Ever just have so much on your mind, that you cant sleep. My life is insane right now. Everything is upside down and completely out of control. One second i find myself thinking i'm a genious, the next i'm a moron.
This year I managed to get myself enrolled in a cs3000 level class with database engineering. Skipping about 2 -3 prereqs. I think I was really just looking for a challenge. Ended up with alot more than I bargained for, and when the chance came to drop it, I kept it.
The problem in this class is not the material, or anything else but myself.. I could hit myself time and time again for browsing the web when the teacher is talking. It comes so naturally, habitually. She talks so booringly, in a deep chinese accent, talking about the same concepts we have been covering for the longest time. Nothing new happens, nothing challenging..but when it comes time to do something I am clueless.
I come in on the test day, feeling fully and adequately prepared. I take the test and turn it in expecting, no less than an 80, and maybe even a 95. I remember proudly walking up to the teacher, second person to turn it in, and giving it to her hand. Walking out of it, I wanted to call my mother, the anxiety of the test day subsiding, completely confident , about to tell her I probably made an A. I decided against it, usually when I tell my mother I did good, I get the actual test back and I failed..so wanting to suprise her, and not bother her with something she did not need to hear, I kept it to myself.. Reguardless of all that, I walk in on the next day and get a 64 in my hand. MARKED OFF FOR THE LAMEST BS EVER!!! I fully demonstrated I knew the concepts, I felt the paper wasn't clear enough. take this for example, I lost about 5 points on this because I used shorthand.

I wrote the fullversion the first few lines, the last few I just wrote the important part, I mean, its impossible to not know what I was talking about, any idiot can have gotten what I was pointing at. Its hard to explain but its dreadfully obvious. I would need to draw a picture..no time for that.. Some of the things were legitimate, but honestly I got marked off for really small stuff, and it took away many many more points than it should have.
The teacher told me she regrets even letting me in the class. To be honest I dont blame her. right after that, with all intentions to do well and a new footing I went to the next class expecting to be fully prepared. I arrive, book ready, pencil eager to take notes, the student next to me pokes me on the shoulder asks me if he can see my homework. I wanted so badly to jump out of the window in shame.
Why am I not praying, why am I not reading the bible? I think the desire is there but not the discipline.. I hate having to have disipline, its retarded. I miss good old highschool where I could ace pretty much any test without even cracking open the book. Just listen in class, do homework in class, everything was pretty well made for me.
I'm a wreck. I'm on probation as an RA, I'm doing bad in RA class.. Come on RA class is supposed to be eazy breezy. Can't we just restart this year... give me a clean slate or something. I've made some really bad decisions.
This all boils down to complete disorganization. Its my aquilles heel. except, I dont have superpowers to begin with..so lets just say its ... yeah..school just kicked me in the nutsack.
