Psych 101

My Psychology class is getting more in depth now. I find myself getting lost in my head half the time. When I am writing notes I notice I jumble words together, very odd for me. 

Well I had my first exam, I'm not sure if I did well I barely have any study time. I know You are probably asking, why am I doing this blog then? First off, I have so much going on in mu head to keep things straight and to even think. Writing a blog, journal anything helps with getting my thoughts out so I can concentrate on important subjects.

I find that when I do this I calm down, and relieve a bit of anxiety, yes I have terrible anxiety and I should be on medication ( but when do i have the time for that kind of help.. ha ha I need a psychologist) 

Still, I'm nervous to say the least, I need to have a B in all my classes to get into Nursing. I have like 10 pre-required courses I have to complete to get in. I know I need a good GPA. I going for a 3.7 GPA so I wont be on the waiting list. ( Really, who has the time to sit around waiting for years).

I may have to put my children in day care if it gets bad, just so I can study. I am doing this for them but I do want to spend time with them of course.

I do not know what to do, its not like I have the money to dish out for daycare. It costs more then I make a week.

Mike and I (my Fiance) have talked about it plenty of times. It goes no where. 

What I learned today was When a female listens, she uses both sides of her brain, But a man only uses the Left side. Not sure what truth comes to that, there was only 1 study done on that topic I guess.

Any how, I'm just to tired half the time to move let alone study. I have hypothyroidism, but that is another story in itself. Obviously I am not on medication for it, again where is the time. 

Well Time for me to sign off. I need to make supper, and then study.. ha ha

Ciao

:::UPDATE::: I failed that first Psych Exam! I passed the Second one with a b+ YAY

Two plus Two Equals Four

I had Math class last night. It is just a basic Math Class. I am terrible with math, as soon as Fractions come into play. I can do Long Division pretty well, as well as the other basic stuff such as Order of operations, roots, exponents, integers and of course adding and subtracting.

We get to Fractions with our next class.

I have been having such anxiety because of the Math. Im not going to lie I am better at it then I was giving myself credit for.
Well I need to keep this short because I need to leave for my Psychology class and I have an exam.

This is going to be a difficult endeavour...

Well it is only my third week of classes, and the stress is getting to me.. well it already did.
I work part time, and I do love my job but it does get to me. Obviously I am not making enough money, which is where an education comes in.
I am just so tired all of the time, and I rarely have time to study. My children are very young and they need a lot of attention, so it makes it difficult to take time away to study. I am not a single mother I was blessed to have met the man I am with. He is an amazing father, and we own a beautiful house. But we do struggle, and just make it by. My children are not in daycare, so I take care of them when I am not working or in class.

I am Paying for school because I could not get financial aid, I am not married and I did not work in 2009. I went over this with the people with FAFSA and my schools Financial Aid office. But alas, I can not get financial for this semester because I need my parents information even though I am a mother of two. To me, being a stay at home mother is supporting my children 50% or more, which is what they go by. By those standards I am a dependent, but I disagree. Plus, giving my mothers information would not at all help..yea..

They actually told me to write a statement of common law marriage to get financial aid. Now that made me laugh, do I believe in Common law Marriage? Possibly! But I m not going to confuse myself and everyone else. Im confused thinking about it. Ah, I have no clue. But I filed my FAFSA for the 2011-12 school year which wont take effect (if it does) until the fall semester at my school.

Well I am going to end my post there, before I get to carried away after all.
