If there is one thing that bothers me it would have to be people that don't own up to their own mistakes and then try to blame it on others. Let me explain. So in my substance abuse treatment class, we were assigned partners to work with on intake interviews. One person was to be the counselor and the other, the client. Ok, so I was assigned to someone and tried to contact them since this past Tuesday because the assignment was due Sunday. Another student was unable to get in touch with her partner so she and I decided to work together on it so we would get proper credit. So then the morning the assignment is due we both get emails from our original partners saying that they have tried contacting us all week. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I don't think so!!!!!!!!!! So, because I have been burned before with this whole group work and partner thing, I saved every email that I sent which is time and day stamped and I saved every email from my professor that I received back. It still irritates the crap out of me that my original partner tried to say that she tried contacting me and that I never got back to her. Why is it that people think I am stupid? Needless to say, my new partner and I got our assignment done properly and on time. If it had not been for a proactive approach, we most likely would still be waiting...
I never realized how much work school would be. I think it is because my classes are not 16 weeks like a campus school. They are 8 weeks, though technically 7 1/2 weeks. It seems like as soon as I get my homework done and turned in I have to start another assignment, and then another and another and so on. I need a vacation!
At least I have the blog as an outlet. My husband got a new phone so I really haven't seen him since. He keeps playing with the phone and he doesn't listen. When he does want to talk it is usually about the stupid phone. Like right now he is standing next to me telling me about ring tones... Hopefully, eventually this will blow over.
I think I need to just relax. Time to call it a night, I think. More later.
seriously, i have to blog for an outlet. i try to talk to my hubby and most of the time i get "ya uh huh" answers because his head is in his DS. It's like he doesn't get how busy I am with school.
