I place a lot of self-esteem on being able to understand and do things.  I've had some serious issues with a certain class this semester.  It's been pretty difficult to grasp things, and I haven't been as engaged by the professor to pay attention and put a lot into it.  That shouldn't matter, I know, and don't think I'm trying to throw blame around.  I know that I should have done better throughout the year.  Now I find myself in the midst of this class's final project.  I'm sinking.  I thought I had a decent grasp on the first part that was due this past Friday.  I open my mail this morning to a plethora of messages along the lines of 'This had quite a few problems.  Come see me.'  'Here is an example of what you should have done.'  'Please come see me.'  (Evidently the bulk of these messages were sent over the weekend, I think he assumes I have access to email at home.  I don't.
So now I'm burying my head in the sand.  I don't really want to look at it.  It's not like me to dodge issues.  I normally face my fear.  No, seriously, I do.  I might not face it like a man, but I do own up to the things I have to do.  I just don't want to in this class.  I don't want to try to fix part A because I have to do part B, but part A is a springboard into part B.  
I know that nothing in life that's worth having comes easy, but I sure do wish things were easier anyway.
