I'm so overwhelmed

LeighRiehm

School is def kicking my butt this semester.  What was I thinking taking 18 credit hours.  I have like 3 classes that aren't to bad, 2 for sure I have a B in, possibly an A.  This one class I'm taking for the second time cause I have to have at least a C and I'm still in the D area.  Its all tests and they are KILLING me!  I just took on over our lecture today and I got a 58.  I will be emailing her cause some of that stuff we didn't cover in class at all so i think that I should get points for those since I missed them.  I made my school to-do list for this week only and I about cried when I saw it all.  I know some of it won't be THAT bad, but its still overwhelming, especially when I have so many other things going on.  One class that I didn't think would be that bad has a HUGE portfolio that takes an hour per page and when I turned in the first half I did it wrong so I have to re-do almost the whole thing.  I need more hours in the day.  My break at work consists of going to class and I can't drop hours cause I need to work to pay my bills.  I'm so ready for my mini-vacation to go see my brother in a couple weeks.  I'm gonna try to get ahead so while we are gone i don't have to worry about much.  Ok I just needed a little vent and a little break from all the work I've been doing since I got home from class.

And I thought I had it bad. I'm not even taking 18 hrs. and I'm still freaking out. This semester is almost over; you'll make it. Just breath, relax, and try your best

That definitely sounds overwhelming, but it will be so worth it in the end!!!

This!

I remember my last semester I crammed in 18 credits so I could graduate before I had H1, while working fulltime and 8 months pregnant!  It's tough, but it's so worth it to buckle down and get it done.  And don't be afraid to ask for help!

I understand completely. I just keep reminding myself that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and some people aren't lucky enough to be able to go to school and get a degree. It's hard and tiring, but graduation will make it all worthwhile! You won't always be this overwhelmed so try to stay positive and just do one thing at a time. You CAN and WILL do it!!!

I know it will all be worth it. Doesn't help that I lost my memory card for my camera that has ALL the pictures I need to do this portfolio. I've been looking everywhere for it.
