Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 252 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.

Stress
I couldn't really think of what to put on the blog this week, so I decided this being a blog I'll just say how I'm dealing with midterms this week. The thing with me and school is that I have to multi task between school, work, homework and a social life. The life where sleep is for the weak. Throughout the semester I believe that my calculus class and this theater course have taken the biggest tole on me with the work load. I found that whatever spear time I had or have goes towards those two class. Calculus being the amount I have to study for in class exams and quizzes. While this theater course I had to do a rewrite, second essay, 2 blog entry's and read up to chapter 25 in the next book. Even when I time mange these things I still find myself running out of time. To basically sum all this up this past week has taken the biggest tole on me mentally and physically.

I can agree with Vijay 100%. School has just been an extra stress factor in my life. Even though I only go to school for two days a week, I also work another 2 days a week while I have another 3 days off that usually consist of doing homework, maintaining my social life as well as my clothing brand. I am in the process of creating a clothing brand and it's not as easy as it looks. It's not like you get an image paste it on a shirt for $2 and then sell for $30 no. There are lots of paper work, research, planning and doing things such as making a website or business cards that I must do. So balancing a real business, school, work, a girlfriend and social life is very hard. But I have to pull through and get what I need done so it will all be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteThis blog post is definitely something that all of us can relate too. It sucks because right now we are stuck between leaving/entering different phases of our lives. I have to admit that balancing work and school really is no joke, especially because theres no promise of a job after graduation, especially with a humanities degree; its actually a little discouraging. I just try constantly remind myself that I shouldn't be in school to get a job but to become more knowledgable. I want to excel in my field, so thats what I am trying to do. I am trying to introduce myself to as much as I can grasp in my college career and pick the professors brains as much as I can. I just hope that this is as rewarding as its suppose to be in the long run. I want my degree so badly, but I guess undergoing stress is all about becoming a grown up right? It's scary actually. I try to make this my #1 priority but trying to fit so much on my plate seems a little hard to balance sometimes. If anyone needs any help with any of the material I can try to help to the best of my knowledge. Wishing everyone a great semester, and lets try to make it count as we're getting closer to finals.
