I Think I'm Losing My Mind

So I am stressed. I haven't felt this level of stress since I took yearbook back at Verot. I have four projects due out of five of my classes. In two projects I'm the group leader, while the other two are solo. The first, an adaptation of a play we read in Intro to Theatre, is due Friday. I'm adapting "Antigone" to take place in Medieval France. I'm not very worried about this, mostly because it's a creative project and I love those, but it's not helping that it takes place when I need to find sources for my stats project. Plus, I have to assign roles in my Human Systems project, which is due on the last Monday before Thanksgiving break. One of my partners here hasn't shown up in two weeks. Right around that time my Experimental Psych project is due, which is the biggest issue. We have to arrange to borrow a room at FGCU, then we have to get, like, fourteen people to come in on a Friday to take part. Then we have to write a paper on it, plus create a poster board. Oh, and because one of my partners here has to go to New York for a family reunion, we have to present a week early.

Additionally, I'm paranoid about something FGCU-related that could totally screw me over. It's not something I wish to talk about, but I had to say it. The paranoia is eating me up inside. It's like at any moment everything could be ruined, and I would have no control over it. I feel helpless, terrified of the potential outcome. I've actually paced the room a few times. I can't stand it. I want the issue resolved, I want to stop worrying about it.

It had to be said.
