This class sucks

I spent the afternoon going over my Anthro stuff and it is killing me. This is I think one of the “you need a teacher’s perspective” in order to pass the class. I tried answering a few of the questions and omg it was painstaking. I still, even after re-reading the articles, couldn’t answer the questions. I am done. No one has posted their answers and it doesn’t look like a discussion has opened to add answers either. I read one of the discussion questions about exams for this class and it is going to be a combo of multiple choice, true/false, and short essay questions.  I am screwed.

I have been having mid back spasms the last couple of hours. I tried laying down and moving but nothing has helped. I don’t want to take an Ativan as that will make me sleepy. I will be taking my meds soon so maybe I will take it with it.

I had my neuro appointment today and she is pleased my headaches have improved. She said that it might take a couple of doses to work. I took my fourth dose today. I got the script after the appointment.

I was up during the night again. I read for a while. It took a while to get back to sleep. Then when my alarm went off, I didn’t want to get up. I managed a shower after my neuro appointment. I shaved and trimmed my beard. I am glad no one was home because I didn’t bring a change of clothes down. I just wrapped the towel around me and went up to my room.

I am feeling depressed. It is that time of day where I feel it most. I don’t know if it is because it is night time or what. The good news is that I haven’t been suicidal. I will take the depression. I am kind of stressed out over class. This has to be the worse class I have taken and it is my first online class.

Long commute home

I had to go to class today and I went a different route. I left early in case the trains were slow and they were but I still got to campus with an hour to kill before class. We had a quiz today. I think I did ok on it. There were some questions I had to guess. I met another student in my class and we exchanged numbers today as we have an exam next week. I am invested in the classes I have taken. Financial aid sent me a message saying they adjusted my aid. Now I owe nearly $3000. Fuck. I can’t withdraw because the deadline has passed. This sucks.

I decided to take the train to where the shuttle buses were and go to the grocery store at one of the stops. It was an extra half hour commute. I didn’t get home till after 5 and I was starving. I was able to get Starbucks but I didn’t get anything to eat. I made a PB&J when I came home. Now I am trying to stay up at least till 7pm so I can talk to my cousin. My sisters went to the casino for the next couple of days. I was supposed to go but I didn’t realize my sister booked a room for today. We were supposed to go to a concert tomorrow night and I thought we were leaving tomorrow but she made plans for today and there was no way I could do that with class and a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow I have to do the Anthro questions the professor sent us last night. It’s probably going to take me all day to do. I have to read one of the articles again because I forgot what it was about. This article is somewhat difficult to read and have the information sink in.

I am feeling anxious for some reason. I don’t know why. It just came on. I think I am overwhelmed and tired. I had another sandwich. My brother in law had cold cuts. I will be going to bed soon. I can’t stay up late anymore like I used to. Sometimes if I go to bed too early, I will wake up in the middle of the night and then I will read until I feel tired again. I had a long day so I should be able to sleep good tonight.
