Pressure

HOLY CRAP!
Talk about pressure! I took my first exam for Archaeology of the Ancient Aegean and Greece today, and I was totally overwhelmed by it. Not only did it contain things that were not covered in the reading (yet) or in class, but went way beyond what was explained in class. Of the 9 students in the class, I think a great many of us failed that test. I am so scared that I am going to have a bad academic year this semester because of all of these crazy hoops!
Then, on top of academics, I feel as though I am either Derek Shepherd or Finn Dandridge competing for Meredith Grey... yeah, that is right, I am now hooked on Grey's Anatomy thanks to someone I know... ahem. So that doesn't help the stress factor.
And, lovely finances, those suck as well, since I can't seem to find a job on or off campus that can pay more than $7.65 an hour; and I have to study so much just to get mediocre grades apparently, so I can't work as much as I would like or need to. But I think that I can blame Obama for the job issue, since he has no hold on the concept of economic stimulus. Hint hint: It doesn't work if you take the 4 trillion and give it right back to yourself; lower the tax rate for the upperclass, get rid of Medicaid and Medicare and restructure them, scrap social security, and severely cut down the bargaining rights and powers, including lobbying rights, of the unions.
Ok, that was a rant. Sorry, that is just how I have been feeling right now.
Anyway, I guess I am going to get off an get some sleep, since I have to work, go to class, then work my other job, and then write up a whole annotated bibliography about the economic situation of Troy and Athens.
I am so in a handbasket right now...
