Stress

So I'm kind of overdue for my end-of-the-semester mental breakdown...

Unfortunately it almost happened during my O-Chem final today. I literally got the paper and stared at it and all of a sudden my head started hurting (like not headache hurting... just kind of like your entire skull turned into one giant bruise) and I stared at the paper and was legitimately about to start crying for no apparent reason (other than O-Chem of course).

This semester's been hell... like god-awful... I'm actually thinking of re-taking one of my classes because of the grade I got this time around o.o

Basically I spent most of my time studying for Anatomy/Physiology and Organic Chemistry (why the hell did I decide to take those two classes together in the same semester is beyond me) and grading papers and working... I legitimately had a seven-day week with no rest so I kind of burnt out on one of my classes. I know at this point it just sounds like excuses but my sanity is so frazzled right now I can't even joke about it anymore.

Not sure if I'm going to keep up with this job for the coming fall semester. I love teaching and I love my students but at the same time, all the papers that I have to grade on top of my own work just doesn't seem worth it. (also, dealing with the Asian parents... and I'm not talking about mine)

I might be getting another job soon too... one that doesn't involve doing more work when I come home, which would be nice...

Debating on whether or not to keep going with taking O-Chem II over summer at the same time as A/P II... ugh this is going to be awful...
