Reading Reaction Unit Four

It's a classic story of a broken heart: I was in love but had to stop seeing him for reasons beyond my control. Drug addiction played the biggest factor in this scenario. I had quit talking to him for a couple of weeks because I needed to clear my head. Was me staying clean more important then this relationship? Could I get him to stop? He had to do it for himself. After about three weeks he hooked up with another women. "Did he not love me ...... ?" Stop! Sit back and realize what you are thinking, it's not all about you. It is about the drugs! Steps I take during these times are talk to friends, see my counselor, call my sponsor, go to a meeting, or simply sit down and meditate. Take life one day at a time. "It's o.k to love yourself," is what I say to myself as much as possible. Consequently, this relationship has come full circle, and he is working on himself and staying clean.

Finals

What is the best way to study for a final? I believe the best way to study for a final starts by, organizing all your homework, quizzes, and exams. For instance, in my math class we have had eight quizzes, three exams, and roughly fifty homework assignments. I have started gathering, and sorting through all of this paperwork. My instructor has informed me that; consequently, every question on the final comes off the exams. We have been assigned a ton of review questions, so I figure if work and study these problems I should get a good grade. Since I am on academic probation, I need to get a good grade in this class to bring my G.P.A up. Studying for finals might be stressful; moreover, if you are organized things should go well.

Summer plans

While summer is deffinately not my favorite time of the year, my plans should make up for what I don't like. My children spend most of the summer with their dad in Grass Valley, that will give me a chance to catch up with myself. I become the fun parent, and Brandon becomes the boring displinary parent during the summer. Since I am not in school, I have to pick up more hours at my job to make ends meet. In addition, to making ends meet I also get extra money to do fun things with the boys. This summer is going to be the time for a lot of our family firsts. I plan to take the boys camping; in addition, to getting season passes to the water park in Sacramento. While the boys are gone, I plan to work on my core issues. I want to take a parenting teens class since I struggle with my parenting. Although summer is not my favorite, I plan to make the best out of the time I have.
