major reality check

It’s day 1 of classes and I already feel like I’m drowning. I have no idea why I am feeling so overwhelmed but all I can do is cry. I just want to go home. I miss my friends and family more than ever and it’s killing me. Since I got back to Harrisonburg on Saturday evening, all I have done is cry. Ask Barrett if you don’t believe me. I’m sure he is getting just as sick of it as I am. I know I am being very real and open about this so I’m sorry if it freaks yall out. I just needed to get this out. Thank you for being so understanding and accepting :)
       I had my first class of the semester this morning at 8am and I already have an 8-page paper due in less than a month. The paper is so extensive that I don’t even know where to start (this is my main reason for crying). I don’t know any of the information for my paper because it’s all about the geography and sociology of my parents, their parents, their parents, etc. My parents are so wonderful and asked me to send them the guidelines so they can start writing down different aspects of their lives and their parents lives that I need for this stupid paper.
       Not sure how it happened, but I only have 1 class on Mondays and Wednesdays and it’s an 8am. Tomorrow I have math and macroeconomics. I am scared out of my mind for macro. Everyone I have talked to says I am going to seriously struggle in this class. Thanks for the positive encouragement, yall…I only hear horrible things about econ classes in general and I am totally freaking out. I have econ on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30-1:45, so if yall could carve out that little time slot to pray for me, I would REALLY appreciate it.
       A bunch of you have be asking me to post about the holidays and I sincerely apologize that I haven’t posted about it yet. I got my tonsils out and just laid around the house all of break and never really got on my computer. I will be working on a post about the holidays for the next few days.
  
Thanks for you prayers, I could really use them right now.
love yall :)

  3. Hi my little groundhog friend!! I promise to pray for you!! Like I would say to my girlies (who survived college), "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." (Not that anyone would want to eat an elephant...but so the saying goes.) You can do it. Take it day by day, step by step. Big hugs to you from NC!!

  4. Hang in there LQ. We miss you too! I got through Macro, so it can't be all THAT hard. I didn't even pass by the skin of my teeth, got through it ok & so will you. Granted, I didn't get an "A", but finishing in the middle of the pack was good enough for me. But I digress - do better than me. Just sayin'...
