School and nice co-workers
I can't wait until the weekend is here. This week with school has been stressful. We got midterm grades today and I've been working so hard and yet I'm still failing my math class. I'm currently on academic probation from when I went to a community college and I was 18 and didn't care about school, I thought college was a big joke and time for me to experience more things like party and stay up all night and sleep through class kind of thing, and now that I'm really wanting to do good, I just can't, I seriously study my butt off and I still get an F seriously...what's wrong with me. All my other classes I'm doing good in. I HATE NUMBERS and I DISLIKE MY MATH TEACHER, but that is still not an excuse for my bad grade, I just need to try harder, but I feel as if I'm already doing the best I can. If I don't get off academic probation this semester then I will no longer be offered financial aid, which I desperately need or I won't be able to go to school anymore. In my other classes I have one A and two B's, and I'd hate to see my college career over because of a stupid math class.
Tonight is the night that I deemed as a "me" night. I've been studying everday this week for the tests that I've had. The two on Tuesday really weren't that bad, they weren't exactly easy but I studied literally during all the freetime I had. Today I had a test in penetentaries and corrections and since I studied all day Monday for my two tests on Tuesday, I only had Tuesday to study, and I also had a night class that night so I had a late night. I have an hour between my classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and I usually go home then come back to campus but I really needed the extra study time today, so I stayed and studied for that hour and plus it has been pouring all day, so I tried to stay inside as much as possible. Anyway, the test was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'm always the last person to leave when taking a test because I always have to go over it again and make sure I didn't miss a question or skip a line so it throws off my answer sheet etc. When I was finally finished I handed in my answer sheet and the professor graded it right there, she asked me if I wanted to stay and see the results and I really didn't want to because I knew that I didn't do all that great, but I decided that I would probably drive myself crazy if I didn't know. I was standing there and I could see all the red markings on my test and I was so scared. I studied so long and tried so hard and to see that I pretty much knew nothing was tearing me into pieces.
Halfway into the grading the professor looks at me and says "did you see all those people leave after 5 minutes" I say yeah but I don't work like that, even if I knew all the answers it would still take me about 20 minutes or so to complete it. Then I said something like must be nice to finish so quickly, lucky them. So then she asks me if I actually studied because obviously the ones who left 5 minutes after the test was handed out had. That comment made me so upset, I tried to explain to her that I wasn't trying to make excuses but I had 3 other tests to study for too, so I had to try and portion out my time on each. Then she just says that she hates when she studies for something and still does worse than expected. I think she was trying to make me feel better, but it came off as rude and very sarcastice. I'm a sensitive person anyway, so hearing that made me just want to leave and never come back. After she finally gets done grading my test, it turns out that I got a C. I wish I did better considering all the time and effort I put into this, but I can live with a C. She way over reacted and made me feel so dumb considering I dodn't fail. She seriously made me think that I failed that test miserably...I'm glad it's over and it's time to move on.
work was actually good tonight. Brett felt bad that half of our group forgot about my birthday so him and his girlfriend stayed up until 2am baking cakes. They made two even though one way suffiicent. It was so cute. They even waited until I got there to eat. They start work at 11 and I don't get there until 5 so it was a long wait. As soon as I walked into the pod they were all like Kerri go cut the cake now!!! Hahaha I had a great time. I just wish I had my camera with me because the cakes were too funny. Brett didn't know what kind of icing to put on them so one cake had cream cheese frosting, and the other cake was half chocolate and half strawberry. Sometimes my group members are so awesome. After we all ate there was still a cake left so we wandered through the building trying to give it away. Brett wanted me to take the leftovers home but there was no way that I could eat an entire cake on my own because Cindy and Rick wouldn't have ate any of it. My group members like to tease me because I'm so geographically challenged. After 8pm our time you can no longer call the east coast. I always forget that rule and I broke it so many times tonight, so hopefully I don't get fired. It was a small and simple mistake but the cardholders could sue us for it, so I'm kinda worried. They have been looking for the smallest things to happen so they can get rid of people since we are WAYYYYY over-staffed. Anyway, being silly my podmates told me that CA was on the east coast, I was like I may be geographically dumb but I'm not that dumb, but I did get some mixed up, like I'm kind of forgetting but I think that I thought that AZ was where OH is lol....I'm not sure if that was exactly what I said...but yeah I felt so dumb considering on is on the west coast and the other is on the east coast. So I guess I made their nights a little more fun since they all laughed at me.
When Anthony and I were trying to get rid of the cake a guy said so it's your birthday eh, now how old are you, 21? No no I'm 22 now, I feel like I'm getting old how fast time is zooming by. He told me that I should go to Meirs on Saturday. I look at him and said that I woukd consider going if it was in a calmer bar. Meirs is too much for me. There are too many gangs that hang out there, and numerous times in the past year some shootings have occured there, so that's definitely not a place where I want to hang out at. The guy said that it wasn't that bad there....he is a bouncer...but he broke his hand breaking up a 20 man fight back in July. So yeah I said maybe go to Legends and I'll be there, he said it was too quiet there...he was a bouncer there for a while too. Don't get the wrong idea...he has a girlfriend, this was just to hang out and maybe get another friend kind of thing, and honestly I don't really want to hang out with him, he is loud and kinda rude, but then again we do work in collections so you kinda have to be both of those, but he's way over the top. He annoys me when he comes into our group to talk to some of our members...usually when he comes over he just calls us cheaters, but whatever. I can't even remember his name...I'm a bad person...but I think it's Andy or maybe Danny? I dunno, and it's not really all that important to me.
Anyway, I'm going to go sit and relax because tomorrow I have class then work then study time for my test on Friday...I don't want to go do all that again, but I'll worry about it tomorrow. So good night everyone and I hope you have a great rest of the week. Oh, I'm so excited, my mom and little sister are coming up here this weekend. I hope we all have fun. Now really, I'm out now.
