I popped the strings again

Today, I decided to put strings and my acoustic guitar. Yes brand new sexy epiphone bronze wound ultra light,(my only set) on my stupid guitar. I was hoping to change the strings in under a freakin hour and 30 minutes and keep working on Layla unplugged. Which is sad since I been playing for a year and 2 months. Yes, every single thing was going good, but when I went to tune them the 3rd string snapped. :evil: After counting to 100 I decided not to throw my acoustic out my college dorm window, only because it's snowing right now in South Carolina and the snow would keep it from breaking, and not set my Washburn hollow body electric on fire, which needs strings but it can just keep the factory ones on it.The very first time I tried to put them on, a year ago the high string broke and sliced my hand, because I was using the string winder at 100mph.The second time I broke 3 strings without the string winder , I had to reuse the ones I just took off so I had 3 new strings on it and 3 old ones on it, now thats alternate tuning :lol: I tried every stringing method on the world wide web, the directions suck.Maybe I should get a teacher for a week just to learn how to string a guitar. After today I not playing any guitar for a week because I'm very mad, and I got a 5 string acoustic, hopefully I don't step on these old strings laying in the floor. I did string them once but the strings touched each other at the headstock, but it played fine when it stayed in tune. I think i will just pay the store to put them on from now on, before I check myself into a mental home.The Hardest part of learning the guitar is restringing!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :evil:

I now now about what the right tension is for any given string by just fretting it. That usually gets me within a half step and then I can tune up with the Chromatic tuner. I still can't tune by ear after 2+ years of playing!
