I've been having a very tough semester in school. While I am normally a very good student, this past semester I have been doing very poorly -- so much so that there is a good chance I will not be able to continue on the career path that I wanted. Regardless of how much I study this semester I keep doing poorly, and as someone who handles stress very poorly, I can honestly say that I've had multiple breakdowns and tried to get help. Last week, I went home for the first time since I had left in September. While it was nice to see my family, I didn't do any work - which was terrible because I had to come back to three projects, 2 quizzes, and an exam -- followed quickly by final exams. The night before my exam, I thought all hope was lost. I was so stressed and confused and upset that I couldn't even focus enough to remember the smallest amount of material. Now my prayer life has been somewhat lacking in these past few years since I started grad school, mainly because I'm so tired I just fall asleep at night. In any case, that night I prayed. I asked for forgiveness for losing my way. And while it wasn't like I automatically was able to read and understand everything, I felt calmer, like someone was comforting me. I needed support, and I felt like I was fortunate to receive it. |
