scatterframed Every year, I start my school and I have to have a little panic attack about whether or not I can do it, to the point that it's now kind of a boring panic attack that I don't take too seriously. This year, though, I'm starting at my transfer and I'm dealing with a whole new set of applications and processes, and nothing has been going smoothly, and let me tell you what does not help my boring little panic attack go away.
One class is an American lit class, which I expected to be kind of dense and dry, that's fine. The entire module is already posted and I can work ahead as I need to.
One is a rhetorical writing class that I very much have taken the equivalent of, but it isn't considered a transfer equivalent, so I'm in for ten weeks of annoying work I've already mostly done. I haven't gotten my textbook yet, but I'm really not paying $140 for it unless the internet fails me.
My Spanish class is the thing I'm taking most seriously, and I haven't been able to access the class OR the textbook yet. I'm really nervous about it because I haven't kept up on my immersion since I finished the 200 level last year (my own fault, ADHDer can't maintain own structure, more at 11). I know I'm going to be fine, because this happened between the 100 and 200 level too, I took the summer off and didn't keep up and had some ramp up time. It's fine. But the inability to access anything I need isn't helping the brain demons.
I did some work this morning and I think taking the time to write out this post was helpful. I also followed my wife's advice and looked up some pomodoro timers for my phone, I found a cute one with a kitty that I'm going to try once I'm done with the work thing I need to do.
