I mean, I'm taking a much lighter course load than I am used to, I've told my professors (where relevant), I'm registered with Disability Services and they've helped me get backup note-takers in two of my classes, Disability Services will also give me extra time on my exams to deal with the pain in my hands...I've done just about everything I can to be the "good student." <BR/><BR/>But, even so, I'm starting to get really overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to get done. I'm trying to figure out how to steel myself for the inevitable drop in grades that seems so likely with my reduced work ethic. I'm not sure I know how...~Mariah~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18167493614638596254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512094385883127902.post-3958056255036310792008-10-16T20:55:00.000-06:002008-10-16T20:55:00.000-06:00I had a real shock this morning.

I thought I'd have to stay home because i couldn't sit. How could I drive? Anyway I thought of you and wondered how you manage every morning. Somehow I stretched and made the pain go away. All day long I was relieved to know that it was gone. I moved very carefully so that it wouldn't return. I know that it takes a lot of strength and courage to wake up and face the day. I am so proud of you, You are strong and beautiful.Sylvia Zebrowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317615624622434087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512094385883127902.post-70914478375620383012008-10-15T18:27:00.000-06:002008-10-15T18:27:00.000-06:00Once again, we live parallel lives.

I do have to tell you that I am so glad that you have opened up to some of your professors and that they have been kind. In undergrad I didn't do that because I was too proud, and I look back and wish I had.<BR/>This next thing isn't really inspirational, but it is truthful. My grades did suffer towards the end of undergrad when I became really sick. Of course, I think that may be our version of suffer because they were still good but not what I wanted or planned on. I want to tell you not to be too hard on yourself, but really it would be hypocritical of me, because I am always hard on myself too. I totally understand how you feel. Jut remember to keep hope for 'next week' because that hope is what keeps us auto-immune gals going.~kelly marie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03459083300131590014noreply@blogger.com
