Did anyone else have a particularly crap Monday this week? Mine was so disappointing, especially after an unbelievably upbeat weekend.
My math teacher is in the habit of hanging on to our homework and tests FOREVER. So long, that I asked whether or not we would be receiving any of them back (he’s yet to return ANY of our homework). We took test #3 before receiving test #2 back. Turns out I totally bombed test #2, which would have been really fucking nice to know before taking test #3. Especially since math is a subject where concepts build upon one another and now I’m freaked out that I may have bombed the most recent test (which I wouldn’t fucking know because he hasn’t graded mine yet…though he did grade the majority of the rest of the class – WTF man?!), when I could have worked on misunderstood concepts if my teacher wasn’t so fucking lazy, and did his goddamned job.
I spent the better part of the morning feeling really crushed and did a semi-decent amount of crying. (Thank god for clear mascara gel – not that it mattered by the end of the day because even though my lashes looked pretty good, I still looked like someone had punched me in the face and rubbed lemon juice into my eyes.)
My dismal math scores led me to the (very adult, very disappointing) decision to cancel my trip to St. George this weekend. I seriously need to buckle down and do a sick amount of studying and I know that I won’t be able to do that if I’m out of town, having fun, as planned with Stephanie. Even though I know I need to stay home, I’m so bummed I can hardly stand it. While talking it over with my sister I started bawling. While breaking the news to Stephanie I started bawling. While thinking about it in the car I started bawling. (Notice a pattern?)
I just feel like shit for disappointing Stephanie. We haven’t seen each other since the 4th of July and we’re both lonely for each other. I hate this. I’m hoping today will be better and I’ll feel like less of a failure – in school and my personal life. The general ick of yesterday began to seep into other aspects of my life and suddenly I was an insecure cotton-headed ninny muggin. And it was about shit that I have NOTHING to worry about. Sometimes I really hate having feelings.
Now come on, commiserate with me about your shitty Monday and help me feel better, would ya?
Oh Pants, you had the Monday from hell, too. I’m going through a horrible break-up, and woke up yesterday in tears. After having a complete meltdown at work, I went home, watched Lifetime and bawled my eyes out. By late afternoon, I felt much better. Crying is cleansing, so let it out, my friend. Hope your Tuesday is better, and know that I heart you very much!
It sucks being a grown-up sometimes, doesn’t it? I’m sure the responsible decision is the right one, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Sorry.
Oh that’s crappy. I’m so sorry you had to cancel your trip and your teacher is a douchebag.
I didn’t cry yesterday but I did manage to work too many hours and feel sorry for myself. I hope today is better for you!
Yeah, Mondays suck. I went to the doctor today because I was tired of being tired all the time. She thinks I might have glucose intolerance which means no more rice, pasta, flour, bread or sugar. So yeah, Monday can totally bite me.
Well, your decision, although adult, is sucky to have to make. I’m hoping that by mastering these skills you’re likely to excel and then be able to go for a nice, well deserved weekend later.
My Monday? Filled with a guy at my workplace coming into my cube, shouting obcenities at me, and threating me. All because of Fantasy Football… oh, and his addiction to cocaine.
It was definitely a freaky Monday.
From,
Another Pants
im sorry you had to cancel your trip
::hugs::
i can’t comment on my monday, because it was a good one in that i didn’t go to work….
My Monday? Consisted of a boy I used to hold in a somewhat decent regard telling me that I fail at monogamy and should get over it by hooking up with him, since a hookup is all I’m good for.
Awesome.
Shit-tastic about the Match and canceled plans though.
I can help you with math…. just like I could have helped you with Bio… (notice a pattern)
Aw…I’ll sympathize. For once, my Monday didn’t suck. Probably because it’s the last one I’ll spend as an official resident of Utah, ever, if I have anything to say about it.
Hang in there. I remember college, still, with shudders. Especially math. I made it and you will too, with far better grades, I suspect.
Well, I have been planning a camping trip with my best friend, who is married. As usual, the closer we get to the trip things start to change because he is married. Monday I get an email that “we” should just hang out on Saturday and go for a hike instead. Wow! I feel special now. Helping a 500 pound lady with her wheelchair didn’t even make me feel better after that. She’s not my girlfriend.
