Stress

I am currently taking 17 hours of class and working twenty hours a week. Now for any person that is not a bad schedule at all, but I seem to be having difficulties with it. All my classes are at very decent times like on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I don’t have class until 11:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes from 8am to 12:45, which also includes my Tuesday’s class at 5 and Thursday’s class at 1:15. I work graveyard shift every night from 12 to 4am every night except Sunday nights which is Monday mornings. My job title is called a desk assistant and I work in the dorms which is very convenient to me since I stay on campus, but my Tuesday and Thursday shifts make my life a little hard. I have a early 8:00 class on those days and do not get off until 4:00 or even later sometimes when the next desk assistant do not show up. Then, I have to get up at 7 to get ready for class and that means I only like 3 hours of sleep which is not good. I be so sleepy when I go to class, but I have to go because my teacher takes attendance. In my two classes right after that, my teachers do not take attendance, so I hardly make it to them, but I still do all my assignments though. I really want to give up my shifts permanently, so I can be well rested for class, but it is my only job and I like having the money. I think getting rest is so much important, but I really do not know what to do with my schedule this semester. My parents think I should ask for better hours and give up my late one. I wish I could do that, but I cannot because everyone hours is already set…so I am stuck being miserable.
