Lots of stress from school.

Post Reply New Topic

These last couple of weeks have been SO stressful.
I have to write a two page satire (not good at that style of writing...it oozes sarcasm), an essay on aspergers (it has to be a page long, and cover a lot of information. SO hard because it's so short!), and I have a 10 page research paper to write.
Then I have to make a poster about the effects of marijuana, which I may have to present, and I have to do something creative regarding aspergers....AND present it .
And my tutor and I havent been able to meet the last week as well as this week, so I dont know what to do with all the math homework I'm getting. He gives us a LOT. All all this is coming together and just being super stressful. Then I have a documentary I have to make and present to coming up at the end of the semester, and I also have a 20 minute presentation about a artist at the end of the year. as well as other projects I will have to present and stuff. Its all making me so sick. I actually am physically sick most of the time because I'm so nervous and depressed about it.
Why do they have to do this to us? Actually, why do I have to have social phobia? I would love all of these (except for math) if I wasn't scared. .

That's a lot! What kind of school is this?

Private overseas christian school.
Usually we don't get this much.

Are there any other Aspies there ?

Material for artist shouldn't be too hard. There are many interesting artists to sustain the dialogue.
Get in there first and choose one. Van Gogh is a classic for this kind of presentation.

Did you know the oldest woman in France ( think she was 112) actually met him when she was a young woman. She worked in a shop and he used to buy wine, he was usually in very bad mood and a bit smelly..... Van G is known to have swapped at least two paintings for wine etc.

Awwww, I know how you feel sometimes and yet that is alot of work but the filming for me would be a great opportunity to enjoy yourself filming and making a documentary.

I remember at college being told to think the opposite... i.e 'think the opposite of a negative feeling' I tried that and some of it actually does work out well, when you do the project, hopefully it should go well for you.

I get so painfully...in pain during presentations. It lingers weeks before, unbearably during, and days after.

All of the studio arts majors i've talked to at this college are about to go mad with stress. we're thinking about implementing a meeting every week called Studio Art Majors Anonymous
"Hi, my name is Bob and I hurt an innocent animal while trying to finish a project at the last minute because my other art teacher gave me a humongous assignment that i had to spend more time even though the latest assignment was more important...i got a c on it. I'm only standing here because of Red Bull."
"Hiiii, Bob"
I'm now only taking three classes because the stress was just so bad.

Was the earthquake anywhere near you Spazzergasm?

Nah, very far away really.

Sorry, not trying to be nosey. I just saw the word "Turkey" in the news and thought of Spazzer

You're not being nosy.
Yes, I'm in ISTAN-BULL. It was like, on the other side of Turkey.
