The end.

This is the last public blog; after this assignment is graded this blog will go private.  I will leave access to all currant followers if you would like to keep reading this jumbled mess.
Anyway was hoping with no school I could dig out my project car (weather permitting) and get a few things accomplished with it. I would also like to get a head in some classes; especially MGT212 It’s a lot of work, probably should get the house in order as well. My wife has really been great since I started school. With going to the gym, work, school/studding I haven’t had much time for her or the house work, she does a great job in keeping up with everything. With the house choirs, bills, dogs and almost no help from ma and she never complains. I do tell her how much I appreciate her and what she does, but I’m not sure if she even cares if I notice how much she does. Maybe she just sees what needs to be done and does it, I on the other hand tend to go through procrastinating moods and won’t do things that can wait. I should probably get started on this list before the day disappears just like they all do.

Time

Why do some days feel like the time just fly’s by? Work today was so slow and for some reason really annoying. I will never understand why, for some people, when their not consistently busy there brain just turns off. So the day started with everyone around me just acting dumb, so I decided early I was going to take a half day off work. It was 1:30 when I finally got out of there so it was more like a ¾ day and that put a damper in my plans. With school and everything my wife and I haven’t had much time to spend together, so I thought with spring break we could see a movie and go out to dinner. The two extra hours at work pushed back the movie and afterwards both of us just wanted to go home and relax, so here we are. (We watched Hall Pass and we thought it was hilarious, If you like crude humor) Now I just have to figure out what to cook for dinner and then make it. I am about dead to the world at this point so I'm going to make dinner and call it a night.

Better

Today's test seemed much easier than yesterday's, I feel pretty good about it and it’s about time. Maybe I’m getting the hang of this class or I was just really freaked out about it so I studied my butt off. Either way as long as I got a good grade I will be happy. Spring break is here and as much as I would love to go the beach and drink lots of beer, I can’t stop thinking about how much school work I can accomplish with a week off of classes. So the plan is to get some rest and then hit the books to get a head of the game, I just hate being behind. I will also be glad this assignment will be over; I will probably still blog I just won’t have to. As you can tell from my post time I only have time for this right before I go to sleep, and it’s killing me. I get up at 4am almost every day for work and going to sleep after 9pm every night sucks. I am not sure I will get to sleep any sooner when this is done but it will be one less thing to do. Well I have had enough fun for one day, Tomorrow is too close.

OH MAN

So I just took the midterm (WOW) and I am so unsure how I did I feel sick to my stomach. The teacher kept saying its easy its easy piece of cake, well I’ll tell you what if that was a piece of cake it was the worst cake I have ever had! I felt unprepared the entire time, so I guess I can only blame myself and maybe him a little. I do understand the material and the concepts, I just forget the terms. My MGT class is the same way, so maybe it’s just me? One guy only took like five minutes, I think he cheated. There I go again looking for the bad in people, maybe he took this class last semester or maybe he is a genius, why do I always see the negative in people? I just wish the material came to as easy as the assignments in this class. Well I guess I only have a few years left of school so I should look at the bright side more often. I was told going back to school is the hardest part and I have done that so it should be downhill from here right? Time will defiantly tell that’s for sure. I guess that enough for today, I hope I have the energy to get back tomorrow.

Today

Another day of work, homework and the normal day to day things and its taking its toll. I’m not sure how I’m holding on, but I am. I guess just like most going back to school I really just need to pass. I have the midterm tomorrow in my economics class and I’m a little worried, if it wasn’t for the test Thursday in the management class as well I think I would be ok. Trying to dedicate the appropriate amount of study time to both is challenging. I will be glad once it is over but only until the next test, but that’s the way it works I guess. Well I’m running on empty tonight so I’m cutting this post short, see you next time.

Homework!

I have been doing so much homework for upcoming tests it’s insane! I feel buried under all this; I know I cleaned this desk off twice and my wife once as well. I’m still not done and not sure when it will end. It’s know wonder I put going back to school off for so long, this sucks! I guess it’s not all that bad, I do like what I’m learning, of course the things you don’t like you probably forget quickly. I think it was Albert Einstein who said “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything one learned in school” I love that quote. But like this assignment some of it sucks, I have a hard time talking about myself, then again it makes assignments in my MGT class easer. I guess it’s just all the homework getting me down, I just wish I could catch up with it all. I know eventually I will it’s just the getting there part. Let’s see I still have one chapter in one class and two in the other, with tests on Wednesday and Thursday.  Well I better get back to the books, who want to pay for the same class twice.

Wow things can get better

My wife’s doctor appointment Yesterday went really well, they said there was nothing wrong with the MRI. Except a small unrelated something that we don’t need to worry about, so all in all it was good. We have been waiting for years for her to get better and a last it seems that day is here. Her doctor said if she can go a year without any problems he will take her off all the medicine, also she has a 35% chance of her condition could stay in remission forever. I do realize there are a lot of (maybes and coulds) and 35% isn’t that high, but I haven’t had this good of news in a long time so I going to run with it. We are going to do thing she hasn’t done in a long time, I just need to find the time with work and school, not to mention that money stuff. I have no doubt I will make it happen though. She spent many years being miserable and now it’s time for her to have some fun, she doesn’t know it yet but I have been thinking of stuff and I am going to starting to plan stuff soon. Well next time I guess.

