hey ya'll this is the first time ive asked for prayer in a while but yeah. Im taking this really lame com. 295 media writing course and i need it to certify in communications, meaning i need a C+ . but so far all ive gotten are C's on assignments and D's on the quizes. quizes are only 10% of the final grade but every little bit counts. and i mispelled a name on my last assignment so that was an auto-fail on that assignment. for me if i put my mind to it, usually i improve, but im hitting a brick wall no matter how hard i try. im also extremely lonely. not like ghetto depressed lonely, ive learned how to get around that one, but it just kinda aches alot when im alone. plus i dont really fit in that well here since im use to the tech scene in seattle, the main constrast is people play outside or are good at everything but technical or gaming, so when i go outside and never get a frisbee thrown my way or sit and watch people play volleyball and basketball after friday night youthgroup because i suck immensly at both, it gets old after a while. Im also dead tired, mostly because ive been doing school since..... january without any breaks, and any school breaks (3-day weekends) my parents fill up with stuff they "need" me to do. so yeah, thats just me right now. thanks
 
Praying, sir.

When I attended college in St. Louis, I was 3-5 years older than nearly all my classmates. I did not fit in at all and I didn't make any friends--just acquaintances.

I know that's not much encouragement, but, at the least, you know you're not the only one. :)

Will be praying for you. Hopefully you'll be able to find a peaceful time and place to relax for a day or two soon. I know that's what i usually need when I get overwhelmed with everytyhing. Sorry to hear that you dont fit in. I know where you're coming from. :( Just remember it is darkest before dawn :)

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40

I felt exactly the same way pretty much all the way through the first two or three semesters, and my apartment (semi-dorm) was only a half-hour from my then-girlfriend (now-wife :) ) and parents. I could even be talking to Dea on the phone and still feel lonely at the same time, just because nobody I knew was there with me. I was also very sensitive to slightest negative comment or perceived slight from any of my room-mates, and negative vibes would leave me lying in my room, paralyzed emotionally, unable to study. Life's hard for an emotionally sensitive guy. But I learned to handle it better as I got older. My best advice about activities is to keep looking for those that have some interest for you. Somewhere on your campus (or off of it but nearby) people are doing stuff that you might be surprised to learn you will really enjoy. Like chess or a book club or improv. Try different stuff if sports isn't your thing. Thanks for sharing your situation Adam, will pray for God to support you emotionally and help you focus for your studies.
