Inside The Mind Of A Writer

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 sai...

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all is going great with you. On my end, I am still trying to tackle this online math class which feels like it'll never get done. I am so close but not close enough. Today is ten years since I graduated high school in 2004 and started right up at Boise State. Which of course lends itself to some reflecting on what I have accomplished, what's happened to me and just how far I have really come. I've been through what feels like a hell of a lot of bad relationships but thankfully seem to no doubt have found the one. We've now been together for four months and I have no doubt we will be together much longer! Its the school thing and not completing it that's killing me though. I look around me and am friends with a lot of people who I went to high school with and they've graduated and have great jobs. Here I am going on almost two years working in retail at Gordmans. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I am a cashier though. Interv...

Readers, Hey everyone I hope all is going great on your end. On my end, I've been busy somewhat enjoying this summer spending a hell of a lot of time with my girlfriend Ruth, went and saw the band One Republic with my friend Jordan, went to music fest (which turned out awesome aside from sky blue and the fact that they cranked up the bass too much), went to Mayhem Fest a couple of days ago with Ruth and that was awesome! Suffice to say I got to see the band Mushroomhead in concert, Korn, Ice T and body count (which is an awesome kinda metal rock band, check them out), Avenged Sevenfold and the Texas Hippie Coalition. This summer hasn't been the most exciting summer though because I've had this math class sort of hanging around my neck like a noose of sorts. Its painful because I am so damned close I can feel myself succeeding but there is still that part of me that also sees failure at the end of the tunnel. Its hard as hell not keeping that breathing monster at bay...f...
