End to a Stressful Week for the Heinisch Children

Meg ended what she called the most stressful week of her school life.  She had her biggest test so far this year at IU in K201.  The course has been named the Kelley weed out class because it does just that for Business majors and minors.  Meg knows several students who have dropped out of the school of business based solely on their grade in that class.  Meg also had a project and several assignments due this week to worry about.  She took her studying seriously, finished everything that needed completed and by Thursday night decided that the best course of action for her Friday test was to get a good night's sleep.  The exam went well and she felt good about the outcome.  She celebrated by attending a dance with Yatsiri and friends from her church.  It was a fantastic way for her to end the week.

Cameron was also feeling the stress as the end of the quarter was fast approaching.  He had five tests in two days and several projects to complete.  School has not been extremely challenging for Cameron, but he does take his grades seriously and wanted to finish this eight weeks with all A's.  He was on target for that when he checked Friday and was happy to have a weekend to recover and watch basketball.

Brett felt a little exasperated as well when I talked to him this morning.  He was scheduled to work sixty hours this week and next.  He likes his job a lot, but physically it is extremely demanding.  He's also had to learn a lot which has added to the stress.  Thankfully, he was able to schedule dinner out with Andrew this week and was looking forward to a three day weekend including a trip to Indy with Rachael when his work day ended at 11 p.m. tonight.

Cal had several tests this week, but really didn't feel too stressed about them.  He sounded more worried last weekend when he was studying.  Overall, he said that they went well and wasn't too concerned.  My conversation with him probably left me the most stressed.  He was so incredibly laid back about his week, that I must have decided to take on the stress for him.  Cal and I tend to work well that way, so I wasn't too surprised.  The nice part of our conversation was realizing that every day this spring semester has brought him closer to graduation.  It will be such a wonderful feeling for him when he is officially done.
