What's that?

Oh hey...it's a brain sucker...

Do you ever feel like life is sucking the life out of you? I do. All the time. I suppose not life in its entirety, but the ongoing saga of my education is going to be the death of me. I started my 4th class with University of Phoenix this week and it's going to be my hardest one yet. I think I want to quit and wait until we move to go back to a traditional school. I was an A student at Oxnard College, now I'm a C- student. I have never been a C student and I don't like it one stinkin' bit.

I suppose I'm not trying as hard as I could. It's just that there so much damn reading...and a paper to write every single freakin' week. My last class and this current class even have final exams. This current professor does not accept late assignments...at all...no exceptions...and I'm the queen of late assignments.

I think the field of business may be all wrong for me. I enjoy Accounting, at least the actual organization of the the numbers, the forms, the...tidiness of it all. But I'm not liking everything that goes with it...the management classes...business ethics...all the damn PAPERS I HAVE TO WRITE. I'm good at writing papers...I even like writing papers...but having one due every week? I just don't think I can handle this anymore.

The thing about quitting school is that I'll quit getting my GI Bill and unfortunately we have come to count on that as income. It would be nice to get a job for a while. Something that doesn't take much brain power. I applied to Bath and Bodyworks for a seasonal position but haven't heard back yet. I picked up an application for the Navy Exchange, that wouldn't take much brain power...patience, but not brain powers.

I'm sick and tired of going to school. I'm almost 34 freakin' years old, who cares if I'm educated?
