Faces you Make When You’re Trying to Turn Your Test Into a Testimony

Ok so look, when I decided to return to school to get my Masters Degree, after 50 lev’m years (that’s a long time for my non Ebonics friends,) I knew I would have my work cut out for me. I knew that this process was not going to be easy.

Yet here I am, in my third week trying to understand why someone like myself, a creative brain, is being forced to take not only Accounting but Economics, which should only be reserved for mathematical brains.

For the entire weekend, I have been posted in my office, trying to finagle my assets from my elbows, while studying for this Accounting test this week. I can assure you, I am spent.

For the life of me, I don’t know how people crunch numbers for a living. God bless them. I literally have been looking at numbers sideways for a good 48 hours and just when I think by Golly, I think she’s got it! She don’t got it and I’m starting at the beginning all over again.

I will say this though, without a test, literally or figuratively, there can can be no testimony. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., so poignantly pointed out, “nothing worthwhile is gained without sacrifice.” So this is where I’ll be, confined to my office, books opened, computer on and pencil, that I keep losing because I forget that I put it in my bra, filling my head with as much data as I can to be successful. Study until failure, then come back and do it again tomorrow. Essentially taking it back to the basics of studying when I was an undergraduate.

I think my new glasses help me to look outstandingly studious, don’t you? These are actually my Fab Amazon Find for this week. I was hoping that like working out, if I looked cute doing it, I’d be more inclined to get it done. I don’t know if that part is true but the cute part is legit! They’re not prescription but you could always add one to them if you needed it and they come in other pretty colors. If you’re interested in purchasing the glasses, they can be found here.

For what it’s worth, you can replace my school saga, with whatever you are trying to do, to get yourself to the next level. You can even incorporate my shady faces into your story. Just know, that when the hard work is done, we have the honor of reaping the reward. Whatever that may be for you, then the face you’ll make will be one of, I did sh*t!
