It's really hard to keep up with my grades. This quarter I'm going to get
two c's in two of my classes and I haven't ever gotten a c before. I feel awful
and like I let my parents down and that I let myself down. All I really want to
do is sleep but I have so much work to do and I feel like it never ends and I don't ever get a break from the stress and my head always seems to hurt. I'm not
really sure what to do anymore. </span></p>

"Cs", you should probably address this with the various teachers of

your grades. Even if it is too late at this point in time, ask the
teachers what you can do so this doesn't happen again. </span><br></p>

go for a walk and drink them in. Don't allow any thoughts about academics
to enter your thoughts for that entire 30 minutes.</span><br></p>
