School Worries

The last time I attended a college class was probably about ten years ago. Back then, you bought your book, went to the lectures (sometimes) and took notes and you were good. Now that I am in school again, I can see that things have really changed. For my Spanish class, not only am I responsible for the lecture material and the book, but the book came with a CD ROM and there is also a website for the book that has assignments as well. Then there is another website called "Tell Me More" that has more projects and assignments. When I decided to go back to school, I knew that there would be a lot of homework, but this is serious anxiety territory. I need to make sure I stay on top of it because if I get too far behind, I'll get overwhelmed and that's when depression comes in. If that happens, I go into a tailspin of doom and give up on everything and go to bed for a few weeks. I'm not going to let that happen.
