OHNOGONNAFAILWASTEINGMONEYANDTIMEBADSTUDENTNOTDOINGITRIGHTCAN'TCONCENTRATE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :awilly:
Pant...pant... Ok, I thought I'd get that over with today while I'm taking the sabbath off and actually have time to post, because that's how I'm going to start feeling again when the sun goes down tonight.
Basically, I have three classes I need before I can transfer to a four-year university: Statistics, Biology 1, and Sociology 3 (or equivalent classes). I started the semester taking all three, but it became clear that I couldn't do all of them at once. I dropped Statistics, since that was the class I was in the most trouble in at the time, and tried to focus on the other two classes.
I've been doing fairly well in Soc 3, though I have an essay which is just past due. I tried to dedicate all day yesterday to doing it, but found it really hard to concentrate, but only managed to get going in the last two hours, and got it about half done. I should be able to finish it monday, but it's really frustrating because it should be easy for me. I've written much longer and more complicated essays than this assignment requires.
Meanwhile, I'm even more behind in Biology, which is like a foreign language to me. I have a late lab, a late journal, and a current lab write-up to do, as well as an essay to correct and a presentation to prepare by tuesday. It should all be doable, except that it feels like my mind and body are rebelling against me and refusing to cooperate. I'm just praying the teacher is grading on a curve!
My parents, who are giving me money for my education, weren't too happy about me dropping Stats, especially my dad. He thinks I'm just copping out and falling into a pattern of dropping classes, but every faculty member I've talked to at the school has agreed that taking Elementry Statistics and Bio 1 in the same semester is a bad idea.
I'd feel better if I were more self-sufficient, but I'd probably take even longer to graduate if I tried to work too. I've felt like I was swimming in a sea of stress and guilt this semester, and I don't want this to be my life!
Anyway, I need to try to complete all my Biology stuff before monday, and my paper on monday, then I need to study like crazy for my Biology final, and read a chapter plus skim past chapters for my Soc final.
I just want to be done with college and doing something productive with my life!
