This is going to be a difficult day.  Later I'm going to a birthday celebration for one of my brothers who just celebrated his 31st birthday on Thursday.  It should be a happy occasion.
But I was inconsolable last night when it became brutally obvious that I have to cut my losses on my math course (by giving up on a section), ending any streaks I had intact as far as keeping up with courses is concerned.  With two major exams next week and a paper I have to type this weekend, the time to backtrack is not going to be there.
I know I'm sounding like a crybaby, but catching the bad break with my work schedule has just...put me into a tailspin.  I can't seem to let it go, and I think I know why: It slammed the door on the one help out I preferred, and I can't convince my heart that the MathTV videos will answer all of the questions I have.
The only silver lining...tomorrow afternoon I'll be alone for a couple of hours, so I'm going to have this up while I (try) to focus on my exam prep.  And while I shouldn't be saying this, if you're available...I need to talk.
