Mini meltdown

Well, I planned on completing the Koha assignment this morning but had no idea on where to begin. It started to put me in freak out mode but I was like, I am not going to let it bother me, I'll simply get other things done and then come back to it. As luck would have it, I read someone's latest blog entry tonight and she mentions watching an instructional video on Koha and how much help it was. It's already 9 PM and I am still in shock over what a nightmare another class of mine is, so I plan on getting it done the other night as I don't feel up to trying to complete it tonight. It is making me feeling a little bit better that perhaps it's not as scary and daunting as originally thought. I guess my problem is I don't actively search out things on much as blackboard as I should. My problem is with three other classes besides this one, I feel so overwhelmed with everything, constantly stressed out and exhausted from trying to keep everything straight and separate.

I was seriously brought to tears tonight from another class. I don't understand how some things can happen. In the second week of the semester, I took the first quiz for one of my courses. They are done online, graded electronically, etc. Well there were a total of 20? questions, one though had 13 questions or something like that within the one whole question. I only had two wrong but I lost 13 points. Somehow, the question with the multiple questions within, it graded me that I hadn't gotten anything correctly, even though I should have only been scored for missing two. Well, it took weeks to hear anything back regarding this from my professor. My grade in courseweb still showed the nasty, erronenous grade. A couple of days ago I emailed the professor asking if the grade would be amended to show the correct one. I received an email tonight saying he had erased the grade and that I could take the quiz again! I know no one can understand my utter frustration and almost heart sickness over this-all I was asking was for the correct grade to be posted and now I have to re-take the quiz. I could seriously cry over just typing this. From day one, I have had problems with the class/the prof. but now this takes the cake. With everything else going on, I now have this to contend with? This utter lack of intelligence is what I am paying tens of thousands for? To go into debt for?

Okay I am done crying and griping. Another week tomorrow in a great semester.
