because I miss my blog...plain and simple...read or don't, comment or don't. Yep...don't really care either way. So...HI! How is everyone??? LOL. And even cooler...those of you who are thinking to themselves right at this moment that I am quite possibly manic, or even Bi-polar-I don't care about THAT either. TA DAAAAAA!!!!...
