I am freaking out ... seriously
Just what in the world ever posessed me to think that going back to school would be a good thing, and that I would be able to handle it and work and two nuttier than a shithouse rat kids?!? Oh. My. God. I surely have lost my ever-loving mind ....This has been a nightmare of epic proportions. I should have quit when the first bit of fecal matter was flung at the propellers. But it is par for my course that if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong. I am the living, breathing, walking, talking epitome of Murphy's Law, so I just forge ahead ... mumbling to myself that it has to get better, it just has to.
Oh no. Nuh uh. Not me! I am the Master of Disaster! Captain Chaos!
Classes started this week. First thing out of the gate ... the books for two of my classes are MIA. Of course, those two classes have assignments due already. I got one of the books at the library tonight after work. Now I am trying to read Gilgamesh, then I have to write an essay: Compare and contrast the character of Gilgamesh with one character who is being held out as a hero in the Old Testament. In your thesis, make a statement about how each character reflects a characteristic which is valued by his culture and have it turned in by 9am tomorrow.
Tomorrow, people! Then a quiz in Statistics Friday! Aaauuuuggghhhh!!!
And we won't even get into how my kids are bound and determined to drive me batshit crazy!
UPDATE: W00T! *struts around proudly* I stayed up ALL NIGHT doing the reading assignment, then writing what I thought was the most retarded essay EVAR! Stand back! I got 4 out of 4 points! W00T! W00T! W00T!
OK. I am not getting cocky. Really. Gotta get back to the books so I can ace my first programming quiz ...
