I have reached 31 years of age. I planned a trip to Panama. Then Covid happened. Yeah...it's been quite the year. I won't go into how 2020 has been, between the pandemic, me living in Minnesota where protests popped off, curfews, lockdown, national guard being on each corner, It's all too much, TEW MUCH, and I'm very much fatigued on the thought of any more chaos erupting. So an update...where do I begin.
My last post, I was detailing my struggles with my horrid math class, so to catch up, I finished that math class in December, which I had to go on campus to take my final which I bombed, I honestly didn't do horrible imo, but that professor was a complete and utter, walking ball of irritation. My final grade was a D, a whole D. I was not happy, because D is passing but D's don't transfer that well, at least that's what I thought.
So I made the choice to retake the class and figured it wouldn't be that bad, it started off great and then quickly turned to crap, and then Spring Break came during March, and Covid hit, completely turning the world upside down. In short, I ended up having to withdraw from the class. It wasn't going well anyway, the professor literally did not teach the class, and made it ten times harder. I hate to admit it, but my first go round, was taught a million times better even though he was stingy with points. So I officially graduated in May, obviously no graduation, so I was mailed my degree and felt a small sense of relief.
I enrolled for fall semester at Concordia to complete my Bachelors in Healthcare Administration, even though I may switch it, at first it was family science and then I said nah. Also that damn math class, that DAMN D, did transfer so hallelujah, I literally never have to deal with math driving me insane ever again. I look back on that time now and man...it was rough. Math really did a number on me.
So here I am, it's summer, I now work day shift, work is a total shit show but I have a weird schedule now that grants me practically a week off every other week. I've been getting back into working out because last year took a big toll on my working out. Trying to balance everything out with my new work schedule has been a struggle, but this week it has been positive. It has been a rough last few months, the good news it, my car buying process will finally happen in about a month, I have made huge progress and finally my patience will be paying off.
I'll admit, it has been hard for me to feel excited about anything because of everything that has been going on, but I really had to take a step back, and tell myself that I have put in work, I am doing a great job, I am accomplishing my goals, things have not been easy and I have been using this blog for a decade now, here and there and I am proud of how far I have come.
I am trying to enjoy every minute of summer, trying to get excited about school because while getting my AA, all I could think about was how I would need to take math, and now I'm going for my damn Bachelors. Ugh self pat on the bag. So it may be a while before I write again, but I figured I owed myself an update to see my own progress, so until next time.
