The Call Me Pap-Paw

So we are ending the 5th week of school. How am I doing you ask? Well in short.....struggling. There just does not seem to be enough time, when I try to set time aside responsibilities come up. It is really  wearing me out. The only positive thing is that the classes I am doing I have enough familiarity and can “fake” it enough that I getting bye with an decent grade.

So we are in week 2 of classes, I have already ran into issue with time....lots of issues. But the thing that is bugging me the most is that amount of busy work. Maybe its just my age, maybe I just don't remember it, but busy work is something that I just can't stand. Wasting time on something for nothing or when you time could be spend on something else is one of my biggest pet peeves! What makes it worst was this week on the busy work things was something that had to be done for no credit. Yeah maybe it is something that they needed done to show work, but couldn't we have just done something productive and for credit. So back to the schooling! I have always wanted
