Howdy friends, readers, lovies and more!
It has been a while since I have posted, and I do have good excuses, but I have missed my little bits of writing to you all.
Let's see, as the title suggests I'm having a problem, and one mostly with school. I am extremely stressed, tired, sick and angry at the college system right now. Not a new feeling mind you, but one that has been brewing since last semester.
I feel like half my teacher's don't teach well, while the other half is fantastic at their job. I had to drop a class this semester, which always is hard, I hate admitting defeat. I feel emotionally, physically, and mentally drained and I am not entirely sure how to cope with it all.
Here's the break down of the future: I have about two years left, of mostly Journalism and History classes, things I love and am getting degrees in. I am getting to the downhill battle, I hope that it isn't so uphill from here anyway.
I am leaving this summer for a study abroad in Florence, Italy; which I hope will give me some clarity and strength to tackle the next two years.
So what else can I do to feel better about school? Take on less responsibility elsewhere?
I can't cut:
Boyfriend, his daughter, eating, sleeping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, oh and school.
I could cut:
Job, KCSU (college radio), sewing, watching TV, FUN, reading, writing etc.
In reality:
I need volunteer work for my degree to look better (KCSU, and/or hopefully the Collegian in the fall)
Oh and I NEED to add on an internship at some point in this whole degree pathway thingy thing....not sure when or what I am throwing on the pile.
And I NEED my job in order to pay all the bills (mainly health insurance).
So...
can someone help me out here?
All ideas are welcome!

Can you cut down on your work hours and take a wee bit more student loans? It probably wouldn't make much of a cost difference in the long run.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cut out TV, or learn to work better on other things while the TV is on.
