Last day of class befor break!  I'm not going to lie, i'm am kind of excited about this.  I am not telling anybody at work that I have two day's off of school.  Hopefully this keeps me from getting called in to work.  I am in dire need of a break.  This one is deffinatley comming at the right time.

Tough times

Everything is slowly starting to get to me.  School is becoming overbearing, I don't get it.  I feel like i'm doing so well and when I check on my grades I am barley doing avereage.  This is not acceptable to me.  I am not a book smart person, but I do apply myself and normaly do what ever it takes to suceed and do well.  I am finding this is not aplicable with half the classes I am taking and am very disappointed in myself and the overal institution.  Things that add to the pressure are I own and run my own construction company and am in the process of shutting it down.  Not an easy thing to do.  I still work over 50 hours a week on top of a full time school schedual.  I continue to take on large jobs to make contractors and investors happy and am struggling to turn oppertunities and money down for school.  I am suppose to be doing less at work and am finding myself doing more.  I also maintain four rental units that consantly need attention.  I am even remodeling the entire house that I currently live in.  I need to finish this so I can get it in a condition to rent this out.  I am almost thirty and am going to be out of a job soon and living with my folks.  Times are tough for me.

TESTS

Ahh tests!  Today is nothing more then the pure college experience of an entire day of tests and papers due.  I love how all teachers decide to make tests on the same day so you have to crame as much knowledge in your brain in a short period of time.  Sad thing is, nothing sticks.  Hopefully I did a decent job on the paper due in this class today.  I'll just say there is a lot of stress and studying to due in school, but it beats work anyday.
