Sometimes I wish I wasn't studying and could go home like the rest of my family and just relax. I just want to get this shit done and relax for two weeks.

The course I'm doing is known for being "easy" academically, but I'm on track to failing a subject unless I get 85% in one of the assessments. I'm submitting everything late, if at all.

I guess there's no point in worrying now, and I just have to power through and cross the failing bridge when I come to it.

You are going to pass because you are intelligent , hard working and you want this.

I remember when I was at uni studying chinese language and art at night , I loved it and was working hard and doing well . Then the fam started booking fam events on the nights when I had school and would tell me to drop classes. I said no and the only one backing me up was miss seagoon who was here on holiday. I went to classes.

Why would they even do that?

Thanks Seagoon, I hope so.

That would've been frustrating to deal with. I'm glad you went to those classes :)

it's not so much frustrating as demoralising and sad , these people are fam and supposed to be telling me I'm good and should be working toward my goals

it made me happy that miss seagoon was on my side and showed I was right in my feelings

hugs
