still trying

to get the idea through my thick head that I've been out of school for 22 years and it's gonna take TIME to get back into the swing of things --sooooo--STOP BEING HARD ON YOURSELF!!! GOSH!

I mean, REALLY! Logically, I can make that leap w/out so much as a twitch of the eye -- but, mentally or emotionally, I miss it by a mile.

My test grade on my second music history class was horribly. I barely passed, which is NOT encouraging. Am I studying too much material? Am I not studying enough? I tried sitting down with the teacher a couple times and I just don't get it. Which leads me to believe that it must be that I still just need to relax and learn how to study better (ie: taking notes more efficiently -- I think I fall into the "taking too much information" category).

So what if I have to take one or two classes again. I should look at it this way: If I do, then I'll certainly pass them the second time AND have learned to study more efficiently...finally.

suggestions?

of course, it would help if I could get rid of the need to be perfect. grrrrrrrr
