Can't..do..it..anymore!

I CAN'T study any more. I have been pushed to my limit.
Monday is finally my last exam, worth 50% of my mark... I've already written four and my head is going to EXPLODE!
About 2 and 1/2 months ago I got a concussion and the headaches haven't gone away and have actually gotten worse because of the amount of reading/studying i have been doing - my eyes are really sensitive now and so reading/paying attention to things for too long (computer, TV, etc) really aggravates it.
And yes.. went to the dr's.. apparently this is still in the "normal" range. Nothing I can do... just needed to vent because the life of a University student isn't all fun and games!
I feel like crying.
boo school.

Jacq,
You are totally stressed,
and you are GOING TO MAKE IT!!!

I know cuz, I got through it when I was totally stressed out
with a husband, a child, two step children, two dogs
a house etc....
and I didn't think I could do it all, and yet....I did!

And you will tooo....
Keep coming here and talking it out.
We're here for you.
We'll talk you through it.

Peace!

Okay Miss (((((((((((Jacq)))))))))))))))

How well are you doing in this class? If you're doing well enough, at the very least if you don't bomb the final, you should still pass the class. Perhaps you can apply for an academic deferral due to medical/psychological reasons?
Take it easy on yourself. Sleep tonight. No cramming, that will just make the headache worse.

((((((((((dear friend)))))))))
Your message almost made me cry ..... You are just the nicest person/friend.
I am going ok in this class... though this exam will certainly determine the outcome! I can't afford to do bad in this (or any of my classes) because I want to go to grad school etc etc... so I know I am just putting more pressure on myself.
No academic considerations.... I could have gotten them for medical reasons, but there would be no use really. I hope to be able to sleep tonight... so fingers crossed!
Thanks again..
xoxox

wooohoooo I am DONE!
I made it out aliveeeeee

Thanks for the support guys

You DO know that if you want to get into grad school, that it generally only looks at your overall GPA or your top marks in applicable classes, right??

You can always redo classes you've done poorly in...

((((((((((Jacq))))))))))))) Glad you're done! YAY!

Concussions can have a lot of long term consequences. I got a softball to the face in high school and it changed a LOT about me - my personality, my ability to focus. My cognition was down and it was all just kind of blah.

Be gentle with yourself. You are doing amazing just sticking with it. University is hard enough just being university - add a concussion to it... and well - that'd give any one a headache just thinking about it.

Glad to hear you did well on exams ;D

It depends significantly on what graduate school one is applying to, what field one is applying to, and whether one hopes to obtain a funded place or not.
