Tough times
Everything is slowly starting to get to me. School is becoming overbearing, I don't get it. I feel like i'm doing so well and when I check on my grades I am barley doing avereage. This is not acceptable to me. I am not a book smart person, but I do apply myself and normaly do what ever it takes to suceed and do well. I am finding this is not aplicable with half the classes I am taking and am very disappointed in myself and the overal institution. Things that add to the pressure are I own and run my own construction company and am in the process of shutting it down. Not an easy thing to do. I still work over 50 hours a week on top of a full time school schedual. I continue to take on large jobs to make contractors and investors happy and am struggling to turn oppertunities and money down for school. I am suppose to be doing less at work and am finding myself doing more. I also maintain four rental units that consantly need attention. I am even remodeling the entire house that I currently live in. I need to finish this so I can get it in a condition to rent this out. I am almost thirty and am going to be out of a job soon and living with my folks. Times are tough for me.

It sounds like you need to slow down a bit and do 2 things at a time instead of all of them. Ask for help. Whether it is school or work. It sounds like you need it. You would be surprised to see how well things can come together when you communicate with people to help you. If you need to put school aside for a couple of months to get all that other stuff done, that might be better for you. I tried working full time and school full time 20 years ago and I coundnt do it. I had to realize I had to spend a lot more time with my school work to do well. You seem like a nice guy and I think people will pull through for you if you just take the time to let them know what you need. Good luck! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a hell of a lot on your plate at one time!!! I'm currently NOT working...or doing anything else other than maintaining a household of six(wife and four kids)...and I can barely manage! I don't know how you do it man! Hang in there...the first semester is almost over. Then you can decide what exactly you need to do next...plus you'll have a month off!
