School = Stress

[JillLars]

I am so stressed out right now from school. I just finished up my classes tonight, but I still have a final to do for my independant study course, but my teacher hasn't sent it to me, which leaves me a whole 1 day to work on it rather than the week I'm supposed to get. Ugg. Then, I try to register for classes tonight, and I need to take 9 credits of certain classes before I can apply to my program to declare my major, so I wanted to take two independant studies besides those 9 credits (6 of which are all one class on a saturday), but the registration program on the computer won't let me register for all the classes I want because its 17 credits and the limit is 16. Ugg. So, now I have to go talk to my advisor and figure out how I can register to take 17 credits, or else I"ll end up taking only 13...Anyone else dealing with this type of stress right now? At least I have a month off after this week....thanks for letting me vent

Not exactly, but similar. First of all I finals next week, which isn't too bad since I only have two. But then I also have to pack up all of my stuff at the end of the semester, since I'm leaving to study abroad for the next six months and won't be coming back to campus after Christmas. I also need to finish an on-line class that is supposed to end in mid-January before I leave on the 3rd. I also have to work some over break to get money for my trip. On top of that, I have decided that I might join AmeriCorps for a year instead of going back to school next fall, so I need to fill out those applications (three of them,) and an RA application as well! I tell you, I'm a little stressed out as well, the only thing is, I brought my stress on me, whereas you were just given it!

See if you can get an incomplete on that independent study, take the week you're supposed to get to take the exam, then your prof can change the grade. My school had that option, and it was extremely useful for situations like that.

I know about the exam part. Me and my two majors and a minor..sometimes, i wonder what I'm thinking.

That being said, I'm happily wasting time by break dancing to the Beastie Boys

Yes I know that what you talk about! I pray for you...and ask please pray for me. Five finals to go! Two on monday and three on tuesday!

 

[JillLars]

I will pray for everyone who has finals coming up! I'm still waiting for that test, it was supposed to come in the mail today but didn't. Its multiple choice, open book, so I don't think I'll need the whole week to finish it, I just really want to get done and get my grades back. Luckily i talked to my counseler today and she ok'd me to take 17 credits next semester, it will be quite a load, but I think I can handle it. Praying for everybody!

ugh...did someone mention finals? I'm in the midst of them right now and going crazy trying to focus on studying. I've done two already, I've got two more today, and another one tomorrow afternoon. Yuck yuck yuck. I will be so glad when Saturday night roles around and I'm finally finished with all this. My added stress came yesterday when I found out that a group I'd been working with for a business class had FORGOTTEN to hand in our final report. I hadn't been able to make it to that class because we'd had a choir practice...suffices to say I was absolutely livid to find this out, especially since the paper WAS done on time. So I had to track down a copy of it, ended up having to re-type it b/c it was full of mistakes, and went to talk to my prof, who thankfully was very understanding and knows how much work I've been putting into this thing. ugh, it was an absolute mess...

Who's done with fall semester?

I am still waiting for my final exam to arrive in the mail, but for the most part, I am no longer stressed, and looking forward to having a month off of school. I can read the books I want to read, and watch all the dvd's I bought over the last few months but haven't had a chance to watch yet, make it to the gym everyday, woo hoo! I hope everyone else is wrapping up their semesters on a good note.

[JillLars]

[Wide-eyedWithWonder]

Yeah! I just finished my last final an hour ago! Woo hoo!!!!

 

[evita]

YAY for you!! This time tomorrow I'll be done, so I'm getting excited as well! Have a great break!

 

[Echoes Peak]

I just finished finals..
OOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

<jumps up and down while screaming like a maniac>


Okay, I'm done now.

I hope everyone gets good grades this semester! I think I may have gotten all A's, but I'm still waiting for my grades on two of my classes. If I do, this will be the first time in my whole life that I have gotten all A's. I don't know if that means I am on the dean's list or something, I don't even know if my school has a dean's list, but that would be cool!
