I can't sleep.

No matter how hard I try. I have a lot on my mind these days. I have tough classes this semester, and I know my grades are slipping. It seems harder than ever to keep focused on schoolwork, and thoughts of failure keep crossing my mind. It's scaring the crap out of me, to tell you the truth.

1. Want me to sing you a lullaby?

2. I'd rather have the will to press on with my work.

All I know is that these next few weeks are going to be rough.

3. Sending you good vibes

for more healthy balance, JC. Sorry you're going through this. :hug:

4. I just don't know what's wrong...

It seems that I've lost the will to keep working. I seem to be procrastinating a whole lot more these days. It's hurting me. I have an instructional video project due Thursday that has to be ready to present to a professional audience. While capturing footage, I'm noticing that I really did a half-assed job on this project, and I'm going to suffer for it.

5. I had the same thing happen...

My conclusion.. School is never ending (a project/paper is always due).. Something always needs to be done. You don't get a real weekend. I dropped out and got a shitty job in a factory. After a couple months I was back in school and willing to do what it would take to never work in a factory ever again.

* a note - I dropped out again and spent a few years figuring things out. I went back and will be done with my B.A soon. I am drunk right now, grain of salt..

Good Luck.

6. I'll be done with my BA soon, too.

Although, I'm capping off my University career with an Internship in London hopefully. I've just gotta finish the paperwork and such. That's why I'm getting worried about my performance. If my class work is utter rubbish, no one in my field will want to hire me on.

7. You're not going to fail, I promise.

If you belong to DU, you have to be one of the brightest. I made it through college and, as I realize now, I didn't try very hard. But I did well. And you will, too. Just calm down and relax. I also had insomnia while in school, especially when facing exams. This isn't unusual. I made it and I'm still here, and I graduated in 1975.:-)
