trying to lighten things up..or not?

ok as the time goes by i feel more and more behind with my work, and slightly that im never gonna rise up to the expectations of my teachers and of  a foreign examiner...at the same time i try to tell myself that i can do this... i just need better time coordination, and determination which i lost about 2 weeks ago... one thing i know for sure that im not the only one that goes thru this, so better cut the lamentation and keep on working!

This plan is not rendered so maybe the next one will look more professional
