Subject: grad school and frustrated Author: Shelly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:36:40 07/19/07 Thu im so FRUSTRATED! im in graduate school and im really frustrated with the comments that professors make, i need accommodations, and although they give it to me because they are legally required to do so they make me feel so stupid. then there are times when i need to put on with pure ignorance for example, im supposed to get double time for exams so 1 professor said that "the test really shouldnt take so long double time is built into the system its really an hour test and the whole class has 2 hrs for it so see there is your double time"! does anybody else experience these kind of ignorant remarks? im so sick of dealing with them! at first i didnt disclose that i was LD but i wasnt doing so well and really needed the accommodations so i swallowed my pride and went to the disabilities office now im regretting it, i should have kept it to myself and relied on my own compensatory techniques. also how do u not let it all affect your self-esteem, there are still times when i feel so stupid and like Im in way over my head! i feeling very frustrated right now, i thought by this point in my life i would have come to terms with who i am my strenghts and my weeknesses but i guess i failed that i still wish more than anything else just to be able to do simple things like everyone else, y does all this have to be so hard?! i just reread what i wrote and realize that i sound very negative so i apologize but thats how im honestly feeling right now [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
