school, feeling overwhelmed

ugh i know, i hate that! i always seem to be the one who gets stuck doing everything because i am stuck with the people who decide they wont do anything....but i hope they do their part too! good luck with your project =)

i think im getting a project in my drawing class tomorrow, plus i have a paper due for my english class in a few days so im kinda stressed about that.

but today i finished this mandatory alcohol test that every freshman has to take online, and if you didn't finish it by the 22nd, the school is going to freeze your account so you cant register for classes for next semester. and i had been so busy that i had been worrying about when i was going to get it done, since it takes an hour or more. but luckily i passed it today so thats a relief.

thats good you finished it... and it sounds like you've got a lot of work, but you'll be fine and manage to get everything done.. it'll work out

thanks =) im still trying to get used to balancing everything

i always hear the first semester is always the hardest, then people adjust

yeah, i think thats true. its definitely getting easier.
but the workload is still crazy. like teachers don't care that their class is not your only class, you know? they all assign tons of work at once and don't care about other work you have...

mmhmm... i know how it is.... or if you have family friends, a life even?

hahaha yeah! its definitely hard to balance everything.
its always going to class, meetings, getting work done, then being with friends and going home to see friends and family and spending time with them.....there's not enough hours in the day to do everything

mmhmm. i'm always thankful for my rare saturday off.

haha i bet!
i live for the weekend haha, just for the break. but i hate when homework takes over the weekends too

thats good

so did you know about my heart thign goin on?
well, i went to the doc tonight, they didnt hear anything, but
they are doing further testing.. had an EKG, that was normal, and blood work that i'm waiting to hear about... then another test called a holter monitor.. basically i wear this thing for 24 hours.

wow, that sounds scary though!
i hope your okay =)

good news kinda
blood work came back, and the one was high... its called TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) so i have to take a medication everyday, pretty much the rest of my life

basically people who have what's called hypothyroidism (high tsh level) are fatiged, always freezing, there's weight gain, dry skin, dry brittle hair, hair falling out, and some heart things can be associated

i went for my heart, so that could be an explanation.. i'm always tired, even when i get sleep, always cold... even in 80 degrees... i'm overweight, have dry skin... hair falling out lately (i dont mind that much, cuz my hair is sooo thick... i'd like it to be thinner, but not really really thin, to balding haha)

wow! so you have to take that medication for the rest of your life? thats crazy! as long as it helps though, right?

yeah.. it does, but it explains a lot.

omg. I just saw this topic and know EXACTLY how yall feel. college is so frustrating for me right now! it's my first semester so it's definitely a learning experience. High school was sooo easy compared to college and I barely had to study at all. Now it's crazy...I usually love science but it is sooo hard right now (i'm in pre-pharm). like right now..I'm supposed to be working on a lab report due tomorrow but I just have no motivation
okk I just had to let all of that out so I'm feeling a little better lol

oo... pharm is hard... are u planning on going to be a pharmacist?

I took a basic pharmacology class, and it was tough... the whole class felt like it was hard... I passed, but didnt do real well... i got a C.
I'm going to have to take another one this year... probably more in depth, and i'm scared.
at least i know about some medications a little now from working in a doctors office


good luck..sounds like your in a challanging career path

Yeah I plan to become a pharmacist but my major is psychology with pre-pharm...so it could go either way. The classes are tough, but it's more so because I make it that way since I have terrible work ethic right now...
I hope you do well on your class! work experience really does help

are you working anywhere?
if not, trying to get a job in a pharmacy may be a good idea... they have cashiers, and people to take basic calls/basic questions and can be promoted to pharmacy technition or something.
it would be good experience for you.

No, I'm not working at the moment but I have my pharm tech certificate and I plan to get a job after the semister ends... I kinda just wanted to get used to college first but the experience and money would be a really good thing right now!!
