Wedding and school troubles

Oh no! We've all been there girl, don't worry. Like your FH said, move on and focus harder on your studies for the remainder of the term.

If you need to delegate tasks, or ask for help, don't hesitate to reach out to family and friends.

I'm so sorry! I've done the same thing with online courses, and I know how terrible that feels. And I wasn't even planning a wedding! I know it sucks to hear, but all you can do now is move forward. Take the time you need to grieve this midterm, and it's totally appropriate to feel down, but focus on trying to get out of that funk when you feel ready. Again, vent all you want. I know this sucks.

I know your pain. I’m planning my prospectus and plan to start my dissertation next semester. However, I’ve been so caught up in everything else that school has been on the back burner. I say this to say that you’re not alone. I encourage us both to continue trying to balance all of our priorities by realizing that the best way to succeed is to meet our deadlines. It sucks that we have to sacrifice so much of our time but the reward is so much greater than the guilt we feel when we fall behind. You got this! Don’t beat yourself up too hard. You’re enjoying life and sometimes, some of our other life happenstances fail when we are enjoying life. I remember this quote from Shonda Rhymes, “Whenever work is going good. Family suffers and vise versa. Somewhere, you’re giving more to one thing than the other. Doesn’t mean you’re failing just means that that’s where your energy and heart is.” I wish you the best!

Hang in there chica!

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! Sometimes in law school when things don’t go as planned it’s really easy to wonder if i even belong there. Your comment was very very helpful and made me feel much better.

That’s part of what law school is there to teach you. After law school, you’ll still have major life experiences that come up and distract you from work (pregnancy, birth, family death, hobby etc).

ight now you just messed up a single class grade. It sucks a lot, but you didn’t screw up the bar or put the wrong number in a contract or miss a federal filing deadline and mess with your clients life or livelihood. So learn from this, get your head in the game and finish law school strong and focused. Set aside a certain amount of planning and then focus on school the rest of the time.
If you think of this as an opportunity to learn a valuable skill from law school... to focus even when life is happening, then it might sting less.

Girl, I’ve had bride brain for the last 5 weeks. I started a new job 5 months ago and there has been a lot of pressure on me. On top of, we don’t live together so I’m packing up my apartment. I’m so sorry, you missed your important test. Totally normal to be awful, but really never is nothing else you can do about it.
