Fear the Crab

The homework I’m getting is starting to feel a little overwhelming, especially the programming assignments. It feels like I’m in way over my head, and it stresses me out. Even the math sometimes gets to me. It’s almost like I’m the only one that can’t seem to get things going the way they’re supposed to, and there doesn’t seem to be any light at the end of this tunnel.

I probably get like this because I can’t do any of my work while I’m at work, and when I get home I can’t spend too much time on it because I have to sleep in order to get to work on time. The only opportunities I have to tackle these assignments is on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before class starts, pretty much only three days. And I can only get help from the TA on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I hate having to do all that work in only a few days, as it goes against my philosophy of trying to get things done as soon as possible. It’s very difficult.

I wish I could just take a vacation from work, just so I can concentrate on my studies. I really envy those who don’t have to work while going to school.
