Question Posted Saturday November 20 2004, 1:00 pm
Hey. WeLL, I have a lot of stress on me right now. I have a math project and a book report to due, and I only have 3 more days tp finish including today. The book report is not only writing the book report, but you have to make a cover for it, reading notes, web organizers, etc. And in the math project you have to make graphs, research, solve problems, etc. I really want to make staright A's this quarter, and I think that if I don't complete these 2 assignments that it will bring my grade down, and everytime I think of that I have emotional breakdowns where I keep on crying, and I can;t control it becuse I keep on thinking negative without thinking positive like I should be doing. Can anyone help me get through this on a positive note. I'd really appreciate it.

I'd rather have it late by a few days than do it crappy by the date it's due and get a 50%. The worst thing you can do is just not do either at all. If you've known about the projects for a while and are just now doing them, remember next time to not procrastinate. Start the day they're assigned and break the work up evenly day by day the next time you have one, so you aren't having an emotional breakdown like now.

As you only have three days to get through a lot of work, you will have to put a lot of time and effort into it, but you CAN get it done if you really work. Plan your work into blocks that you can manage (no more than about an hour or you'll lose concentration) take regular short breaks to take your mind off of the work, and drink lots of water. Above all, try to think positively - don't think of the consequences of everything going wrong and not getting things done - think of what a great grade you'll get when everything is finished!
Hope you get everything done :-)! [ ceece's advice column | Ask ceece A Question ]
