The last two weeks have gotten me very overwhelmed and frustrated. Three weeks ago my 9 year old daughter decided she wanted to come and live with me after not being with me since she was almost 2. My 6 year old daughter and her father moved back down to my area after being almost 2 hours away for the last two years. I have been trying to transition myself into having my eldest daughter around full time. I know have 3 kids to get ready for school in the morning. One to pick up at 11 (after AM Kindergarten is done), one that rides the bus home and gets here at 12:30PM, and another one that walks home from school at 3PM. I am having to rearrange all my study time to help with my daughter's home work. Try to get my almost two year old son to take a nap in the afternoon after I pick up Raychel and before Serenity gets home. I totally spaced off the seminar last week for College Comp. II and I was really upset with myself for that. I still have not completed or turned in option 2 because I cannot find the time to get it done. I am starting to get frustrated with my Anatomy and Physiology class because i don't understand the assignments. I have reached out to the resource center and asked if they could find someone to help tutor me.
Wow now that is a lot to swallow the last couple of weeks. I am not completely positive about what I would like to do my final project paper on for College Comp. II but I am leaning towards something that has to do with affects on a fetus. I was thinking maybe something to do with methanphetamines or heroin use and it's effects on the unborn fetus. Could someone please give me a little bit of feed back or try to help me in the right direction. Thank you for taking the time to read my little whinning and complaining before I got right down to the point.

Wow Rabecka you certainly are overwhelmed!
ReplyDeleteHave you sent Dr. M an email asking for an extension on the option 2 seminar? Maybe she can give you an extra week to get caught up on that?
I think asking for help in your A&P class was very smart. And if you have a good academic advisor you can always call and talk with them.
Last term I was in a car accident and fell almost 2 weeks behind and was stressing out about everything. I was in contact with everyone...my advisor, my professors, and between all of us I finally caught up.
In regards to your paper...why do you want to do your paper on that subject? Is it because it sounds interesting, or because you have some experience with it (either personally or through friends or family members)? The reason why I ask is because I think it's iportant to keep in mind that this is only a 10 week class (shorter when we really start writing the paper) and it would be easier to write on a topic that we are more familiar with than on a brand new topic. That is one reason why I chose migraines to write about - I have personal experience with it and feel I can relate more to the topic.
If you are staying with this as your topic, maybe pick one drug (meth) and search for articles about the effects of meth use on the fetus... maybe that will help?
Also, just remember to breathe... you will get things done. You will figure out a new schedule. It will just take time.
