Taking a tremendously difficult class which is normally a full semester but has crammed into an eight week summer course. Anatomy and Physiology. It is a nightmare. I get home from my full time job in healthcare at 10:30 pm and do homework until 6:00 am. Toss and turn and sweat and itch in bed for a few hours until it’s time to go back to work. I am not exaggerating. Chemistry and cell structure is so abstract and hard to follow.
I got a 62/100 on the first exam covering the first three chapters. I guess it’s not the end of the world. I have time to turn it around if I redouble my efforts. I’m usually a straight A student.
Every time I talk to people how awful this existence is I’m told it’s a problem with my way of thinking. It always comes back around to being my fault. It gets old. Life isn’t fun.
As Norman Finkelstein once said: “Speaking as a devout atheist, thank God we’re mortal.”
how can it be your fault if you have a full semester-worth of studies in eight weeks Plus a full time job? I will never understand the whole “mind over body” bs some people push. I hope the people that dismiss your pain end up eventually realizing how dumb they are 🫂
