Freaking out!!!
I cant handle anything that has to do with school right now, it is nearing the end and all I keep thinking about it how bad I am doing in every class. Usually my mid term grades are good but this time around it was far less than that. Seeing my grade in this class makes me realize that I am not doing something right and I am not sure what it is. I don't know but what I do know is that I am so over school right now it is not even funny.

i feel you on the whole being over this semester thing. it has been quite stressful for me as well, but you cant just give up! keep working hard and your hard work is bound to pay off in the end!
Elizabeth, I certainly understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and feeling life is crashing in from all sides. I truly understand the feeling of having many responsibilities and truly uncertain of how to handle all of them successfully.
I have often found the key is to take the many things in small steps, develop a plan that is doable for you and find support to help you accomplish the things you need to do in order to be successful.
Grades do NOT define a person. They can give us information to use but only each of us know what we know.
I am willing to work with ANY AND ALL students to help them complete all assignments, tests and the semester successfully. It only takes the student coming to me to discuss what they need, willingness on their part to accept the help and finally effort to complete the necessary tasks.
You can do this, one step at a time.
Let me know what I can do to support.
PS. . . for education majors who want to be TEACHERS and spend their lives in SCHOOL doing lots of work to help children LEARN...that feeling of being "so over school" is one to take a long hard look at how deep it runs. (Not to say that there haven't been lots of times when I have been VERY ready for a break.)
This is the time of the semester that I absolutely loathe. I feel like all of my projects and assignments are all due at once and most of the professors usually just tell students to wait until they discuss them in class before they start..which is all in the same week it seems! Thank you Mrs. White for discussing our assignments weeks in advance. It's definitely crunch time...especially after that last exam! So..yeah I completely understand where you are coming from Elizabeth! I think we are all experiencing the same thing right now!
I know what you mean about being over the whole semester thing....I am too....and these last couple of weeks seem to be the worse....to me it just seems like everything is piled on you at once...I know its not that way...but it feels like it.
This semester has been rough on me to. I have to much work and to little time. I hope that everything gets better for you all though.
I too am OVER this semester!! I myself am too much of a procrastinator, and I'm finding with the projects and such due in mass quantity that it is so much better, and not to mention less stressful to start on things early! (A lesson that will also be good for me when I start teaching) Everyone just hang in there and do your best! JUST 5 MORE WEEKS! :-D
I want to add about how much I relate to this situation. It's more than just school that is overwhelming me. It's life in general. I have had to deal with things this semester that I never have before in my life. I think that at my age life takes a drastic turn and there is so much that gets thrown at a person...new experiences and challenges. Add this on to a crazy 18 hour classload like mine and you have a recipe for disaster. Oh yeah, and try and add having a life in there and just forget it! I understand completely! I have been freaking out like crazy! I cried for like 20 minutes the other day and felt better afterwards! It relieves some stress for me anyways. I allow myself one mental breakdown per semester. Just something to check off my list! Hang in there! We can do it!
