Hi everyone!
The past two weeks have been absolutely and completely overwhelming and busy for me! IT STILL IS!
I thought I'd create a space for us to vent our frustrations, to unload our fatigues
and to voice our complaints
!
So, why are you feeling overwhelmed today?
"My warm hands have made the paper limp,
So that its feel reminds me of slept-in sheets: comfortable and safe"

Studying

With an angel face and a taste for suicidal.
Oh gee wow I have a feeling I'll be in this thread often!!
Right now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the realisation that I have a baby sister now. Also schoolwork, very overwhelming.
Same for me. Studies. Exams. But this time I am acting a bit differently. Have tried to get myself overwhelmed. Feel some kind of tension too, but no use. The good side is that I feel okay despite the fact my exams are all hovering over me and my preperation is not that great, and I don't bother to study much. For the growth of this indifference, my math exam today contributed a lot too. It went quite well despite my very little hard work, I just went through the basic concepts (would hopefully at least manage a B, and I am pretty satisfied at anything above 80 percent when it comes to mathematics). But this has got me even in more spirits....and the whole day I spent singing and doing stuff other than studying for the next exam.
Can anybody tell me how to feel over-whelmed? I kind of feel as if it's not me...just today in school on seeing me singing before the exam was all about, a class-fellow was looking at me as if I was some other Pensive....well yeah you can see tension reflecting my face before the exam is just about to begin usually but don't people ever change...Bah
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Hi Sprinks! A baby sis! Sweet news! Sure, it'll be challenging, but playing with her and hearing her little laughter will no doubt relieve some stress!Originally Posted by sprinks

Well, I'm graduating high school in two days...so I'm excited about that, as well as a bit overwhelmed. But I'm also stressed out because of my AP Exams...I've already taken my AP Lang, AP Lit, AP Government, AP Comparative Gov., but tomorrow is Macro and Micro Econ. Then I'll be done...so its a mixture of stress, irritation, and excitment. But hey, I can't complain too much since I'll be done with this mess in a few more days!
Yeah once I was over the initial shock it wasn't so bad, although it does take a little getting used to still, hearing new noises that I'm not used to hearing
I had a bit of an overwhelming experience again today, when I got taken into the office at school because one of the teachers is worried about me burning out again and getting sick from stress and putting too much pressure on myself etc etc. I've had the speech from parents and friends and other family before, but I've never had teachers talk to me about it 'til now and I was sitting there like "woooah this is weird"
^^ So Sprinks, you ARE planning on taking over the thread indeed
And it's kinda weird, she's afraid of the pressure you might put yourself under, so she takes you to the officeIsn't that stressing enough?

I didn't actually realise it at the time, that going to the office was stressful in itself, but you do have a good point!!
MAJOR OVERWHELMINGNESS today.... not sure that "overwhelmingness" is a real word but that's not the point
Anyhow, we got told today that we have about 2 weeks to decide our year 12 classes, which is something that could really influence the rest of our lives
One word: finals
I hear ya

I've got my first summer A level module on wednesday. And it's just hitting me that this time, there are no re-takes. And this will decide if I get into the University I want to go to!!!
And. Further Maths (the bane of my life) exams are rapidly approaching, it's our last week of school before study leave, and my teacher isn't coming in. She still has a load of past papers I've done that she either hasn't marked or hasn't given back... as if it's not bad enough we get stuck with the worst maths teacher in the school for A2 further maths, but she doesn't even bother turning up... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I think 1/3 of the people I knew in yr12 dropped out of/switched at least one class-so don't over-stress about picking the perfect combination.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
