I wish I could.

I'm failing at everything that I could possibly be failing in right now, and I'm scared of what will come next.

• I forgot to submit my JOUR199 midterm report and timesheets last Friday. I just plain forgot that I even had to do this, while I was just looking forward so much to the weekend and hanging out with my friends, and even the possibility of

I'm doing okay right now as far as school goes, but, like you, my biggest problem is my major class. And I have so much to worry about with transferring, like...getting in. Haha. But after that, I found out I may have to retake ENGL101 and personally, that is not something I want to do when I'm already 2 classes ahead of that here. UMD better be worth all the shit they're putting me through right now.

I'm sorry that things aren't going well for you right now. I'm sure they'll get better though.

Speak to an advisor and the professor to see what can be done. You need to show them you are well intentioned and show if you drop the course, you have to drop basically everything. You need to show them you want to be a student and explain this was a forgetful moment, an eyeopener, but need their help and counsel to forgive you for this egregarious error. I'm sure they dont read the report the absolute next day. Deadlines are important, but they cant just shoot you off because you are a few hours late. You need to show you are not just a student, but a critical member of other groups trying to make a difference, and only slipped the mind for you have too many preoccupations running in your mind. Good luck in your ordeal and I can only hope for the best for you.

To make things even worse, I never know who I can talk to about everything, not because any of you did anything wrong or that I don't trust any of you. At every moment that I panic, I always figure that I'm being too dramatic or pessimistic about everything going around me. But when everything starts to hurt this badly, when every day is just a reminder that I can't seem to do anything right, then... what do I do? I have to stop putting my roommate through this silent treatment I always give when I'm trying not to show her my weakness, and I need to stop telling my parents that everything is under control.

If you ever need me I'm totally here. I do that all the time--all of it. I never want anyone to know how I REALLY feel so I dump 35% of it into LJ and walk away, not saying anything to my roommate, and basically scaring her.
I don't know ANYTHING about the UMD policy, but maybe you can take the courses over if you do fail? I know it's the last thing you want to do (because it's always the last thing anyone wants to do) and it

I think you can re-take courses if you fail them, but not like many times over.

If you need someone to listen, you know how to reach me.

All the best with everything. When it rains it pours, so echoing the post above, failures now are not failures in life, they're simply the manifestation of the situation of the moment.

And I'll be at Concessions Thursday Night!

Tinatina.. you can always talk to me, you know that. We all go through times when we think nothing is going right. But you're insanely smart and ambitious. If you want something badly enough, I know you'll get it.. You might be able to debate your case somehow.. considering your academic performance etc?
