Anomie

Sometimes my mom pisses me off. It seems like nobody really understands that going to school full time and working full time isn't that easy, so I figured that my mom out of anyone would understand. My exam's on Monday, so I figured that I would wake up earlier; around 10am, and study for a few hours before work, because after work at 11:30pm I'm absolutely exhausted to even study when I get home. So I did that, because knowing that she does work overnight it would be accomodating since she would be sleeping during the afternoon, and wouldn't wake up until I went to work. Little did I know that my mother loves to wake up at around 12pm, and decides to cook, clean, chat on the phone, talk with my cats, wash the dishes and decides to then TALK to me, while I'm struggling to study and racing for time. For four days straight I only got two chapters done- which is better than nothing, but considering I don't really have that much time left on my little schedule- it's really not enough. I poured my heart out to my mom this afternoon in tears and frustration because, and perhaps in part it was my fault for yelling, but really I was frustrated. She knew that I was studying, but then decides that it would be a great idea to do those things while I'm trying to study. Maybe I'm being selfish, but really- during the whole semester I didn't whine, kick or scream - until today.
I think that I need to relax a little bit.

Anyway, three more days, I should be able to do it.

Oh how things would have been different if I didn't need to work full time while persuing my degree...... Perhaps I would have even done my masters. If Merton's notion of "Anomie" is applied to me personally- I would be the "rebellion"- rebelling against strain caused by the goal of the American dream and the means of persuing it. While others, who decide to cheat on their exams, would fit into the "Innovation".. LOL* too much studying- well I guess it only means that I understand the material right?

That's all for now people--- I need to get ready for work.
