any other students struggling with finals and assignments?



Recommended Posts

Sorry, I wasn't sure what other forum to put this in... just wanted to share the angst with someone... anyone... I have a paper I am struggling to complete, and three finals to get through all in the next 6 days. I am finding it extra hard this term as my mind is really on my upcoming surgery in May. Anyway, anyone else in the same boat? It feels like I'm never going to get through this!!!

FYI I am a "mature" (lol) student going back for my third degree in Social Work... arrrgghhh these paper are killing me. I had 10 due this term!! good luck to any of you who are also at the "end point"!!!

YESS! I'm in a very similar boat. I take pretty vigorous classes and it's so hard to keep up with things when you are trying to focus on the band. I had my surgery at the end of February and for the whole month before that I was struggling to focus on my school work because I was only thinking about my upcoming surgery. It was the same for a little while after my surgery too! You just have to try your best to stay focused so that you can be successful with your finals and the band! Good luck!

thanks, Jesslynn... It's good to hear from someone who knows. I just decided that I wouldn't take any spring/summer classes even if it means a bit more work in September - so I can focus a bit more on life with the band. I hope you are planning a bit of a break from classes over the summer too. Even work I find you can go, do your job and leave it there when you go home, but with classes the worry/mindset is always with you no matter what!! :wacko: Good luck to you as well :) hope things are going well!

Yes,I am a "mature" student as well. I've just started though. My surgery is in May, and I can't imagine going to school and dealing with the band at the same time, in the beginning anyway. I'm having a hard enough time waiting on my surgery and going to school right now with finals and all, it has been affecting me. I could have had my surgery during spring break, but I decided that wasn't enough time off. I'm going to take summer one off so I'll have a month or so till I have to go back. I hope that will be enough time to adjust. Good luck with everything.

Stepto4, I know exactly what you mean! My focus has been very "off". I'm slogging through a take home final today, then have one on Monday, one more on Tuesday, then I'm done. I won't have to do any more course work until September. I think you made the right decision not having the surgery at spring break - now you will have a bit more time to adjust. My surgery is in May as well - you should come and join us on the May forums :)

Wishing you all the best in your finals... hang in there!

I'm not much of a computer wiz. I'll try to figure out how to find the May forums and meet you there. I'm still trying to figure out how to add friends :wacko:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
