Frustration

It's been a long while since I've been completely frustrated about something. This weekend I reached my boiling point and I was hot! I had been working on a research paper for my college class and after I saved it (several times) and went to submit it, Microsoft Office did something crazy and lost my paper. After talking to their support team, I found out that it was gone.....forever. I was MAD!!! I had worked nine hours on it just on Saturday. As I sat and sulked, I realized that I could either rewrite the paper or loose the 20% that the assignment was worth. Right now I have a 4.0 GPA and I'm kind of proud of that so I opted to spend yesterday afternoon rewriting the paper. Let me say that it's not nearly as hard the second time around. I did it in about four hours and IT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE! I am choosing to let this be an educational experience rather than let it get me down. Apparently I needed the rest on Saturday and apparently I needed to learn more about computer recycling.....;D.
With that class over, I'm now heading on to Anthropology. I will take this five week course while going on vacation, going to the Southern Baptist Convention, and having a heart procedure. Let's see if I can keep that 4.0 with this class.
