Overwhelmed to the Point of Feeling Ill

Post Reply New Topic

I am currently taking four classes, and a fifth one will start on the twelfth. The fifth will be a semester's worth of work in half the time, on top of my four other classes. Without all these classes, I am less than full time.

While I've always been full time, I've never put a lot of effort into actually studying, and now my G.P.A. is crap. This semester, I have days I study so much that having anything school related in my field of vision makes me nauseous, or otherwise physically ill- and my fifth class hasn't even started yet! I absolutely detest studying, but I need hours of it to pass my classes. I have no idea how I'm going to handle my disdain for studying or stress for the next two months.

On top of that, I'm looking to move as soon as the semester's over, register for a work program, take a summer class, and get a bike for transportation. Next fall, I plan on only taking three classes and working part time, but I have no idea how I'm going to handle everything until then.

I am a big believer in pre-studying and trying to run one class ahead.

Okay, one method is to experiment with different methods of skimming and also paying attention to what are your up energy periods. And two options:

1) Call an audible and don't take this fifth class now, or

2) skim in prep of the fifth class, and then if you get into the swing of it go ahead and take it.
