Learning Difficulties

   I am so behind on my homework right now. And I am not proud of that.
   It's mainly because I had to take a couple of days off of my course because I was sick, but there are other things from other units I have to do and I don't know where to start. One of the things I have to do is something I thought I had already done, but I hadn't quite done it good enough, so I have to do it again.
   What really sucks about this is that I was doing so well last year, comparatively, though I'm sure Mum will ardently disagree - she always does with anything I say. The only unit I failed last year was one I did again this year, so it doesn't really matter that much, and it isn't really one that has much to do with the subject matter of the entire course anyway. Mum wants to make a huge fuss about it but I see no point in doing that - they won't talk to us about it anyway, and besides, it's only one unit - I didn't fail the whole course because of it.
   One of my friends is using homework as an excuse not to even talk to me, which really sucks. I haven't seen him in ages, and he's the only person I can actually talk to, so when he won't talk to me, I get really stressed and have no-one I can vent at. I know he's doing a course which is a lot more difficult than mine - he's doing psychology, or something like that - but that doesn't give him an excuse to seemingly ignore me. I feel so alone now.
