Within the first five minutes of being there I regretted it. I got there about two minutes late so I had to sit in the very back row of one of the largest lecture halls at UMD. All of the lights in the lecture hall were turned off besides the one that was being projected on the screen. So right off of the bat I was struggling to see what
I feel miserable I don’t want to leave my house!” I have had two most miserable weeks of my life I was feeling very lethargic, I can’t do it anymore. “You actually think you’re going to die? You are going to get your ass out of that bed now! You are going to walk into that hospital and suck it up.” Christina was my best friend she is the strongest person I knew she is also very brusque and that’s what I loved most about her. “Okay, I’m up but I don’t have a good feeling about this.”I got ready and we went to the hospital.
I sat at my desk petrified by the announcement of the in-class essay, a three page rhetorical analysis. How was I supposed to write a rhetorical analysis when I had never written something that did not start with "My dear diary.." or "Once upon a time.."? I felt hopelessly lost. My entire life I had viewed that being homeschooled was a great advantage, in many ways it was, but now I needed some writing skills that I clearly lacked. I sat staring at the blank computer screen, scraping my brain for the right words.
Sleeping lately has been a struggle simply because I can’t turn my mind off. It’s always running and I’m lacking sleep because of it. This last year I’ve really became a thinker. I got this way by reading into conspiracy theories and religion. Conspiracy theories really do make you think.
Behavior Change Proposal Before I took this class, I had never noticed my healthy as well. I took three days to observing my daily habits that I realized I am a really bad health person. I get up late and sleeps late every day, and I always stay with my computer for all day except my class time. I am doing these things over and over so that make me become a coach potato. So far, as my behavior is really chaotic, I decided to change my behavior to maintain my health.
This has been one of the hardest most challenging math classes I have ever taken. Some of the math was not easy for me which required me to spend hours on the My Math Lab doing practice problems, re taking quizzes, and reading back through the chapters until I finally understood the materials. There were a few times I had to google the type of problem I was working on and look at different websites to find different explanations to see if it made more sense to me. I had many moments where I got really frustrated and just had to take a break, clear my head and try again. It
She would think negatively of herself after writing many dreadful sentences and x-ing them out. When she started to feel worried and panicked overthinking her “mistakes” she would walk away for a while to take a deep breath and relax. Eventually she went back to her desk to continue writing again. Lamott mentions, “I would pick up my one inch picture frame; stare into it as if for the answer, and every time the answer would come: all I had to do was to write a really shitty first draft of, say, the opening paragraph. And no one was going to see
Running head: MAJOR DEPRESSION Major Depression In APA Style Since the sixth grade, I have been fixated with germs and neatness. My problem was exacerbated with the stress of entering high school and by the time I was a senior, my life was no longer under my control. I was consumed by my OCD and was withdrawing from my friends and family, was not enjoying things I normally liked, I had gained twenty pounds, was having trouble sleeping and was having suicidal thoughts all the time. My obsession with germs had caused frequent washing of my hands. At one point, my hands were so raw that I did not have fingerprints.
No one realized our relation until I was graduated. Another thing is that I lost my patience to work on my project and ripped the paper. She came and told me “Failure is the mother of success” I still remember her word today. She is a tough woman. Her behaviors and traits influence me deeply.
Valerie Dr. Brister ENG 110 31 October 2011 Where is my #2 and composition book?! Since becoming a student at VCSU just a couple months ago I have seriously questioned not only my intelligence but, my communication skills as well. Numerous times my stress level from having to use the computer in ways I have never even heard of has been incredibly overwhelming. My facebook page has several comments posted by me about the technology these days, and wondering what happened to a number 2 pencil, a notebook, and books. The generation has been called the dumbest; I have been considering myself the dumb one.
