#and if i can't remember the exact keyboard shortcuts i can still use my mouse to navigate menus

Ugh, I'm calling it. I'm ragequitting homework for the week, even though I'd need to do 22 more hours if I want to catch up.

I haven't really had much time to devote to homework this week; it seems like I've had something going on every single evening until today, and I'm busy all day tomorrow too, so this week just feels like a crapshoot.

I've gotten to lesson 13 of 20 in the software training, but this whole lesson, I feel like I've been doing nothing but bash my head against the wall. I'm not sure if my brain is just dead, I somehow have a different version of the software, or if there really are that many typos and errors that it simply doesn't make any sense. (For example: The directions say to press Ctrl + A to drop to a new line and put "A." before the point where your cursor is. But no, if you do that, it starts scrolling down through the transcript. To do what the directions are telling you to do, you have to press F4 + A.) And some of the things it's telling me to do acts like it's already explained how to do it, and I can't for the life of me find those instructions. I can't tell you how many times today I've yelled at my screen, "What are you talking about?!"

Okay, maybe more like muttered darkly rather than yelled.

But yeah, I'm not making any progress when I'm this frustrated. I know from much experience with math classes that nothing will get into my brain that way <_< So I'm going to send a couple questions to the teacher and then focus on writing or something tonight x.x
