Most Likely to Have a Nervous Breakdown Before the End of the Semester

So...yeah. Guess who has just been voted "Most Likely to Have a Nervous Breakdown Before the End of the Semester"? Well, ok, it wasn't me, but still, I think you get the point.

I mean, I am doing better health-wise than I have done in...goodness...years, prolly since early high school. That I am thrilled about, but I'm just worried that it is too good to last. Every time thing seem to be going really well, I get nervous, because I know it all comes crashing back down on my head.

Anyways, I'm just not sure how I am going to manage with school and actually have a life. But then again, who want's something as silly as a social life when you can be buried under a ton of textbooks?

I don't know. Maybe I'm pushing it...again. I alway seem to overextend myself. I just don't want to be overloaded. But I am taking 5 classes, 2 with lab (Calculus, Orgo II). So with just those two classes, I have 4 hours of Calculus with lecture and lab, and with Orgo, I have 3 hours of lecture and 4 hours of lab, making my total 7 hours just in that class! So for those two classes, I am using up 11 hours. Well, maybe not. A lot of times Organic lab doesn't take the whole time. Plus 3 more classes, Computers and Creativity (3 hrs/wk), Abnormal Psych (3 hours/wk) and Adolescent Psych (3 hrs/wk).

Sound tough enough? I haven't even started.

I know I am having weekly homework and weekly lab reports for Calculus (not to mention I seriously CANNOT remember a single thing from when I took it last...too many cobwebs). And it's a night class. I hate night classes. The good thing is I am going to have at least of a little head's up, because I already know Mathematica, and I saved all the labs from freshman year. FYI, I didn't fail Calc, I got a C in it, and I am re-taking it only because I found out I need to also take Calc II, and like I said, right now I don't remember the difference between and integer and an integral (lol, j/k). Plus pharmacy school is really competitive, so I wouldn't mind boosting my GPA a little bit.

Then for Organic Chem II, well, I wasn't doing really well when I took Organic Chem I. The only reason I really got a good grade was because Dr. W was an easy grader. And I rock at nomenclature. Lol. And I dropped Dr. R's class last semester because of my 'mandatory break.' So I have a lot to learn. And we also have pre-labs and lab reports and lab discussion questions every week.

Umm, well I guess with the rest of the classes, it should be easier, nothing I am seriously worried about, but I know I have a lot of reading from Abnormal Psych. On a lighter note, I think it is the BEST class ever. Haha. I am actually excited about the 5 page paper we have to write. I swear, if I thought that I would make a good therapist, I would so switch my major. (Btw for those of you who actually care, I added a minor to my Pre-Pharmacy major last year, so thats why I am taking these classes.)

So sounds like I am going to be busy, huh? Still not done. Since I am in an apartment this year, it now takes me a good 15-20 minutes to walk to the science building. As opposed to 5 from the dorms, like 10 to the math. I mean, it's not that long of a walk, but it kind of adds up, walking back and forth to classes. And my classes aren't blocked except one day, so I pretty much want to go back to my apt. after class. THEN, I have 2 appointments a week to go to. I dont have a car. So it takes me 30 minutes to walk there. So thats 2 hours a week I spend just walking. And another 2 hours for the appointments themselves.

And also, I am involved with APO and Cru, so that takes up time (but I actually enjoy this time, but the only thing is it is less time for me to do work)

Got all that? Ok, now add 10 hours of work per week. Ok, ok, so I shouldn't complain, I couldn't have a better job. I am a help desk specialist, so I just answer student's computer problems. Some of the time, I don't have a darn thing to do. So I can study, read, whatever. I just need to discipline myself to do work when I'm not busy there, instead of Facebook or whatever.

Ok, I'm done whining. I'm sure I'm being a crybaby, and most of you have it worse than me. Lol.
