Dismal mondays.
I feel most productive in the afternoon. Mondays would be prime for getting work done, but I have to be at work then. There isn't really a way around that unless I want to work Monday mornings (which I don't). I need the money, and I can't shift my work schedule around to get 4 more hours in anywhere else, unless I start working weekends...which I'd rather not do.
I hate Literature of Harlem Renaissance. I'm hoping that the course will start to make sense at some point, but right now I feel absolutely clueless and it's incredibly frustrating. I don't feel like I have the right background information to analyze the literature, and I don't feel like the course is providing that information for me. I am really afraid that I am not going to do well in this course, and I need to keep my grades in a B range if I want to keep above a 3.0 GPA this semester. Does it really matter? No, but I would feel a lot better about myself if I could do that. I think most of my friends have higher GPAs than that, it makes me feel pretty stupid. I emailed the prof once about missing class and never heard from her, which doesn't make me feel good about emailing again about my confusion with the course. There is no way out of this course though, nothing I could take instead and it's too late to change.
At least the rest of my classes are good/bearable, even if the Jane Austen course pisses me off half the time for similar reasons (it at least makes more sense intuitively).
Next semester I'll have to take at least one other course that I'll hate (for the literature before 1700 requirement). This semester is just too much. I don't feel like I'm keeping pace with the work anymore, and I don't feel like I can.
