Stress

I'm starting to think that I'm really stressed out this quarter. I'm sure it's from a combination of things. I really want to be a good student and pay attention in class and do well on the tests and quizes, but sometimes I find my mind wandering during lecture...and I know that I procrastinate when it comes time to study. At the beginning of the quarter, I was kindof expecting my work load to be small, but now that we're about halfway thru Autumn Quarter, I'm starting to realize that I shouldn't have slacked off so much at the beginning.

I really wasn't all that worried about my Math class...until this week when we have our first test.
I was somewhat worried about my Communications class, mostly because we have a few papers in there...but now I'm concerned about the midterm, even though it's multiple choice, if you don't know the terms, you're not going to be able to answer the questions.
And I wasn't worried about my Geology class, until I took the first midterm and I didn't ace it like I thought I would...but I'm still not that worried about it because we get to drop the lowest midterm grade.

Anyways. Last night, I was laying in "bed" (aka: the futon mattress I'm forced to sleep on because my aunt just WON'T leave!) and I had a cramp in my side (at least, that's what it felt like), so I figured that I could just roll over and take the pressure off of that side and it would go away. No such luck...the pain still persisted. I'm pretty sure it's connected somehow to my stress, but I'm not a doctor or anything, so I don't know how.

I know I should be studying instead of hanging with Jake, or watching TV, or working on crocheting projects, or the tie-blanket project that I just finished, but I can't study and be a good student and read all the time...I just can't do it. I just feel like I'm not really taking college seriously, and I know I should be, and I feel bad...hopefully I'll do better next quarter...*shrugs*
