another set back

For the past week I have been doing really well emotionally. Today I had a set back, and Iam not sure why. It started out as a good day. I registered at the dissability center at my unvirsity to get extra time for exams. Then getting back home I checked my e-mail and recieved a message from my proffessor who told me I had an "F" on my research paper and I needed to re due the whole thing. For some reason it really upset me. I cried and cried. Its is a stupid paper, my proffessor is going to give me a second change on it, why did it upset me so much? Now I am back to my sad self, depressed and dis-connected from the world. How can such a small problem destroy me? Is there any way I can control this?

I am reading your post asking myself "Why NOT be so upset?"Geez, hun... I would be bawling my eyes out too...no matter how much time you spent on it, you did put something into it and you wanted something back for it....

Thats kinda like doing a 8 hour shift and not getting paid but instead you are told to go back and redo it....

I'm sorry this happened to you...and once you have had a good cry over it I think you should look on the bright side and see that at least he is going to give you a few clues as to why you made an F and you will be able to make good use of your second chance.

Its okay to feel let down sweetie... just don't let it ruin your good mood for very long...

Good Luck with the next paper!

i'd be upset. but you do get another chance on it and that's a rare thing in this life of ours. good luck, love, pat
