Summer and Stress

Posted on the 06 May 2012 by Brittanypigg @twinkletoesbrit
Finals week is one of those times that college is not so good.
I had a mental breakdown today. I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor and cried. Then I ate. A lot. That's what I do when I get stressed.
I'm not even sure what I was crying about. Probably some of the following:
  • I'm two weeks behind in math, with 3 days to make it up.
  • I haven't even started studying for 2 of my exams.
  • I have eaten wayyyyy over my weight watchers points plus allowances every day this week.
  • I haven't made my schedule for next semester yet.
  • I forgot about biology homework that was due today.
  • I still haven't found a summer job.
I can't wait for this week to be over.
I'm in an online math class (I wouldn't recommend it) and we have to do a certain number of sections per week. Then, we take quizzes and a test on the material. It is really easy to get behind because we only get a 5 point deduction for not being on schedule. Now I regret it. Once I get caught up in math, I can live in Starbucks and study for my exams. It'll be a breeze from there.
This summer is going to be great! ...If it goes as planned. I have set goals for my summer that will (hopefully) prepare me for the fall.
  • Reach my goal weight.
  • Work tons of hours and save up my money.
  • Start going back to church.
  • Relax.
There are some problems with this plan. I don't have a job. I don't know what church to go to. Relaxing is impossible. I think I'll just wait til summer to figure that out.
