Overreaceted

O.K. so I might have freaked, out just a tad, about my math test. I still didn't do well, I got a 60 on it. We went over the test in class tonight and I realized what I did wrong. The word problems are still confusing but the rest of it was fine. I just need to go back over the problems I got wrong and do the homework again for that section. I just get really nervous when the test is in front of me and I forget everything I learned. Well...not everything but I just couldn't seem to remember how to work out some of the problems. I hope that studying a little more will help. Sigh, there goes my "B" average.

One word says it all...Math

I am feeling at my lowest tonight. I just got back from school about a half n hour ago knowing I didn't do well on my math test tonight. I am taking basic algebra and I can't seem to get it. I studied all weekend, I got all the answers right on my homework, Brenda has even been tutoring me. I get what we're doing in class, I get the homework, I even understand when Brenda explains it to me. However, when I take the tests it's all greek to me. I am starting to feel like I am not cut out for College. My last math teacher in Math 104 wasn't very good so I feel like I didn't learn anything to take with me to Math 106. The college even asked the teacher for Math 104 not to come back. Jesse suggested adjusting my study habits. I usually study at the kitchen table which is not comfortable because it's an old 1950's ice cream parlor table. I really wish I could fit a desk in my apartment so I could have a "proper" study area. I found a nice desk for cheap, Jesse and I even measured my apartment to see if it would fit but I think it would make my place look even smaller than it already is. Twice I have gone to Russ's to meet Brenda so she could help me study and maybe that isn't the right environment for that but I only have one beer and I understand what's going on with what I am learning. I don't want to study every free hour I have cause there is this thing I have outside of work and school called life. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have been feeling this way about a lot of things affecting me personally lately. Why does life have to be so complicated?

January has always been a tradition for us Toolz to exchange our Christmas gifts. This year Lynn (left), Kelly (right) and myself went to Fridays for dinner, hung out @ Kelly's to open gifts and play guitar hero. Lynn raved about guitar hero for weeks and I wasn't really sure what all the fuss was about until I got play it myself. I love this game so much I think I need it. Anyway. The night was fun there was gifts, boobs, butts, and beers. That last part is a whole other blog story. Thanks Lynn and Kelly for gifts and a fun night.

Halloween update

Halloween was great last year! I dressed up as corpse bride. It was the first year I wasn't a fairy in like...4 years. Below is Jesse as a knight. This is one of my favorite photos of the night at the Pub. On the right is me and my cousin Megan. We had a good time. I can't wait until Halloween this year.
