Your current frustration

[SantoUno]

I am posting this because I became so frustrated just now. I have been practicing a song for weeks already, and I am proud of myself that I finally learned the whole song.

The problem? Even though I know how to play every part, I keep fucking up parts that I already mastered! I keep playing the song over and over and over and over and over, my wrist is fucking cramped. And yet once I try playing the song in sync with the song playing in the background, I fuck up something that I already got down.

It is indeed frustrating, even more so because I want to put it up as a video already for fellow Escapists to see. Expect my video sometime next week hopefully.

So, what is currently frustrating you?

P.S. The song I am trying to master is In Flames - Artifacts Of The Black Rain. Hope some of you recognize it:

Heh music.
Stairway to Heaven and the Duncan Hills Coffee Solo frustrated the fuck out of me. Then again just about any metal solo frustrated the fuck out of me, which is why I gave up on it and switched to slow-moderately fast acoustic songs.

Current frustration is programming.
I'm a college freshman trying to get a CS major.
I have a book for Python/JES and in my own time, I read and play around with program and the stuff in the book(just got done doing some of that now). But then when I get in the programming lab, I fucking blank on how to get stuff done, and get like 1 out of 4 or 5 lab activities done in the class time. Taking tutoring for that Monday.
Also, Calculus is a bastard, but I took my 2nd test today and I feel like I did slightly better on it, what with the 4 hours a day every day studying it this week.
And finally, English. Just got done with 1 paper, to get assigned another. I have a good teacher, but I hate writing papers and essays, especially when I have to choose/make the topic up myself.
So basically, college is frustrating right now.

Overly repetitive commercials for the following:
anti-smoking propaganda
alternatives to viagra
That gieco commercial about the little pig that went wee wee wee all the way home
that new movie about Facebook

Advertise something else for a change, FFS there's a million products out there, advertise something that's not totally worthless.

Halo: Reach on Legendary while playing Solo. Fuckery I say.

I am frustrated by my mom's hatred of almost everyone in the neighbourhood. She's convinced they are all bad people, to say the least.

School (It seems I've been doing homework and studying ALL my life and college is no less consuming) I have good expectations for college experience, but my current situation is very bleak and dry.

Home life- I won't get into it, my family is just completely dysfunctional (must be the Fox News sterilizing their conservative brains of any remaining free or semi-rational thinking)

Unemployment (it's disgraceful to say the least, and I do feel ashamed when I hear about my successful older siblings who themselves went to college during the economic boom of the late 1990s- early 2000s). I don't know, I guess I just have try harder (minus the high salary and the kids being born every other month >_>)

My relationship- We've had a good two years together, but I just wish he'd set out on building his own life and not desiring a boring and terrible life here in my current city.

My ancient Greek translation homework! Why do you hurt me Greek? Can't you see I love you?

University, the intense amount of workload just before exams, and my lack of "game" while watching all my mates hook up with random hotties >.>

That I couldn't find anyone to replace me at work tomorrow morning. I should be sleeping now but it feels so EARLY. ><

My leg hurts.

Being bored/apathetic, that feeling of "I would really like to do something..Hm, perhaps
I'll-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-uhw..."

District loss prevention manager will be at work tomorrow. He'll ask everyone a series of questions, and if you hesitate, or answer one wrong, you're fired right there on the spot. I've been there for less than a week. I don't know a damn thing about the place.

Incidentally, the last time he showed up there, many many employment opportunities arose, which is how I got this job. They really really needed people after his last visit.

Now, I will go have nightmares about it.

Can't sleep at the moment. No real reason, just one of those restless nights.

Having recently graduated college and being turned down for every single job/career which could utilize my education experiences (thanks, English). So, instead of applying for jobs that require a degree, I'm now applying for jobs that require a pulse. I at least know that my heart is still beating.

Still, things are looking up and the only option is to keep trying (I want money simply to fuel my Chipotle addiction and also to take the girls I keep meeting out on dates... after all, no one wants to date an unemployed loser).

Management 321. "Effective Business Writing". I'm a published creative writer...and yet if the semester ended today I'd pull a B- in the class, by far my worst grade in the five classes I'm taking. For a writing class. And I'm a published writer.

Frustrating? FUCK AND YES. Fuck "business communication" in its corporate knob-polishing pork trap.

This STUPID SLIM JIM Commercial they force me to watch EVERY morning before the videos... It's long.. and fucking retarded...

 

[Lust]

I have the movie Metropolis sitting right next to me and I still haven't watched it yet.

I'm too lazy to put it on...................

 

[Dendred]

What frustrates me is trying to balance practising and studying...

Writing
Drawing
Machining
Computer Programming

...everyday.

Not to mention the consistant bitching I get from peaple dosen't help either.

My 100GB broadband allowance hit it's limit a few days ago so I'm just crawling at this point, it gets topped up tomorrow at least. Other than that, I've got two sets of exams coming up that determine if I get into uni or not.
Then there's the constant joy of watching the world slowly slip away and being unable to help, but that's more depressing than frustrating.
