I have no idea how I am going to handle getting a passing grade in Math before December 1st and writing and passing an exam on December 11th . I thought it was before Christmas that I had to send in additional grades but everyone else tells me it´s December 1st. I am trying to get a hold of a student counselor but the one that I have talked to previously is on vacation until November 29th. I am trying to get hold of the other two of the 3 that work there but one doesn´t want to handle my "case" and the other is never around. I´ve sent her an email and I am hoping to get a reply from her tomorrow.
I am wondering if I´ve made a mistake by not keeping to my previous plan but I really do NOT want to work with teenagers so I guess not.
I just feel like I am not spending the time I should with my kids, I am always either tired or superbusy with something. But I should try to decorate for Christmas with them, they´ve been asking me to do that.

Studies
I am starting to feel more and more distressed about my studies, it´s not a good feeling! I have an exam to write before Christmas and a math test to do also. Both of these have to be done in order to apply for the new Teacher´s degree teaching Primary School children instead of teaching Secondary School children which I first applied to. Besides that I have to keep up with the English grammar class that I am taking. So, suffice it to say, I have a full plate. I am probably working more than a 40 hour week, at least that is what it feels like.
I want to be able to spend time with my kids too, especially since they´re not around me all the time. I want to be able to help Matilda with her choices when applying to "gymnasieskolan" and to spend time with Aaron doing enjoyable things for both of us. I barely see Alex since she is living away most of the week, studying in Karlstad and having her volleyball practises in Säffle plus everything else that is going on in her life right now.
Sometimes it just feels like I should work more and just study a little but I don´t know if that is the right way to go about it either? What do you think? Anyone have any suggestions?

November already?
I agree with my friend Veronica when she says that she can´t believe that it is November and that a whole semester has almost gone by. Time sure flies by!
I have been studying with another group now, mostly girls from Alingsås but one from Kil also, which is a bit closer to me. But, we haven´t gotten together as the Alingsås people are able to do every week. Our group gets together on Adobe Connect every week though, it is a lot different to just have web meetings, but in a way I guess it is good too. That way you can sit anywhere you like, in any other place you fancy, another continent if you like :) We are studying English for those of you who don´t know that. We have just finished two modules, one is Pronunciation and Oral Proficiency and the other one is Language Acquisiton for Primary School Education. I didn´t care much for the first one mentioned here, but I think that it was just hard to catch up with the pace that she held (because I was in China when it started). But there were also a lot of interesting things that we went through so I guess I shouldn´t complain too much.
My new group and I got to meet in Karlstad last Wednesday for the first time (for me) for the beginning of two new modules. One is English Grammar, which I have a feeling is going to be difficult because I don´t know anything about grammar structures. I just know what sounds right or wrong. It is crucial though, if I want to be a teacher, that I know this. It seems like a tough class to be taking. The other one is called Culture, Media and Society and THAT on the other hand seemed very interesting. Unfortunately, I just last Thursday found out that I probably won´t be able to take that course until in the Spring. I was really looking forward to it too! The reason for that being that I need to pass one exam that I didn´t pass last semester and finish my Math that I need in order to get admitted to the Teacher Education for Primary School Education in the Spring. So, in other words, I have a lot of pressure on me right now to get that done. So, I better stop blogging and start studying. I have a Math test on Tuesday and an outline for an argumentative essay to write before tomorrow. Signing off for now, hope it doesn´t take as long to blog again as it has done up until now. I kind of enjoy it :) !
