First of all, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I just need to vent. I feel stressed because I am trying to balance school and getting a license for selling insurance where I live, although it is a brighter spot in my life, and I am excited about it. But on to the negative! I am frustrated because me and my mother are currently living with family, and there have been problems with my sister's husband ( living with sister). On top of that, I am frustrated because I am sucking royally at math, and anything I am good at requires a good dose of math ( mostly financial and business related fields) and I feel like a failure because of it. Honestly, it is bringing me to the point of tears. :( . I am going to try and fet my math down pat, but I am fearful I won't be able to understand it. (tried multiple times, but I am working with a different type of book now) . And on top of that, I have the FB blues because there has been a rush of people's "fake" lives on my page (usually most of it is political and fan pages I get on my wall). Because of it, I am feeling down because I don't hang out with many people. Honestly, the two biggest things are math and home, although I put home behind this morning, I had feelings rush back due too my math. I appreciate you's putting up with my whining. Thanks

Math is my worst subject. I'm 25 and going back to college and I have to spend HOURS in the math lab getting one on one tutoring. It's hard but I've just been trying to be persistent, I'm determined to learn and keep learning so even though I'm barely making progress, I feel better if I list everything in my head that I've learned that seemed really hard, and it keeps me going.

Facebook was really depressing me because I kept seeing all of these people I used to see on sometimes a daily basis in person and now I'm just a homebody half of the time. I ended up closing my account, and reactivating an old one to join the WP facebook groups and they're really active and cheer me up on a daily basis.

Yeah. So I can KIND of relate. I'm sorry you're having a sh***y time, but some stuff sounds like it's looking up for you, so that's good. :)

Thanks :D . I try to "always look on the bright side of life" ! Although sometimes that is hard. I guess I was getting a tad emotional about everything, especially with Calc. But I guess I will just work on my math over the summer. I have a book I am reading on the side (Modern Algebra Structure and Method) and I figure a change of book type and teaching style (new math vs old math), which might help. Anyways, thanks again.