Busy

So work today was normal and a little slow, This weekend is going to suck, so I went to my Mgmt class tonight and found out I miss read the schedule and was a chapter behind. There are two more due next week, and the second test is also next week. That’s a butt load of homework. Oh yeah I also have two chapters due in my other class and the midterm. Just when I thought I was doing good. So were going to see my wife’s doctor tomorrow, She has been doing good but they saw something on her MRI. This doctor is cool but I don’t really like doctors I guess that’s why she went through around four or five of them in three months. They sometimes act like they know more than they actually do, I guess it is called practicing medicine. She currently has two doctors, both are specialists in their field but I like getting information from two different people. Everyone thinks differently, and it’s helped her out a lot. So I'm crossing my fingers for good luck and to get home in time to get some of this homework out of the way. Well next time.

Today

So, today went somewhat well, it was a normal day, but different, today I had to meet with my presentation group (I spoke of this yesterday). It was surprisingly fun; we went over the project and had a good time in the process, we talked for over two hours. It was nice to interact with new people and get to know them; I am actually looking forward to this thing now. It was a good idea to meet in a casual environment it seemed to lighten the mood. I don’t think buying everyone a drink hurt ether. It was a nice end to today, with normal work (a lot of human relation problem resolution, fun stuff!), then another class with that one teacher I don’t really like. I found out this is his first year going over this material, so I’m going to cut him some slack, its mine too. Let’s just hope he will do the same, there’s also the minor language barrier with him, that doesn’t help things. All and all it worked out to be an OK day so why complain at this point. I just need ten words for this to qualify for the blog assignment.

Well?

Ok, I guess this blog thing turned into my complaining about something so.......Today started ok I guess, but unlike most days I had this over whelming feeling of being behind right from the start. So I rushed all my morning things, yet nothing seemed to be getting done any faster than normal? I’m on my way to work and I forget to make my lunch, I’m thinking really? (I love food by the way; thankfully I have a fast metabolism). Anyway I blow it off and figure I will take a long lunch and pick something up. I got to work and then it started, This wasn’t ok with one employee, and that person is on my nerves about that one thing yesterday, and I don’t think I can work with that guy, and my boss is mad (vocal) about that other thing. Well to make a three hour thing short I moved things and people around to make everyone happy (well close enough) and in the process I’m thinking I’m behind in school and I have vacation, I’M OUT OF HERE so I left. I get home and the puppy chewed up the screen door, then I get a message from a group member wanting to get the group together for the class Presentation, so I took charge and started coordinating with five others to make this happen it took forever, I must have gotten fifty texts and emails, so here I am hours later and I still haven’t gotten done what I wanted to. I know I know that life.

I dont know?

Well here I am again, and not sure what to write about. I guess I will just get something out of my head, to the world? So my mom went into the hospital last week and we weren’t sure how it would go. With a little history into our relationship, my mom got really sick about 10 years ago and it devastated the entire family in every way. She was the back bone for everything! She raised three of us on her own and worked full time as an RN. I really looked up to my mom seeing everything she accomplished including three brats, for awhile I remember a time I wanted to be an RN, until I realized bodily fluids freak me out. So when she got sick I kind of lost it, for awhile she was the strong person I had always known. Then things changed, she started to give up. Over the years I watched her loose more and more of her fight and slowly deteriorate. Finally I realized she was done trying to find a way to get better. I just couldn’t take it anymore, I wanted to rember her the way she was, the one I looked up to. Slowly my visits became shorter and less frequent. When she was in the hospital last week it just brought up all the pain of when she first got sick. With work, school, and a wife I made time to be with her every day she was there. After a few days of being there, she pops out of bed the person I remember from before she got sick ten years ago (well not quite but really close). She seems to have the passion back for a better and happier quality of life. With that said, here is where this troubles me. What happens if she goes back to the way she was? How much should I push and/or stand by her side and fight or at all? I don’t really think I have it in me to do that, especially if we fail again. The questions are rhetorical.

Why??

Why when things are starting to look on the up and up, you just get knocked down, what the hell? Things were looking good besides not having time to spend with my wife, due to school and work. The semester started good, A little stress with the whole financial aid thing but for the most part good. Classes were going good I understood all the material and was eager to learn. Then things started to go south, one of my teachers didn’t prepare us for the first exam (in my opinion) He just had us read the first chapter for three weeks and he never could get through the class lectures. Obviously we fell behind rather quickly and had to rush to catch up for the exam. When he went over the exam in class there were many questions that contradicted the learning objectives and when questioned about it he just gave us the answers, well guess what HE WAS WRONG! He said he gave us the points for the questions, but when I confronted him about my grade he said I must have heard him wrong. Then he docked me 10 point for the essay questions I asked him why, He said I provided the correct answer but didn’t elaborate. He did say in class that they weren’t traditional essay questions and a couple sentences would be fine, So I feel I should have gotten a 96 he gave me an 85. I know Life is not fair, But I’m paying to learn not be given incorrect information.
