Cheer me up?

My day was really bad today. The last week I’ve had five papers to write in almost the same amount of days, and though I managed to do one or two earlier I was stuck with the rest in quick succession. This was the last essay day. I didn’t get a lot of sleep before my hour-long commute at dawn, and then while coming home I got ticketed for speeding on the freeway (which I was, but only 10 miles an hour above the limit. Still, guilty as charged). Because I have problems with anxiety and the lack of sleep made me have a meltdown, so I pulled off to calm down for a while. Unfortunately the turnoff I pulled off on, well, I got really lost and didn’t get home for many hours after, after dark.

I could just use a little cheering up, help.com, because the whole day seemed against me. And while my problems are nowhere near as big or disastrous as some that are on here, they still hurt to me.

Some days are crap. Just let it go and try to make tomorrow better. And if you put off the five papers ’til the last minute, learn from it.

I didn’t put off five papers til the last minute, I thought I made that clear. I’ve known about them for about a week before they were each due (am on the quarter system) and I’d worked at them as fast as I could. I have other homework during the week as well to do. I don’t mean to sound defensive, but everyone here at home keeps implying that I procrastinated, which I did not! I did my best not to, and it still happened from having five major-specific classes this quarter.

Anyway, thank you everyone! I do feel a lot better from the encouraging words.

Yeah I didn’t know if you had procrastinated or not. Usually 5 papers due in 5 days would imply that. Schools post grades and assignments online through sites like schoolnotes, edline, and echalk. Why can’t teachers coordinate major assignments better? Even Microsoft Outlook would allow them to post major assignments as appointments. You’d think it would make for better learning and thus better test scores if a teacher was aware of the timing of major assignments and tests going on in other classes within their grade. Oh well, at least you made it through.

It’s not so much that they don’t, it’s that in a quarter system for an english major a lot of papers become due around the 3-5 week area, and they just so happened to coincide on the same days for me. For some I had the prompt early, and could work on them - for others they decided it based on class discussion the week before. Such is college! XD
