This has been the week from hell. I just turned twenty on Monday and I spent my birthday studying for midterms, working on a CC essay, finishing problem sets, and crying and rocking in a corner of my room. Happy birthday to me.

I could have asked for an extension on several of my problem sets and my essays. I could have talked to my professor about making up some things. But I didn't. Even as I realize how crazy my week has been and how foolish I was to "tough it out", I still find myself reluctant to seek out help.
