Alex's Character Diary- Stressing for Chem

Why didn’t I just take AP Chem in high school when I had the chance to? Why did I slack off back in high school with classes when I should have been more eager to learn from them? Studying night after night for this chem test has left me drained each morning, dreading leaving my bed for this 9:30am Roman history class. Mark has told to take it day by day, step by step, and not let things get to me but they are. It doesn’t help when you have your parents breathing down your neck, harassing you about your grades in courses and if you are doing well in school. I’m 20 years old and should not be treated like a child anymore. I try my best to be social with my lab partners, but it seems like they want nothing to do with me at all. I can stay up all night studying for this exam just to receive a 75 on it. I keep telling myself that I will change how I focus and get work done but I still continue to procrastinate. I want to push forward and take each day, step by step, but I am worried that I’ll struggle through each semester without achieving anything.
