This blog post is different the usual. I find myself so stressed and I really want this semester just to end already. Some of my professors (excluding Dr. Hartman) have really been pushing my buttons lately and I am starting to get so irritated. My math prof decides to dump this on us for the weekend. (Let me restate that she doesn't do a thing teaching wise in my class). So each homework assignment she assigns us, takes at least an hour and a half to two hours. She decides to give us two assignments. Then she decides for us to take a quiz online. The quiz is timed for 75 minutes, and it usually takes that long. Even though we can take it four times, I at least take it three times. Seems like the third time I get a good enough grade in which I am satisfied with. So our hour count is now up to almost 8 hours of homework. Then she decides, well I don't think that is enough, lets do 20 pages of notes. Great. Another almost two hours to go through the online program and take notes from the videos from the stuff she should be teaching us in class. Now we are up to 10 hours for the weekend. Then to top it all off for her class. Exam on Wednesday. Lady, YOU ARE CRAZY! I'm pretty sure everyone's jaw dropped in class when she said all this. So the last few nights I have been up real late doing this crap she assigns us. I'm pretty sure that 99.9% of the students who take MATH 111 will not be needing it for their major. That's what irritates me the most.
Then on top of all this my father had a heart attack this week. Blessed by god he is doing alright. He's been in the hospital for the last few days and hopefully he gets released tomorrow. Living three hours away really sucks right about now. Knowing my father is ok, makes it a little better but also knowing I have all this math, three exams next week and my father having a heart attack. It's been a terrible last 3-4 days. I need to get through this week and then things will settle down again for a little bit. I am really looking forward to NEXT weekend when all this is done. But most of all I am looking forward to next semester. I know it will not be as stressful of a semester. I am just continuing to work hard and try and make it out of this semester alive. As much as I would love to have the grades I set out to be. Realistically, I just don't see it happening. I am going to continue to work hard and try my very best.
I leave everyone on this note. Everyone should cherish everyday that they have on earth, cherish the health of themselves and family, and cherish the life they have. For whoever has a healthy family and is seeing success from hard work. Never stop what you are doing and continue to strive for your goals. Hard work always pays off, and always rewards the people who do it.
Sorry to hear about your father, Sean. Glad to hear he is doing all right.
ReplyDeleteWow, so sorry to hear about your father. I'm glad he's doing well. I've never had to deal with that situation before, but I do know what it feels like to be stressed out to the max. Keep treading the water and hold your head high and you'll come out on the other side stronger and happier. It will get better!
