Still trying to get in SL stuff

Well ive reached the pinnacle of stress among trying to get signed up for SL and trying to learn in my difficult computer class. i feel as greg mortenson did when he became lost on K2 struggling to survive. If you were to compare an overwhelming work load to a challengeing course there is the goods and bads of each. the good for easy homework is that i know i can do all of it but it just never dissapears. the good for having a challenging course is that there isnt much homework but the homework i do get takes hours apon hours apon hours to even get close to understanding it. The bad is that both conflict so much with the learning process in their own ways, either being drowned one day with time consuming papers are being blown away by numerical concepts that seem impossible to get assistance with. There is no one to turn to for such a specific course because there simply is no one that knows how to do it other than the teacher, alas what can a man do in such a situation? drown? Greg mortenson knew all to well of such struggles that seem to overwhelm one in a pit chaos. But all i can do is try and prey that my understanding for such things can be done in a timely fashion. The only sl expeirance i have had so far is not getting my calls returned and getting very frustrated that such things are suppose to be done when there are other much more pressing matters that i must deal with such as passing my other class.
