Determined to prove I could do it on my own...fell short but not giving up

Readers,

Hey everyone I hope you're doing good. On my end, its getting closer and closer to not being able to get a class I need and secondly running out of time to realistically go test out of this damned business calculus class! As I have written previously, I have taken this class more then six times at this point. I tried it at CWI several different times even and still was not successful. A deal was brokered, I'd do it on Khan Academy and go test out of it (essentially only because I had taken it so many times and clearly something wasn't working). My father encouraged me to pick it up and work my ass off on the math like he normally does, putting a boot in my ass...saying you got this...plus my girlfriend Ruth as always has been incredibly supportive. I had people offer to tutor me and help me out...but at the end of the day I was determined to go it alone. I have never considered myself prideful, but in this instance I clearly was. In this instance with math, I said to myself, "Chris, you have done this class a ton of times! Fuck getting tutoring you will do this alone...you will spend a ton of time on it and you will get it done...you will go test out of this class and move on with your college career"

Literally there are maybe thirty two plus assignments left in the calculus section on Khan Academy but from the times I did take the class those sections didn't click. Essentially I've been trying to teach myself. The blind leading the blind. I hate the fact that I let pride get in the way of my getting help with this math class and getting it done. Literally I broke down probably over a week ago because I realized I was just hitting rock bottom with this math class and like in the past Ruth was there to tell me, "Baby its all right I love you and will be here no matter what happens". I know I write a lot about her throughout this but she really has been a solid rock when I haven't been able to. Not once has she ever felt smothered either. Literally still today almost five months later I feel like a kid and still get butterflies around her. At the end of the day, I don't know what I am going to do really? Ultimately, I know I need tutoring in this calculus class. Ultimately I could probably reach out to a lot of friends for that. Ultimately I have the option of going and working over at CWI on this math. At this point, I think I need to break down and just pay someone for one on one tutoring or maybe an exchange like family photographs *shrugs* Essentially, as many of you know this class is what I need to finally nail the proverbial nail in the coffin and graduate with my two bachelor degrees from Boise State (hopefully) 

Took a moment from writing this blog to talk to my girlfriend Ruth. At this point, there is no way I am going to successfully get this class done on my own. Therego I won't be going to Boise State this next summer. Instead I am going to focus on getting a personal tutor because I really do need the 1 on 1 attention for this class. Feeling calmer and more in control just wishing I had this class done. Feeling great because of how incredibly supportive and loving Ruth is

It'll take a lot of work but I am determined not to give up on this math class. I am determined to get it knocked out. I am determined to go take the test over at CWI and go on to pass the rest of my classes at Boise State *smiles* So, this following year it will be getting together with a tutor and going through this calculus and getting it knocked out. Mm other than that I'll be enjoying myself some, ie. going to see the band Theory Of A Deadman in concert and celebrating my 30th birthday

Well back to real life. Love having this as a way to really clear my head. Thank you all of you for reading this even if sometimes its simply clearing my head. I appreciate it! Recently learned that a friend follows my blog and reads what is going on which I am incredibly thankful for. You know this started out for me and became more then that. The more trailers I see for the turtles movie the more excited I am to go see it in theaters! I'll catch ya on the flip side

Don't over think things (repeat)

Hey readers,  I know crazy? On my end things are good I am sitting in my usual special study place in the Micron Simplot building here on the boise state campus. Feels like a giant weights been lifted off my shoulder with that test behind me considering it feels like as of late I have been doing nothing but drilling that commercial law material into my brain. Whew let's just hope that all that studying will pay off in the form of a very solid grade for class that would rock.  Got out of my math discussion group which seems to be utterly useless because they don't actually teach you anything its just doing a worksheet with a bunch of people that don't have a single clue what is going on. Okay not everyone doesn't have a clue but still its the blind leading the blind. Than met up with my friend William which was awesome it was great catching up and shooting the shit about movies, music and the stuff during our summers that occurred.  Tonight's another BSU g...

Everything Happens For A Reason

Readers, Hello there I hope you're doing well. On my end, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my Inlaws and ate far too much yummy turkey, and vegetables and lastly of course desert. Celebrated an early birthday with them which was nice, my birthday cake was a Pumpkin Pie which as many of you know I love Pumpkin! Yes, Ruth says, "You like Pumpkin everything too much". I beg to differ from Pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, to pumpkin cheerios (which were actually legit, I hope general mills rereleases them next year because they were way to good to just be a one year thing). Feels like I dragged my birthday out after that went out and celebrated an early birthday with my good friend Ross and his girlfriend whom may or may not want to be named here so I wont for the sake of the blog but they're so happy together *smiles* I am glad love has found another one of my friends, I digress we went out to Bodovinos for delicious wine, desert, and cheese. Of course I eventu...

Damn its been an eternity but I am back

Readers, Hey everyone I hope you've been great. On my end, listening to the newest Hollywood Undead album which is solid and determined to kick out a new blog. Over the past several months I would start a new blog then get distracted and it would just sit here. So here it goes, in a couple of hours I am going for an job interview *crosses fingers* Hoping to get this because along with my job at gordmans I could really use a second one. Until I know more after the interview I will simply say I am excited and have a good feeling about this interview today Reflecting back on the past several months life with Ruth Clark has shown no sign of slowing down or stopping, those butterflies haven't stopped either. Never have I ever felt so loved or so supported by a woman. It was an incredible valentines day together and an nice escape to Mcall (we're shooting for a cheaper honeymoon and a nice escape to Mcall). We're hoping to shoot for getting married in a year here and I am...
