grr, argh

Grad school is really making me hate accounting. And making me question why I wanted to get into this field in the first place.

Like...I love what I do, I love my job - but my job now is payroll. Not accounting. And I know the degree will help my career in the long run but...my job on a daily basis doesn't require squat to do with accounting. Like, 97% of the time. I use Microsoft Office more than I use my accounting skills.

This is the part in the program where I just want to drop out. I know I only have two classes left but this last one has been a real beast. Like...I have a problem with online classes because I need a real live human being to explain stuff to me. Plus I am super ADD about reading tons of material when there is lovely internet out there to distract me. Plus the instructors at U of Phoenix don't do anything but moderate, really. Some of my classmates have been more helpful than these instructors. Notice how I didn't say professors? Because most of them don't have backgrounds in education. They're CPAs. Lame, boring, left-brained CPAs who know nothing about teaching concepts. Just, here, absorb this info and regurgitate it for the test.

OH SPEAKING OF TESTS. The entire class has been like, "doo doo doo, well this isn't too bad...", then you get to the final and it's like HELLO BEND OVER TIME. Every class I've had that has had a three-hour multiple choice final has been like this. I have made like 30's on all of them, partly because they are super hard and partly because I freak out at multiple choice tests, go blank, panic, have an anxiety attack (or some combination of all of the above). So here's another class that I have no idea how my final grade is going to be because I have to go in and anticipate failing the final exam. Trufax.

Meanwhile my house is filthy and my little dog is craving attention and I am just grumpy.

I want to drop out but I can't -_____-; I hate it. HATE IT I SAY!

I can hear the dog in the laundry room pretty much hurling himself at the baby gate. Oh lord. See, this is what I'm talking about.

You really need to go through this so you'll know how to deal with all the accounting stuff someday. And to think that graduate school is even harder than others. You need to be more patient to have better accounting skills.
