I'm half way through my graduate career. My psychology classes are going great, 6 As and 2 Bs. MBA... not so much. The pure business classes I have taken up to this point I have gotten 2 Cs, 1 A, and a B. Not my best at all, and this summer semester I am enrolled in two core classes for that degree. I just finished up my second exam in one class and have a presentation on Thursday in my other. I am freaking out, I tried to express this to mom and her reaction wasn't what I thought it'd be. My parents have never really seen me struggle with academics and now that I am, they tell me to push through it and get it done. I know that's what I need to do, but I'm worried I bit off more than I could chew with this degree. So many concepts I've encountered I understand (theory wise), but I struggle so much with the application. I hope I didn't make a mistake. I feel capable of doing the work, but I already used my one get out of jail free card with this program. I can only go on academic probation once more before they kick me out of the program for good. The thought of failing like that is indescribable, unfamiliar, terrifying.
I need to do better, I have to. I cannot let myself down.
End anxious venting.
I need to just fucking do this and own it.
