AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone seems nice in grad school, but it is overwhelming, and since it is the second year, they are somehow still figuring out things.
I wouldn't expect them to figure out 100% of things the first year, but each time they need to figure out something I wonder "Didn't you do this last year?"
Maybe they are changing some things.
I don't know.
We had a quiz due last night and it was supposed to be over the first two chapters of the book and the syllabus, but there must have been questions from the lecture, I just didn't look up the slides and review them because they weren't specified.
We were allowed to take it twice, but each time there was a question I couldn't find in the text, the syllabus, or on-line.
The second one was whether or not 3,000,000 American kids receive significantly fewer calories than the government recommends and I was positive that was low, but I could not find a source that I felt confident used the same number.
I originally selected false, fearing it was far worse, but changed it to true because she gave us a specific number and I hoped that 10-15 million kids received too few calories, but not significantly fewer than recommended.
I got it wrong, so potentially my first score in grad school is a 90, and I am sure there will be far more difficult tasks.
I am supposed to start clinical rotations next quarter and they expect me to complete at least 500 in 21 months.
We were supposed to read 7 chapters before class on Friday, but I needed to observe 25 hours of speech before I graduated, I cannot find my certificate, and my old professor wouldn't send me a copy.
My professors kept saying "Just do it again."
This week.
On top of everything else.
I watched 25 videos for ASU and MUMU.
They weren't quite an hour each, but even though I tried answering questions during the video, I always reviewed my answers one last time and revised them.
Maybe if I had gone out of my way to use so many words the first time I would have earned a better grade and would have gotten in somewhere before.
Anyway, my professor assigned me 34 videos that are a total of 25 hours in length, and since I always end up reviewing and revising for 5 minutes before submitting, they are taking me more like 30 hours on top of classes, readings, quizzes, and assignments.
My classmates kept freaking out about a grammar quiz for another class, which isn't supposed to be due for 4 weeks, but claims it is late.
We are supposed to be able to take it 3 times, but it only let me take it once.
We only need to score 80% for full credit, but I scored 60%.
Most of it doesn't resemble anything that I studied for two Bachelor's and I couldn't find anything on-line.
