How do normal students do it?

I keep on having more, and more obligations adding to my schedule. I’m taking only 2 courses, and I barely have time to eat. Some students have 4 classes, and they work. How do they do it? Just one medical appointment was enough to delay my day, and have me arrive at home literally at bed time.

I’m aware I sleep more than most, and that I need lots of time to complete my tasks. I’m simply astonished by the level of efficiency of others. It sucks that I feel like I’m back to my childhood situation where as was the last one to finish any exercises while not getting good grades. So far no grades have comes in, and I think I’ll perform better than when I was a child, but still, it’s discouraging. I spend 3 if not 4 times more efforts in studying, but my grades when it comes to math are ordinary. It realy sucks…

Giving up is no option. I want to learn algebra, I want to kickass doing chemistry equations, and I want to perform well in microbiology. Those are big goals, and I just hope my body can handle this level of intensity. The math aide sessions are helping tremendously, but I can also see how slow I am. I hope just like last semester that I one point I will catch up. I hope…

Gratitude Journal:

I’m grateful for the inspiration my classmates give me.
