stressed out major bad. I have agreed academic adjustments (AAA) cause my wrist is messd up - i normaly dont stress about exams, but i really didntget the stuff fo this. Eailed my tutor last week and he was useless. said what i didnt know nowi wouldnt know and that he couldnt help me Went in to the exam completley stressed, couldn makeany senseof anyof the questions. sat staring at the screen for an hour, asked to go on a respite break and ended up crying on the person who came out with me. Refused to lt her cll the person incharge of the AAA stuff, went back in. Cried some more, before ripping up the question paper. sat there for another houran a half, finally wrote down some stuff that had nothing to do with the exam ad gave up. the only reaons i wrote anything was because i couldnt print out nothing with being on a computer.
sisnt help that my wrist is kiling me and painkillers wernt helping at all and my splints are all at home.
normally im in and out of exams in half the allotted time, and this took over the allotted time, and i dont know hat to do now cause i needed to pass this stupid module. *sigh*

I was meant to get up early and go to the library but have decided to go later. Hopefully not too much later. Am now revising Freud which is quite interesting. And I know Freud fairly well so it's actually revision rather than learning stuff for the first time. The other half of my exam on Monday is about different types of psychotherapy so I can compare humanistic approaches (which I learnt for yesterday) with another one. Quite nice that I don't have much to revise for Monday but have looked at how much I need to learn for Wednesday and I don't think I can do it. Wednesday is Thinking and Language which I'm not interested in so didn't pay attention so don't understand. And I've already messed up one exam, I can't afford to mess up another as well. Sigh. 6 days till it's over.

OK, so this isn't related to exams but my dissertation. Stupid departments and offices not getting back to me! Argh! Earlier in the year it would take a day or two at most, but more than a week is just taking the piss. I'm going to have to phone them, and then explain who I am and then ask them if they can get me stuff and do stuff for me like they said they could. Grrrrr.
oh do not get me started on emails, meetings and departments lack of communications and dont remind me about dissertations... got some stupid (hopefully helpful) workshops after exams which means im stuck here another 2 weeks after exams *sigh*
shoot for the moon... if you fail you'll land amongst the stars.
*hugs Drampty* i hope stuff ends up working out for you and you can pass
Been about 2 weeks since i've been here. Been frustrated with school, and then my wife and I was given 2 days to move into a place half the space, so most of our stuff is in storage and were in a squeeze. and when i went to register for classes for the summer, they put a hold on my records because i havent taken the graduate writing test (i have 2 years before i graduate) So after a bunch of phone calls, signing up for it in july and paying the $18 they lifted the hold.. except it took a day for the computers to realize it'd been lifted. So i missed out being in half my classes for the summer, further pushing back when i can graduate. And my midterm for one of my engineering classes, that is worth 30% of my final grade, when i got to the last question (there were only 3) i was totally confused. it was asking for something not covered in the homework or the lectures. I finally gimped through an answer and ended up with barely a C on the test (70%) but the class average was 34%. luckily i found out the teacher will curve the class. Sometimes i wonder if all this crap is worth it. 4 years ago i was making $55K/year as a factory worker without a degree. Engineers usually start at around $60K But i would probably have been layed off by now with the economy dropping off and my skill training was with machines that most factories dont use.
