On the Algebra test this week it was just an assessment to see what we know (and don't know) so we are getting graded on completion and not on how many we got right. Out of the 30 questions about 20 of mine were "I have no idea." It has been 12 years since I took my last Algebra class and I failed it both years I took it in High School. What they hell makes them think I am going to be able to figure this shit out 12 years later!? So hopefully my teacher has a sense of humor!
The Constitution class I just resubmitted (after changing the dates first) what I submitted last term. I got a pretty decent grade on it last term so if i get a bad grade on it this time I am going to be one pissed off Mommy. Kicker is, I have the same teacher too, so she should notice that I plagiarized myself!
The Intro to Corrections class is the one I am actually looking forward to taking. So why is it that, with two days until my work is due, I have not even opened up my book one single time to do the reading? I have an excellent tendency to wait until Saturday at 9PM (with the work due at 10PM) to do my reading and type up my papers. I mean, this shouldn't be hard for me at all. I have been looking forward to being a corrections/probation officer for the past 11 years. But I can not bring myself to take my book out of my desk, open it, read it, and half ass my paper....
It is funny to me that I am like this, because I spend all Monday night (every week) preaching to my son that if he just knocks out all his homework for the week (he comes home with a packet on Monday that is due Friday) when he comes home Monday, that he will have the ENTIRE week of extra time to play because his work is done. Then here sits Mommy at the computer pretending to do homework. I am such an amazing example for my son!
I have about 1 year left of school until I get my Associates Degree. Then I am wanting to go to UC (University of Cincinnati) for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Sociology. After that I want to find an amazing grad school for my Masters in Psychology. Not sure where I want to go yet, but with my grades it will be hard to find somewhere to take me. THEN I want to work on my Ph. D in Psychology. The only problem for me is learning how to no longer procrastinate on everything and get my shit done as early and as best as I can!
In High School I used to write my papers on the bus and before class. My teachers never knew because I would get 85-99% on everything I wrote. When I actually took the time out of my week to work on the paper every day, from the time the assignment was give till due, I would do so horribly on it. I learned quickly that waiting and half assing my papers gave me the better grade. I need to shut up and work on my homework lol. 28 years old and I have homework! WTH! <3
