Priorities...

Everybody has them. If you want to get ahead in this world, you have to set priorities. Most people's priorities are corrupt, therefore people are hindering themselves from bettering themselves as people. I am one of those people. I will be the first to admit that I absolutely despise the subject of math. I have no idea why. I am not terrible at it, but it requires a certain level of thinking that my brain, which has turned to a lazy lump of mush, does not like to rise to. Now I am not justifying this or saying this is okay, but because I am not terribly dumb and essentially am just lazy, it offends me when tutors treat me like I am five years old. This unfortunately is one of my priorities. I have other reasons for not wanting to go to Math Support, mostly having to do with the fact that I just don't want to be bothered with the intense brain workout that my brain will most likely have to endure. However making my priorities my "feelings" as my mom so bluntly pointed out, is selfish, and I have to think about my future. I am absolutely positive my future involves college, and if I am going to college, I need to ace Pre- Calculus. I thought at first I could do this myself... but after looking at the summer assignment... I am convinced that I need some help.. and isn't that the first step to success anyway? Alcoholics and Cleptos and people with mental problems always have to start with admitting that they have a problem otherwise there is no way to fix it. So that is what I am doing.... I am looking at the horrendous amount of Algebra 2 and Trigonometry problems preparing me for my intimidatingly difficult Pre-Calculus class next year... and I admit....

I need help.

So today after my mom buys me an overpriced day planner from Barnes and Nobles I will tell her that Math Support, while overbearing and annoying, is what I need for success.

My priorities are in order.

P.S. Just to stay on the topic of love here... Priorities are a very important part of any relationship. When people's priorities are wrong or unbalanced in a relationship.... people get hurt. It happens all the time. For example, when I was dating my last boyfriend... my priority was to be in a loving committed relationship that would last. His priority was to get over his last girlfriend by fixing my insecurities and using me for physical companionship. See how our priorities were a bit unbalanced? That's why I was dumped and therefore hurt ...yet again.

That's all for now.
