Biology is bloody hard................

      When I first started this semester (back to school after 12 yrs), I was so excited with the overall attitude of "I can do this, let's do this". I do not want to sound defeatist but wow - biology is really what is kicking my butt. I study for hours and hours, do all of the homework, the objectives, SI, and tutoring in Oconee 300. I have not been able to get the results that I am going for and I am not sure what else I can possibly do. I like my instructor very much. It is not the memorizing or really even the understanding what I am studying, it is more about putting it all together and seeing the big picture. It is very frustrating and this is only the beginning - BIO101. I still have three additional and more advanced biology courses to go before I can start the nursing program. I know I will pass and get there but it is really frustrating when you are falling short of your goals. Aaaaahhh!!!

Road Rage............................

     We have all been there. Running late and getting behind an idiot going 15 miles under the speed limit. Nothing is more annoying! But, I don't understand people who constantly cut you off and flip you the finger while cursing at you out of there window just to sit next to you at the next stoplight. That can be just as annoying. I heard a comedian commenting on how no one enjoys driving while singing to their favorite song on the radio anymore. I was thinking of that when I drove to pick up my kids in Florida this past weekend. I brought all of my favorite cd's in the car and rocked out the whole way. It was funny to me watching all of the road ragers angrily swerve in and out of lanes like maniac's while I was having my own little private concert in my car. Luckily my kids like my music and we jammed out together on the way home. They sing and play air guitar to my Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and KMFDM cd's. It was actually fun. I wish more people would do the same:)
