Pre-Grad stress!

This is one of those blahhh blogs where I need to vent for my frustration. It is not entertaining, unless you enjoy people being depressed. Read on, if you are experiencing the same.. as I am sure many of you are.

It's almost the end of school. We have around two weeks left. My driving test is next week, just around the corner. I have four tests, three assignments and a final submission of an 80% essay for my Independent Study Project plus two final exams, all before the end of April.

Today, I enrolled for the Summer Session and I tried to limit my transportation at UTM in the summer by taking all courses on the same days. I know it is gonna be tooooo hectic but I would rather enjoy the rest of the five days as opposed to coming to school everyday. Hence, I took three courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays with intervals in between. My first class is from 10:00 am to noon. Then, I get an hour of lunch break, and the second class follows at 1:00 pm till 3:00 pm. And then, I get a three hour break (to finish assignments, or study for a test that follows, OR just Blogger/Facebook lol). And my last class is from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Yes, I know it's hectic. I would have to leave my house at 8:00 am and come home after 13 hours. But that's okay, because I gotta manage Humber as well. I have one last course to go before I graduate at Humber as well, and I am going to take Real Estate Law as my last elective course which runs on Monday and Wednesday 6:30 to 9:30 pm. So, in a way I do have school four days but at Humber, evening classes are chilling, they let you go in about two hours, which is good.

All the 'I am graduating, what's next?' sessions are full at UTM. And I have to go for a Resume critique next Wednesday. And probably a cover letter critique on Tuesday, as you are allowed one document per sitting. I also wanna ask for tips when applying to graduate school, i.e. the letter of intent. There is also a session for summer job hunting as well, which I gotta attend. All the other sessions are full :( now that everyone realizes they are graduating.

I still have to go for my grad photos, April 12th. And I need to hire a math tutor, because I am literally failing my Stats course. It's not funny. I cried after my test yesterday. I've never felt so dumb in my life. I have always had a hate relationship with math since high school. Not a surprise that I failed grade 10 math, re-took it in summer school and ended up taking grade 11 college math, when all my other courses were University. And in grade 12, I took NO math, because it was optional. Specialist in Crime, Law and Deviance requires you to have a grade 12 Advanced Functions course, which I didn't.. and I don't know how I got admission without it. But oh well.. I just need a passing grade in this class.. for Pete's sake, a 50 would do. But I doubt I'd even get that! YES, I don't get math at ALL. I've been pretty stressed about it since yesterday. I attempted like 20 out of 100 marks on the test yesterday, and it was worth 30% of my final grade. I have emailed the prof to see what could be done. Any suggestions, people? Do profs give out extra credit if you are at a risk of failing? Or do they just not care? Should I go see counselling facilities?
