Oh, school. How you interfere with my life.
Now, those of you that know me know that I consider school to be a joke. It's a means to an end and I gain absolutely no enjoyment from it whatsoever, which is sad, because I WISH I enjoyed school, but after 18 years in it, its not likely to happen now/ In fact, its a long standing point of humor in my family that while my degree took 4 years, I was probably at university a grand total of 4 MONTHS. I work better alone; where I can read books, make my own notes, and complete my own assignments when I want do. Sadly, though, the community college I am at now does not really allow for this much-you get attendence marks (which are like 0 for me!) and quite a few notes that aren't covered in books, which is quite unlike university. I am actually a fairly intelligent being, especially when it comes to computers and English, which has mainly been what this semester has been about, so if I averaged my 5/6 courses, my average would be an A-. But one course, a law course, ironically, is kicking my ass to kingdom come, and has given me a lovely D average, making my total average go down to a B. Partially, because, in the whole semester, I have been 3 times. The timing of the classes really suck. Class one is on a Tuesday from 4-6pm...which wouldn't be that bad, except I have a 3 hour break before that. So I never want to stick around, because, well, I can go to work and make money instead of sticking around and wasting time. Class 2 is Friday at 8am in the freaking morning, which would mean that I would have to get up at 5:30am to make it. Again, doesn't happen. So then I realized that I have a project due on Dec. 2nd that I have known about for the past month. Has anything been started? Absolutely not. Yay me.
But anyways, like many of you, my motivation really, really starts to depreciate come December. It's a chore to do anything-especially attend classes. And I'm sure the sadistic teachers know that, because instead of spacing out projects, everything is due within the last 2 weeks of class.
So, of course, riding is the first thing that goes out the window, followed by work hours. I have estimated that these next two weeks will cost me lost wages in the neighborhood of $750 and at least 4-5 rides on my horse. All so that I can write a pretty essay on civil litigation and do a test on Word Perfect (which, btw, is completely outdated. Those of you who don't use Microsoft Word should be ashamed!)