Oh Pants! I am so sorry we didn’t have the chance to connect last night. I hate traveling for work and having to be in different time zones daily!
Call me tonight.
YOU didn’t disappoint me, our canceled vagina fest disappointed me. I want you to do well in school as much as I want you to be here with me. I love you x’s infinity. We will be together soon!
Amy,
I’m sorry you are going through an awful time right now. But I’m glad to hear the little book is helping you…it sure has helped me. Thanks for the chat this morning! xoxo
Stefanie,
When I was a kid I thought being a grown-up would be like the business Barbie: all pink, lots of pretty suits and plastic accessories.
sizzle,
Thanks, I hope today is better for you too!
sprizee,
Oh dear sweet lord, glucose intolerance is no joke. I’m sorry. That sucks SO bad.
Hello to another pants (happy fun pants)!
Oh the days of cocaine fueled aggressive co-workers.
dmb5_libra,
Thank you for your sentiments.
Big Time Fancy,
Well fuuuuuuck that! Seriously, what a jerk.
Aaron,
Respond to my email, already!
lostinutah,
Congrats on a nearly complete escape from the hellish bonds of God’s Country!
The Grunt,
Oh joy, who doesn’t love canceled plans?! (I DO!)
Zanny,
Me too, but no worries, I know you’re busy…and I found people to babble incessantly with. I have study group tonight…I’ll send you a text later to see if our schedules are better synced.
sdragoc,
Thanks Stephanie, love you madly!
Have you taken your math troubles to the tutoring center? I think there’s a special math tutoring center in one of the math buildings, but it’s been so long since I had a math class and used the tutors that I can hardly remember. But I know for a fact that there’s a tutoring center in the Marriott Library, so you could inquire there. I want to say tutoring is free, but if it’s not, I’m sure it’s inexpensive.
I had such a great math teacher in high school that it was a shock coming to university and seeing that there are some pretty shitty math teachers out there. You know, just because you are good at math doesn’t make you a good teacher. So I did an awful lot of self study and used the tutoring center a lot so I could pull a good grade and save my scholarship. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Also, I don’t know what level of math you are taking, but for instance, there is an awesome Cliffs Notes for Calculus. I never fully understood the concept of limits until I read that thing. Seriously, check them out and see if they have one for whatever level you are in. They speak English unlike math books.
steph could help you study!!!
i’m sorry you are having a rough time.
i just got back from new york on sunday and my monday sucked because i spent all day hating my life in texas. booooo texas.
i will cheer you up and send you a picture of the guy who wanted to show me his “teepee”. brace yourself. he is very attractive.
not.
You should take all your snotty tissues from the crying and mail them to your teacher.
Oh, that SUCKS. Your teacher is an asshat.
Monday did blow.
Give me his address and I’ll slash his tires. Or at least put a bag of flaming shit on his doorstep.
I’m sorry that yesterday was so crappy. Maybe a trip to D.I. would cheer you up!
I’m sorry that your teacher is so stupid and lazy. Want me to punch him?
Let’s go grab a Polygamy Porter at the neighborhood bar and call it good. Sound good?
My daughter’s teacher last year was like that…they would take a quiz and then get it back AFTER the test. How is that helpful to know what you need to study more or don’t know? But she ended up with an A anyway, so I’ll hope the same for you!
Sra,
I have taken my math troubles to the tutoring center…and they are very helpful. Far more helpful than my fucking teacher!
I’m in Algebra right now…so nothing THAT scary.
crystal,
It sucks coming home after a trip, huh?
Um, that guy who wanted to show you his “teepee”…disturbing! He’s your neighbor, right?
ubermilf,
I will remember that the next time math makes me cry.
Lara,
He sure is and Monday sure did blow! Hope your week is going better.
meggypoo,
A trip to D.I. would cheer me up like nobody’s business…but I’m trying to be a good girl and make sure my studying is in check before I go and lose myself in my thrift store obsession.
Burreetoe,
YES!
egan,
Better than good, that sounds perfect!
tori,
I’m glad to hear your daughter fared so well with her teacher…I hope I can say the same for myself at the end of the semester. At this point, I’m afraid an A may beyond my reach, but dammit I wanna pass this shit!
Okay then, let’s blow this pop stand.
Sweet! See you in 5?
