Three down, one more to go before calling it a semester

Finals that is.

My Humanities final is at 11am, and since I missed the last class meeting last Thursday because of this stupid cold, I have really no idea what exactly is going to be in the exam. I had emailed the prof that I would be absent (got all the way to school when I realized that I was really too sick to be anywhere), and asked about what was discussed in class, and if there was a study guide for the final.

She chose not to respond.

So now, I’m studying literally every-f’n-thing, and I hate having to “wing it”. Is there/are there an/any essay question(s)? I don’t know. I’ll find out when I get there and hope I can write a half way decent essay based on what I have learned in this class.

I’ve never had to know so many terms before. I only hope I can remember who painted what, what style it’s in, what a “motet” is, who wrote “The Communist Manifesto”… Gregorian chants?! WTF?!! I’m almost crosseyed with all the information I’m expected to know.

This is what I signed up for, so I better get my panties out a bunch and deal with it.

Wednesday’s finals weren’t too bad. The Speech final was ridiculously simple and I had it done in about half an hour (the final was alloted an hour and 50 minutes). Then, I sold my Speech text back for the grand sum of $26.75, and went to Starbucks and got coffee cake and some overpriced holiday coffee.

Then I tackled the last minute studying for my Philosophy final. That one took me a little over an hour, and I think I did okay. I knew who wrote what and what the significance of it was. So maybe I didn’t waste 16 weeks listening to a boring prof who can’t lecture cogently enough for me to take halfway decent notes. I’m selling back my itty-bitty Philosophy text tomorrow along with the Humanities texts. Maybe that way I can afford to buy better Christmas stuff for the family.

I’ve got to knock this staying up til 2 and 3 in the morning studying though. I’ll probably sleep all next week just to catch up.

That’s all from where I sit.

🙂 Thanks for peeking and I hope your son had a great bday!

I’m so tired

Sometimes, I just want to give up and let things take their course. If that means my phone bill doesn’t get paid or my rent is late, so be it.

But I can’t do that. Why? Because I’m trying to be responsible and do the right thing.

I just can’t seem to make myself ask for help. I’m tired of being a burden on everyone I know.

I just love the people who tell me stuff like: go to a church, the state, your family for help.

NOT!

For the most part, they haven’t walked in my shoes, and if they have, they’ve forgotten what not being able to live up to your responsibilities is like. Like the guy who “borrowed” money from me some years ago, promising to pay me back, and never did. When I ask him to help me by paying the money back now, he says he doesn’t have it, and he’d give it to me if he could.

But you know what? He could.

I gave the money to him when I really shouldn’t have, when I needed it more than he did, but like a dummy, I did it anyway, because I believed him when he said he’d pay me back.

Now I need it, and he’s nowhere to be found. How convenienent, huh?

I’ve never asked him for anything before. Now that I have, he’s gone to ground. Thanks, pal. Thanks a whole bunch.

I was supposed to go up to Edmond yesterday to look at apartments near UCO, but when Chaz came over, he wanted to do other things, and by the time we were done with those, it was too late to see any apartments, and most of the ones I wanted to see are closed on Sunday.

GRRRR!

Daniel asked me to get information about Cricket cell phone service last weekend, and I found out a lot about it. He and Jeff and I are going to go in on a plan together, because Daniel decided that he really needs a cell phone, I need a new service because I’m tired of TracFone, and Jeff just wants a new toy, I think.

Of course, he hasn’t been available to tell him about this since we talked about it. It’s either been too late, too early, he’s not home, or the line is busy because his girlfriend has called yet again.

I think I will try to call when I’m done with this post.

Seems that the Great Commonwealth of Massachusetts is going to pay to send Jon to school. To be an IT guy.

Now why didn’t Jon do that years ago? He has the knowledge to do that kind of work. Why did he take a series of low paying jobs when he could have been doing this all along?

To get out of paying child support, I suspect.

But, that’s another rant for another day.

I wonder if Larry ever caught the possums living under his sister’s house?

Okay, I’m done.

For now (heh heh).

That’s all from where I sit.
