In an attempt to return to school to work on my Master's Degree, I have decided to take the GRE to bump my chances at getting into a better post bacholorette program. I didn't anticipate the amount of stresss that I would be under while studying for this test.
The moment I open the math portion of the study program I get an enourmous stomach that can only be curtailed with yummy treats! Which justs adds more stress. I get angry because I cannot remember basic math concepts from middle school and because some of this stuff still sounds like Latin to me after all of these years.
I desperately want to get into a school because I do not want to work at Starbucks much longer, it has been a good job up to this point, but it is not a place that I want to be much longer. In addition, I crave learning and experience something that I am not getting slinging lattes for people who believe that they are better than I am merely based on what side of the counter they stand on (I can go into a whole rant on this subject).
Bryan and I are planning a hiking excursion to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia in May. I am looking forward to spending quality time in the woods. Unfortunatley due to his age and physical condition (he is fat) Linus will not be able to accompany us on this excursion, instead he will be spending quality time at Aunt Kim's and Uncle Art's.

We can't wait to have Linus here with us :) Take a deep breath now and know that you are incredibly strong and intelligent. And you'll do great on the math. You might use some special words getting there, but you'll get there all the same. Come unwind with us on Saturday morning if ya want :)

Re: which side of the counter you stand on --- everyone should try the other side. Standing on your feet for hours at a time, cleaning up other people's messes, smiling and greeting each person as if they were the first person you have seen all day, keeping track of multiple requests - - - that's harder work than I want to do!
ReplyDeleteAnd the math - your SIL is the best one to encourage you with that. She had a hell of a time with the basics and fought through it, worked hard and mastered it. I will always admire her determination and accomplishment. You will do it - one step at a time. You will get there.
