there's nothing quite like good ol procrastination to get me focused on other projects (such as a neglected blog!). being enrolled in this blasted math class for the 5th time. (yes, 5th. before you go ahead and file me away in the "dunce" category, allow me to rationalize this disgraceful statement... 3 of the 5 times i dropped- for various reasons all of which i believe to be completely reasonable and have nothing to do with me avoiding disappointment and epic failure- so i've only failed miserably once. and even then, it wasn't a fail in the "F" sense, but rather a big fat D. who knew "even d's get degrees" was a bold face lie? i do now!) this time around i have an awesome professor, (whom i believe to actually be a they might be giants puppet character who has magically come to life by the help of my fairy god mother to assist me through the treacherous terrain of mathematics. really. this guy belongs on sesame st. incidentally, i need college algebra to be explained to me as if i were 6, so it works out really well.) add glasses to this dentist, and you have the perfect cartoon rendition of my professor.
between an awesome professor and a smarty pants boyfriend with an unbelievable amount of patience, i have so far been able to carry a low A. this is nothing short of a miracle. i'm not getting excited just yet... midterms are next week and only time will tell if i come out alive/successful. i'm keeping my fingers crossed.as it turns out, there is never a time where i am more productive than when i have math homework.
. i have managed to clean the house, bake up a storm (read: brownies, cake, & banana bread in a week. ben refers to the kitchen as the dessert buffet.) start a project of making curtains (oy vey. that is an entirely different can of worms/blog topic so i'll stay away from that), and have even began a somewhat consistent workout schedule. thanks math! despite having the ability to make me frustrated, anxious and stressed, you have made me one productive gal!
