Tough week
I have had such a terrible week this last week of January. First off I have had this terrible cold that I have somehow come down with. This cold makes me feel like I am about to die my throat throbs with pain and so does my head. I got this cold on Wednesday I felt really bad waking up to go to my ten o’clock biology class I sat up in bed trying to get better it just wasn’t working so I just laid back down and came to the conclusion that I was not going to make it to biology today. I woke up at close to twelve because I had to go to math and English so I struggled there feeling like I have been hit by a truck. I went back to my room and slept for the whole day. I hated the fact that I had to do that because I could not get any work done because I had no strength. Even when I tried to regain some it just did not work. I tried eating; I tried sitting up, and drinking hot fluids. A whole day goes pass with me being immobile and ineligible to do work, it made me feel pretty behind but I really was not I have up to a week to complete most of my assignments. Besides me being under the weather I have also been stressing about my paper due for English this is really my first real college paper and I am so nervous because I want it to be perfect. I have also been stressing about my biology lab. I almost think I will always have to meet with my professor about it because the graduate student who teaches it is not very good at helping me understand it. I find that very weird because I understand what we are doing I just don’t understand why. All we are doing is taking bacteria and seeing if it reacts to an antibiotic ampicillain or is it resistant to it. I just do not understand why and it is very stressful doing something you do not understand and the teacher can’t even explain. Through it all my week has been stressful but I pray this prayer to give me strength; “ God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.” This has helped me through my horrible week.

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better by now! With all the stress, bad weather, and students being sick around you, it's definitely important to try to stay healthy at college! Don't stress out too much though - there's enough time for stress after college!
