Ugh, I'm going to get an ulcer the size of Japan next semester.

So I am getting ready to register for classes for Spring 2014, and two of the classes I am taking are with two of the department's most demanding professors, one of whom my friend has had and can testify for her rigor.

It's not that I don't want to be challenged; it's just that...I'm not sure I'm ready and/or skilled enough. I like to think I have a tough skin, but I know I'm going to be freaking out over papers more than I do now.

I have had pretty hard professors already, and have done fairly well with them. In fact, the one with whom I have two classes at the moment likes me, but I think that's the only reason she likes my work so much--because she likes me, for whatever reason.


I feel so incompetent. ☹️
