I am overwhelmed with school stuff already and the classes on line just started on thursday...I am not giving up yet...but two online master degree classes are already driving me crazy.....these are my 3rd and final courses until the end of August....instead of taking the two courses which i am used too...i needed to do an extra course if i wanted to graduate in May of 2013...
I just wished that writing and finding the words would come out easier....why does it take me hours and hours and then not even be finished the assignment....I am wasting too much time....I just want to do it and be done with it....
okay i am walking away and ordering dinner...Can anyone relate? Is there a vitamin I can take....lol....gingobola doesnt even work anymore....
I dont want this to trigger me....and i think it already has....

First let me congratulate you for your goals and determination.
Go easy on yourself. When we pressure ourselves too much, we tend to lose it. And it's normal to have days we are not as quick as we think we ought to be. Here's my practical suggestions:
Take a deep breath. Change your venue. Take a walk in your garden. Have a break every 90 minutes (bec our concentration sort of diminishes/retires every 90 min according to scientific studies). Visualize that you are able to finish your assignment in a snap. First thing first. Start with the assignment that needs to be done or you have the desire to do first at the moment. Whatever is the subject of your assignment, try to focus on it. Say it loud. And last but not the least believe you can do what you're supposed to do at a given time. Just do your best and leave the rest.

thank you survivor....yes i will go easier on me...i have always been use to doing things on my own...and i just hate to humble myself to ask for help....and it drives me nuts that i cant do it myself....I am learning to humble myself and to ask...i will surrender those thoughts and feelings and ask my hp to do for me what i cannot do for myself.... I am breathing and taking a deep breath....and thanks so much...i am hard on myself...and then i finally give in....but the struggle from there to here...is rough....good thing i posted this....i am not alone anymore.....I will just do my best and i will leave the rest...thanks Sun  ) |

thank you survivor.....I appreciate your kind words....believe it or not...i got stuck for hours trying to figure out what the professor wanted and i even emailed him ..and what he wrote back....it took me a while to figure it out...i also had a friend trying to help and to make sense out of it....we struggled together...and after a few hours I posted my frustrations on this board.....and i walked away from it.... I just finished swimming and washing my car...came upstairs and i told myself...this is it....i am writing it out and sending it to me...and i am done with it..... I cant tell you how many times i had to perfect a paper and it still wasnt perfect and i put so many hours into it...i cant do that anymore...and sometimes i struggle... so anyway....i came upstairs and wrote it out and i am done....just have to type it out and post it....wow was that simple and clear and right on......lol....i am so happy and free from this first assignment..... I just cant believe that this professor doesnt even post the notes....and just wants us to critically think and it...and omg do i struggle with that.... thank you so much.....Sun ))))) |

Unfortunately there are some professors who are abusing their authoritative power by being vague, making things ridiculously complicated for their students perhaps thinking that by giving their students a hard time they would have that edge to receive "special attention" from their students. I'm sorry that you have a professor like that. But good that you are a sensible, balanced woman who could even grow and become a better person in the worst of situations. I'm proud of you. Just remember that whatever grade you'll receive for your assignments > you did well. You did the best you could and that's what counts. Thank you for sharing and happy Sunday to you! :-)
