My buttocks has been kicked

I have been putting in the hours and doing the work when it comes to the math.  Today said math has kicked my but.  Actually the first two sections I did today went well.  The third section was the problem.  It was all word problems and my gosh.  It took me hours to get through it.  Hours.  I don't have hours upon hours of free time for this.  To say it is frustrating is a serious understatement.  The only good news would be that my EDUC 3000 class does not have homework.  We do the work in class.  I actually quite like that professor.  He has a lot of teaching experience and has worked in the district office so he brings a lot of knowledge with him.  This math however is killing me.  I am way past my bedtime tonight and that doesn't make me happy.  I like to have my sleep.  I need to have my sleep so I can function properly.  There is just too much to do everyday to be fighting exhaustion as well.  Dang word problems.  It wasn't just word problems, it was taking word problems and turning them into linear equations and solving them.  Holy crap.  I'm sure that is real easy for a lot of people.  I don't happen to be one of them and thus the 4 to 6 hours alone on this section. Dang it.  Not happy about it but what can I do?  I have to press forward and do the very best I can do.
