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

Epic moments are rare

Readers: Sometimes in life a great moment occurs in a day that seriously you just wish would get over already and you could conk out and have tomorrow happen occur and you are amazed and startled and inside you cheer with every part of your being. As those whom have been following me since last April I took the break up with my ex Trisha fairly rough hell in fact very rough. But have been over her for a good long while now which rocks. So for the epicness that is today. Just was passing what is called the ILC and noticed my ex and her little sister walking towards me out of the corner of my eye considering I was partially busy talking to my friend Debbie whose in my interviewing class. Didn't honestly past her much attention in my brain aside from mentally cursing her I was just like okay whatever its cool. Well she must have noticed I was there and when she noticed I was there she literally grabbed her hand and sped walked past me. Hope you enjoyed this epic moment as m...

The Fun Never Ends and a Hope for Something Good

Readers: Hey everybody its been quite a while since I have written one of these. I hope all is well in your world's. As I wrote about in my last blog about the two weeks being hell week. Well it nicely claimed its name with bravado and like a little shit stain with a magnifyine glass he's burning up any ants he can lay his hands on either that or like a woman who discovered the last Twilight movie was cancelled (which of course didn't happen though if it had there would be chaos). Currently listening to Love, Hate Sex Pain by Godsmack while writing this up. Its just been that kind of past week where it feels like shit hit the fan not in that good way either. First there was the date with this cute girl named Bobbie. To be honest I know I like her quite a bit we seem to click and hit it off perfectly and it feels like like with you readers out there that I can share everything and anything and you don't look at me like I have fifteen screw's lose inside my brain....

Never thought anyone would ever really read this

Readers, Hey everyone I hope you're doing great. Years ago when I started penning this online journal I never thought for a second anyone would ever want to read this or continue to read it either. Honestly I decided to let a friend read it and I was surprised when they came back years ago and said, "Wow this is good I can totally relate. You need to share this!". Part of me in that moment thought you're nuts I am ripping down the curtains and sharing everything about me...from thoughts of heart break, to cooping with thoughts of possible suicide (where I battled with beating myself up, don't worry that beast is in its cage and has been now for some time), to dealing with the frustrations of the big bad dating world, my own personal feelings regarding school and my possible failings at it, and happiness there was plenty of that and is plenty of that. So, I started gradually just sharing current blogs, only to have people actually go back and explore everything f...
