Overwhelmed

[elmo1983]

I am feeling so incredibly overwhelmed at the moment.  I have so much to do, and I feel like I have no idea what I am doing.

I have to make a digital story on a social justice issue...no idea how to pick a topic, how to represent the topic through pictures, and how to talk about it insightfully about it.  I am absolutely lost.  I have to submit it

Hey hun. A couple ideas. For your "issue of importance", you had mentioned to me last night that you thought the teacher only had one method of teaching. Maybe you could work on that.

As for talking to the teacher, does she have e-mail? That way you won't forget something important to ask her and you won't feel like you're bothering her.

Wish I could help you out on the other stuff, but I wouldn't know where to begin? If you want Mel's help, just let me know. I'm sure she'd be glad to give you some pointers.

Hmm...yeah, maybe I could work on that...as long as I can figure out different things to try...and how to measure if it's helping! But thanks, I'll think about that.

She does have e-mail, but took forever to respond when I e-mailed her from Queen's, so that wouldn't be the best way to communicate with her.

Thank for the offer...I'm doing better today I think. I just have so much trouble sitting down and asking her all my questions. I got some of them done today, but I still have more for tomorrow.

Hey Lisa!

(1) Happy birthday! (I am going to call you, but i always get home too late, and i think you're asleep).

(2) I would write down all my questions you want to ask, and write down all the answers. I do that with my thesis supervisor. He's really smart, and that can be intimidating, at least if I have all the questions you can't forget them!

(3) I feel your stress, sister. I am going craaaaaaaaazy.

(1) Thanks! Yeah, I probably am asleep! I go to bed at 10 most nights!
(2) I try that...but usually my list seems to long, that I end up cutting out some questions because I don't want to take up all over her time...but tomorrow there are some things I have to talk to her about, so I will try this again!
(3) Thanks....haha...I just have to try and remain calm...I'm happy when at school, it't just when I get home I freak! Hope you don't drive yourself too crazy though :P
