Deterred but still determined
Well, this week I have been dealt a few set backs but I gave those the middle finger and rolled with the punches. I did not pass my CSETs which I needed to start student teaching this Fall. These exams are frustrating and an overall pain in the ass but I will not give up for they will be retaken in November. Of course I reacted horribly to the results, crying and screaming through every inch of my house, there was no one home mind you. I was pissed and frustrated with a huge looming feeling of incompetency. Travis calmed me down and convinced me that I wasn't this incompetent idiot too dumb enough to pass my test, this is what I felt like for a good part of the day.
After that settled down, the next day I decided to go to the gym too alleviate any lingering frustrations from the previous day. Well, when I came out to my car, the passenger window had been completely smashed in leaving glass everywhere. There was a huge scratch above my front right tire, a huge indent where the pry bar had been, my hood was popped, glass all over the inside of my car and my car wouldn't even start. Apparently someone had tried to steal my car, thankfully, nothing was taken from the inside in the failed attempt. I guess my car alarm killed the ignition the moment they tried to started the car even after attempting to bypass the system. I reacted fairly calmly considering everything and sat out there waiting for the police and then the tow truck for a few hours in the parking lot all the while hot and sweaty and in dire need of a drink and shower. Of course yesterday, to top off an already spectacular week, I drop my sunglasses in the toilet at the bookstore, thank god there was nothing in it lol.
Everything is over, it didn't kill me. I am even more determined to accomplish all of the goals I have set for the rest of the year. I am just going to take things one step at a time.
