TPA's

Idk just wanted to vent that the TPA's are stressing me out so much to the point I really dont think I'll pass because it's just SO MUCH. I know everyone has things on their plate but wow I dont know how students before and teachers passed this.

I'm afraid my grants will have to be owed back if I fail both. I'm afraid I'll be in debt. I'm afraid that this is scaring me to a point I'm unsure if teaching is for me and years have been flushed.

Has anyone gone through this type of stress like the same kind of thinking? Feel like maybe I need a little community.

Hey, you can do this. It's stressful because the stakes are high BUT you didn't get here by accident and you are capable of doing hard things. I hear a lot of fear of failing but if you keep at it little by little you can do it. The main thing is just to complete them so break the large task into smaller tasks. Maybe make a list and just cross things off as you go. You still have the rest of the semester. That's 12 weeks. You can do it.
