Stress

Stress. That basically sums it all up. A couple weeks ago, I was extremely sick with strep throat, flu, sinus infection, and ear infection. This caused me to miss a whole week of school. Yes, I know that that sounds amazing and incredibly lucky to be able to miss school for a week, but it wasn't. After being confined to my bed for 3 days straight where I wouldn't move except to use bathroom or get some more water, I  started to get bored and kinda mad. I couldn't do anything about it. I had to stay in bed for longer. This in turn would cause me to progress into an even worse mood because I couldn't do anything. After this cycle commenced that whole entire week, I was so happy to be able to finally get out of bed and at least eat some crackers on Sunday. It felt like the best day in the world. And I would get to go to school the next day where I'd get to see my friends and even do homework! Hey, at least it was something to do. But my good mood quickly diminished after about 2 minutes after school started. I was in math class. I had a butt load of homework to make up in there and a test. Bad part was? I could work for hours on make up work and get some of it done, but then I'd have to do that nights homework as well. So no matter how much progress I made? It always backfired because I had that nights homework as well. Next class was anatomy. That wasn't so bad. I just had to take 2 tests, study,  read through a whole chapter and remember it, and memorize all the muscles in the body. Yeah.. that was sarcasm. It was a crap load of homework. And then came econ class... surprisingly, there wasn't much to do. I just had to make up a test, do about 2 pages of notes, and read chapter. English was the class that almost succeeded in killing me. We had to write a definitional argument paper, something that we originally had 2 weeks to work on. She was expecting a rough draft on Tuesday, the day after I had come back. In what should have taken two weeks will now have to be done in one night. I had a break down. Needless to say, after a gruesome week and even a weekend full of homework and studying, I thought I would finally have a break. And then I realized that we have finals. We just transitioned into the trimester schedule this year, and so finals are this week. So, I was sick for a week, crappy week full of make up work, and then this week where teachers throw all the stuff at us that they didn't have time to fit into their schedules along with finals. So, this week has been pretty crappy too. I expect to have another breakdown in about.... 2 minutes.
