Help Me!

[Phoenix Wolf offline]

Hey Guys, its been a while since I ranted here, but I am going through a really rough time in school. I am a Rec Major and in order for me to be able to go into my Professional Semester I have to do thirty five hours of Programming and fifteen hours of community service. Well I have been hearing stories from other people that she has been buchering hours and cutting them down, I am terrifide that she will do it to my hours and that I won't be able to go into block semester. I have been so worried lately that I have been sick to my stomach and I can hardly keep anything down, so I have not been eating much. But what makes me feel even worse is that my parents are the ones paying for college and I really don't want to let them down. So the stress is really getting to me, and I am trying to eat but I am not hungry and I can hardly keep anything down when I do. Please keep me in your prayers, and pray that she accepts my hours. Also any advice you can give me I would appreciate it very much. :wahh::wahh::wahh:

First, I know it's hard, but don't worry. You can't do anything until it happens, and the stress is just going to eat you and make you worse. Try drawing or doing something creative to distract and calm yourself down. Get that anxiety out! One thing that might help the stress is to just SCREAM. Though if you don't want to look or sound goofy, go somewhere like a bathroom and do a silent scream.

Second, if your worries are true and she (BTW, who is she?) does cut your hours, explain how you need those hours and be prepared to listen (she may have a real reason for doing so). The majority of people will try to work with you. If she doesn't listen, go elsewhere. Talk to a counselor or someone related to the Major and they might be able to help.

If no matter what you tried and it still doesn't work, remember that you did everything you could and don't beat yourself up over it.

Well the only thing I can give you in comparison to that well thought out and desicive advice is a simple I'll-pray-for-you, but, I'll pray for you.

Well, it's like my sister's most impotant line in the Christmas play: "When your at your lowest place, you'll find Jesus. When you find him, worship him."

Something that has always helped me is breaking the situation down into parts and focusing on one part at a time, 35 hrs could equal 1 hr a day for 35 days, or 1.5 hrs for about 24 days. The quarter just started so this should be possible, right?

You're all right, BillyGirl... I wish I could have gotten here sooner to help.

Glad you got it all done. Live long and prosper, my friend.
