For all the classes that I have this clall and another may be conprehensive. And I am totally freacking out, I cant put into words just how much I hate them. With my other class my teacher believes that all of the work that we have done just keeps on building. Well, thay maybe true but when it comes to comprehensive I really want to drop out of school.
Sorry, just had to let that out!

Elizabeth, life can certainly seem overwhelming at times. It's easy to stress and "freak out." I know you can do great on this test as well as your others. I know it's nothing anyone wants to hear right now . . . but . . .this is preparing you for the classroom. Classroom teaching is your comprehensive exam of FOUR or FIVE YEARS of college!
If we do not now begin to prepare students to put all of the information together, synthesize it and guide them to apply it we will not have done our job as your professors. You will get out of school, be unprepared to teach effectively and feel cheated because you didn't get a quality education.
I encourage you to make a plan or a schedule for your next two weeks. Plan relaxation and some fun in there, too. Work with others and use the supports you need.
Take a deep breath and remember you CAN do this. Teaching is not easy. It requires A LOT of time, effort and stress management. You'll be well prepared to face your first class based on these experiences you're positively tackling now.
