Okay, so I am feeling pretty stuck right now in my situation, and I guess I am seeking prayer about/for it. There is no way to try to describe it briefly, but this class that I'm enrolled in now is so tremendously overwhelming and stressful, I don't see how in the world I'm going to get a passing grade. The biggest problem I can see with it, is the amount of homework that is assigned. There just isn't enough time in the week, to get to all of it. I see that the homework is also in the way of me actually getting ahold of the concepts; this is the best way I can describe it. I have a midterm happening today, and I really don't feel ready for it at all. Don't feel that I was able to adequately prepare for it, because of how the class is set up.
This amount of homework, I've never seen anything like it; nor did I ever believe that something could be this out of hand. In addition, the amount of taxing stress I feel in my body is crazy. At this rate, I just don't have time to actually focus on or study the material, because I've been relying on tutoring to show me how to do the homework, but there's just so many concepts to try to cover in such a short period of time. I just can't get a grasp on any of them, individually.
One of the other problems that I see here in the bigger picture is that I am having a very difficult time trying to explain this whole thing to people who have never been in this position before. As far as trying to correct the problem, I don't see that there is really anybody in place to be able to care, as I am just one of 40,000 other students. The professor really isn't in control of things either (I took this exact same class last quarter, and had to end up bailing after a couple weeks because the quarters started off so terribly -- I was told by THAT Professor that it is the Higher-Ups in the math department/ people I can't get to who are pulling the strings, making the decisions on the amount of coursework that is involved).
I see that my situation is a big house of cards, because my understanding is that if I would end up failing this class, then that could affect my financial aid, and then that gets into potentially affecting my housing; I don't want to end up homeless because of this, but I just don't see a way out... This class is required for my major. (I found this out the hard way pretty recently, but that's a whole other story; but there is just no way around it/to avoid it)
One of the girls in my Bible study told me that she had a class like this since being at this University, and she did end up failing the class, because things are like this; she ended up having to do the class at community college in order to make up the credit. Unfortunately, I do not have this option because I don't know where I would live if I did that. I am at University right now, and there's just no time to load a community college class on top of everything else.
