I have until the end of August. This semester has gone by unbelievably fast. I have a few more tests and assignments to do. The next thing I know it'll be finals and I'm back to work again. Where did the time go? That doesn't go without an unhealthy dose of drama that's going on in my house right now. Ooh man. I'm not in the mood to type that out again. If you're interested in pointless but absolutely exhausting drama. See journal. If you can do without, then I suggest you don't.
Ahahaha, maybe I still have some growing up to do. ^^; Although I think everyone does, no matter how old they are. >>; How long do you have left of the semester?
Haha, he got his teaching certificate out of a cereal box (Not really, he's just too smart, there's actually a barrier between us and him. He's a nuclear physicist. I feel like I'm in a physics class). We have homework and such, but I haven't been doing it because it's only worth 2%. 8 hours of work for 2% of a mark is't worth it at all. I've done them all up until now. He teaches by powerpoint, and we're supposed to have a textbook, but I haven't had the money to buy it. I passed the last test. This class wasn't made by the teacher that is currently teaching it. It was made by the director. The reason why we have a random teaching a specialized course is because we're lacking teachers. One just retired and another is on leave. Then there's microeconomics, Statistics (I'm also failing), Human Resources, and Human Behavior in the Workplace Ugh. I dunno. It's a wee bit messed. I'm done with this semester. I want out. Hum hum, I used to be that way too....(when I was 12). I went through cadets when I was young. It taught me people skills and how people can be in a work situation basically. Same stuff, different environment. It takes a lot of getting used to. Just don't give up.
It's something I need to learn I guess. I am a soft person, so everything goes to heart. I hold a grudge for a few hours afterwards, but I always forget something bad the next day. But you're right; when I leave work, I've left work. I can leave it behind those shutters and enjoy the rest of the day. I'll leave work with that mentality tomorrow, and see how it goes. ^^ Although, tomorrow might be too easy. I'm meeting a friend for a drink after work, so I'm bound to have a good time. ^^; How'd that teacher get his teaching... thingymajig? Haven't you at least gone over mock papers with him? Potential questions that could come up in the exam? Slideshows? Textbooks? x.x
Is this an ongoing thing? I spent 2 years at a job I dreaded going to because I needed the money. It was a grocery store and customers can be very very mean. Try not to let it get to you. If the person has a weird way of going about things, try to just adapt to it. Play 'the game'. Then at the end of the day, walk out of work and take a deep breath. Whatever happens at work stays at work. Well this is college. The teacher can't just go over the test a million times. That would be almost cheating, if not stupid. I can't concentrate in class as I would if it was a fall or winter semester. My brain seems to automatically turn off. I'm used to doing summerish things during the summer. Like camp where I'm away from the house for 6-8 weeks at a time. Not in class. Then when a test comes around, my mind completely blanks. Then there's Aerodynamics. Oooh boy that teacher must go into every class high or something. We have a test next week, and he didn't do a single review. I was shocked really. I don't know how he expects anyone to pass his course. I don't know how I'm passing. I have a 70%. We've been talking to the director, and he's saying that he needs to soften the homework, and probably the test. I'm hoping he does, because the homework is almost impossible....Ugh, that teacher irks me.
Isn't there a way to tell the teachers that you need to know what's in the test, and that they should concentrate on that a little more other than this useless stuff? x.x I guess you're right. But she has a strange way of going about keeping people working there lol. Honestly, I don't think I'll last for very long there if she makes me feel bad about myself so much. ><
Well, I'm not going to call this a problem, because I was looking forward to it. It's the fact that I have school during the summer. It seems to be throwing everyone off but the teachers. They seem to enjoy talking for endless hours about shit we don't care about. All that I want to know is what's going to be on the test so I can pass. Lately, that hasn't been happening at all. At least, I can't pay attention long enough to figure out what will be on the test. Most of which results in a fail or I barely pass. This isn't like me at all. I'm usually a 75 or 80s type of student. When I see stuff like this, I kind of get depressed. Depression leads to no motivation. Other students are finding the exact same thing. Quite sad really. Oh dear. This sounds familiar. Haha. I apparently have an attitude problem too. I was 'called out' on it one day, then the supervisor decided to make the rest of my day hell. It left me thinking that she hates me :/... But, if there is any advice I should give, just stay the way you are. If she wants you on the permanent team, then you ought to be doing something right, Right?
Ahh, school woes. But you're right about the breathing part. x.x What's happening with school? Work... um. Is the foundation of a lot of potential problems at the moment. Some good, some bad, but it's causing a shitload of stress. One of the managers has recently just come back from a two week holiday, and despite me still thinking she can be a really nice person, she doesn't seem to know how to talk to people. She dragged me into the office on her first day back and SHOUTED at me over the smallest thing, and said that I had an attitude problem, and that I should work on it... whereas everyone else at work doesn't see this "attitude problem" that I have, and that I'm a good, honest hard worker who likes to have a little fun. =S In that same conversation, she DID say she wanted me on the permanent team there, but I was still too upset and shocked and angry by the way she'd been talking to me over something so tiny to even see it as a compliment. ><
Haha, well, if it needs to be written, write it out. I'll probably read it anyway I'm beginning to see my ups and downs are more apparent. I'm beginning to not like them at all. Damn school is really making me so crazy. Overall I've been good. Still living and breathing. As long as I'm doing that, life is just peachy. Work still treating you well?
Cotton candy is good whenever though. I'd have just got some. 8) I'm pretty swell, thanks. Had an up and down period, like you do, but nothing to tip me over the edge quite yet. Kinda scared of writing in my journal, because it'll be a long post, and... well. Yeah... How've you been?
Me too. I went to the theater the other day and they had cotton candy. I wanted some, but t he people I was with said no. I already had a few to drink and we just had supper. lol. How have you been?
Thanks!
Oh, I seeee. Well, at least you know. Nice to meet you, Carli. I'm Gemma. ^^ I'm glad you found us here - from what I've seen, you're a lovely person. ^^
You're right, I can. Except I'm at work right now and I'm already getting weird looks from other people...I'm reading the journals...Interesting things they are. Sorry, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Carli- you've probably seen me around these past couple days. I stumbelled across this forum while browsing pictures. I fell in love with it and joined. Great community here. I'm glad I found it.
You don't need to start again. Just edit your first post.
