Sadly, while I've somehow managed to be getting through classes with positive results, I can't say that I've been my normal, peppy self. This quarter, which will (hopefully) be the most stressful quarter of the year, I made the mistake of taking classes with all professors that I already have good relationships with. The downside of that is that while I may have managed to fool last quarter's professors into thinking I was putting the most possible effort into their classes, this quarter's professors know better.
As I was walking to school today, having not-the-best-morning-ever (a cold and some bad news yesterday), I heard my name yelled from across the parking lot. I turned around, and there was my PE prof. She asked how things were going and I was perfectly honest with her: I was stressing about the job search. She said that I didn't seem to be my normal self, but told me to focus on getting a job first and then stress about her class after I had a job and it came close to finals time.
It's just nice to have profs who A) understand where your priorities are and B) notice when you're stressing out and care enough to ask about it.
I love Darden profs... this is probably one of the reasons the Princeton Review recently ranked Darden professors #1.

Aww! I <3 Darden Professors! You'll get to where you need to be. It's stressful but there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
