Hey everyone. So, I'm kind of in a funk right now. School is seriously dragging me down. I can't put my finger on it but I'm thinking that it's because, for whatever reason, I've been doubting my abilities recently. I used to be able to sutdy efficiently for exams and I've always been able to come up with good grades. However, now, I'm not doing so well. I'm getting 3 B's, a C and I'm getting a D in my Calculus class. I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I just can't understand the information that's presented, no matter how much I study and it's becoming frustrating since 1) My homework is done via an online program and entering answers has become a great challenge because the syntax is very hard to figure out. So what ends up happenng is that I get the answer wrong simply becaue I can't understand how to input an answer such that the computer will understand it (even though I'll have the right answer). and 2) I have the worst professor to ever teach at a university. This guy loves shooting through his examples and substitutes that for "teaching". This would work, in theory, if he didn't skip steps and throw in theroms that are waaay too advanced to be useful to this class. Every single time I go to that class I walk out of there feeling I'm "stupider" than I was when I walked in. Should be the other way around, no? Anyhow, there's a lot more that's bothering me but I'll spare you all the sob story. I try to keep things in perspective and positive, but even this is getting harder to do with every passing day.
Also, I've been a bad friend lately....let's just say I've been "preoccupied" (in other words, I've had my face in a textbook for the past 2 weeks).

Keep plugging away. I went back to college last year at 44. Half the technology I "had" credit in doesn't or isn't used anymore so back to the drawing board. I was certain those Pascal classes would stand the test of time 
. So now I'm taking classes again which is actually kind of fun but I didn't expect to have to start so far back again. Moral of the story is get the degree and do as well as you can now no matter how much time you have to study. Just get it done. The professor you find irritating now will be alot more irritating in 21 years.
