I just have to give a big THANKS to one of my professors (who I thought hated me), for making my day brighter and less stressful. I have classes with her every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. Sorry to say it, but it has been one of my hardest classes this semester, and, yet, it is one of the most-needed core classes for my major. I can’t say that I’ve been too good as to turning assignments in on time, but I try. Honestly, I do. Anyways, I’ve been really, really stressed these past few weeks. I can’t seem to give equal time to each of my six classes. Therefore, that means that in one or two of my classes, I’m lacking the strength and ability to finish the necessary assignments that are due. That sounds like such a horrible excuse, but reallyI truly feel this way.Tuesday was not a good day for me. Besides looking like I was on crack, I arrived to my classes tired as usual but in hopes of trying to finish and make up some of the work that I thought I would never get to. However, the thought of me finishing my homework assignments quickly diminished as I received more homework from my first class.I opened my book of “To Do Todays” and realized that I was in over my head. I truly felt like hiring someone to do my work for me. It wasn’t until after I got into “my other class” that I felt a power surge swipe through me. I quickly opened my book, and went ahead and did most of my make-up work, and at the end of class, I stood at the teacher’s podium with a smile on my face thinking I had actually accomplished something great. WHATEVER!!! That’s a big lie, I still have like 50-ma-jillion other assignments to do. But, I handed my work in, and then she spoke. It was like 20 angels singing praise of my little accomplishment. She asked how I was doing and explained that she hadn’t seen me around and wanted to know if I was getting through things.My facial expressions couldn’t have been good, because it almost looked like she felt sorry for me, based on my sappy answer, puppy dog eyes and shrugged shoulders. The moral to this story is, I’m glad that we have professors that really do care about their students. It makes me, if not others, think that I really can do what I want in life. Ms. Z. sure did make my Tuesday, and I happily thank her with all my heart. She should be happy to know that I should have all of my assignments turned in today, if not by Friday afternoon. Thanks!
