Well, if I never felt challenged before, this was the week that took me to the edge! I'd never blogged before, I didn't even know what one was or what you did on it! So! Finally, at the end of the week, there was a break-through! Not for me, but for me going to see my Admissions Counselor; admitting I didn't know what I was doing, because I'd set this up before, and now nobody could find it, including myself. It was time to humble myself and saying "I need help"! Do you know how hard that is for someone like myself? I hate saying that I am stubborn, I prefer to say "I am very determined". Then, about 10 yrs. ago, somebody looked the two words up. "Determined" referred you to "Stubborn"; and "Stubborn" referred to "Determined". Well, so much for my pride.
I still don't know what the heck I'm doing; I see the others and then I look at mine and think "Yuck"! I have always believed that less is more - but I have learned that in this case it is not true! One is good, but more is perfect! I feel very uncertain and have no idea if this is the real deal or if I'm going to lose it all again.....but, I had somebody else work it for me - so it has to work.....I just Jinx it! They fix it! Not a bad deal if your pride doesn't get in the way!!
I'm still pouting over X-mas! I had to sit in my home and stare at the walls....My internet went down, my phone didn't work and TV during the holiday season sucks! So, I slept and pouted, cooked and pouted, walked around my house and pouted....then I just gave up and got all my pouting done so I could be comfortable. I know this sounds awful, but it came as a great relief to me to hear that others got snowed out of their Christmases too! Misery does love company, after all....and I'm understanding I had a lot of company. I couldn't wait for College to start - then when it did and I saw my on-line assignment, I was too numb to know what I felt! I looked at all the curves, the links, the tip-toing around in the program and found myself lost more than found! I was fighting with my 5 min. warning pal! I got so mad, I just plain got up and quit! That was a less than brilliant move! The internet was off for another 28 hrs. So, I put me behind the 8-ball in my other life (personal) and got to play catch-up in college and at home! Yeah, I have a real problem with brilliance (The lack of it)!
So! When you are sitting around doing nothing, come on over, hop on my blog and we'll keep each other company! How's that!! Good luck to everyone else that had a week like mine. Next week, I think they'll actually start throwing homework at us! That ought to be a hoot! See you on the Blog - Paula, living in Paula's World.

It's finally a new week; last week was awful and I lived in total upset - this week will be different. If it works? It works! If it doesn't? Too bad! Every class has its good points and then.....do I need to finish? I don't like being under the gun. I was fortunate to get some good strong advice from one of my instructors. So! I guess after the week I went through - not one course I take is worth living through what I lived through. So! I've had the worst - now, I'm taking the best - take or leave it! I think this is where I need to be - I'm no longer sweating the grades. Each subject gets equal time. Finally, I can relax!! Hope you all are doing well! Miss reading your posts.
