Today was a stressful day, partly my fault of course. School is getting to me, home is getting to me. I have 2 tests tomorrow and a paper due on Thursday... which I haven't started yet.
I know the tasks are easy but I seem to have a tendency to bog myself down with it.
But here's an interesting thought that I picked up in last nights Psychology class. The word test freaks me out. Lol, more than that, I think I have come up with the reasoning behind it. I can focus or concentrate if I'm in a totally silent surrounding. In school we are taught to study in a quiet place. I am totally surrounded by noise. My kids acting up, cartoons on and such. But to me its not noise. It's just normal sounds to me.
Case in point... at the beginning of the semester students can opt to pass out of a class by taking a simple test. So, at 36 years old, I ended up being faced with the challenge of advanced algebra once again. (yeah somewhat embarrassing) During the exam of 25 problems, I began to space out and the first and only thing I could think of was my grocery list!! Needless to say, I ended up passing the test, but missing by 1 point to pass out of the class. Yeah, totally pissed me off, because now I'm sitting there doing the same thing I did 15 years ago!! Next text I'm definately wearing my headphones!!
Now back to my regularly scheduled homework assignment!
