Stuck

I'm not totally stuck. I'm just having a hard time figuring out what to do. It's been hard to focus on School this Semester since I've been working and a good portion of my thoughts are dedicated to how my paycheck will be divided amongst the bills. This is also the semester where I repeat several classes in an attempt to raise my GPA and get off of academic probation. Why is this so difficult for me right now? Well, there's a reason why I didn't pass these classes the first time I took them. In my Class about the first amendment I had a hard time focusing not only because of my personal crisis, but also because I just had a hard time paying attention in class to my professor who explained everything in detail, but was and still is incredibly boring. On top of that, whenever I did make an honest attempt at passing his exams, it seems that the things he reviewed in class and his phrasing on the actual exams were not quite the same. In my Spanish class that I am taking this semester I'm having a hard time because my instructor is not very thorough. I took this same class last semester with a different instructor and I probably would not be taking it this semester if I had known how to balance my classes with my full time job. I passed and got credit from the university, but I passed with a D and to get credit towards my major I'll need to pass it with a C. Now I have an exam tomorrow in my first amendment class and I am totally unprepared. Work has been an issue, but I'd be lying if I said that there was no possible way I could've tried to prepare for it. I could've at least read the chapter if nothing else. So, now I'm frustrated with everything, work and school, and when push comes to shove, regardless of circumstance, I have to take responsibility for my part. Yes, I went through a period of depression for several months and that impacted my education and my finances last year. I'm still seeing the effects of it a year later. This past semester was much better emotionally and I decided to work full time. I struggled through school because I would be so tired from working that I had difficulty making it to class on time. I need the money, but school comes before the job. There are plenty of other jobs just like the one I have now. They'll always be available. If I flunk out of school, there's no telling how long it would be before I got another chance to try it again. I'll be skipping my test tomorrow. However, from here on out there really are no more excuses. I absolutely have to pass all of my classes or else there is no more probation. There's suspension and possibly expulsion. That's not an option.
