Desperately trying to catch up...

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>So... I really messed up. I am now really behind in most of my classes. I really need some hard core advice to get back on track and to finish the year strong. </p>

<p>I'm doing well in my classes at the moment grade-wise, but I know that if I do less than stellar on my finals that it'll hurt my GPA. (Trying to keep it at or improve from 3.9)</p>

<p>I'm about 4 readings behind in philosophy, though I've listened in class and think I really get the material. Each reading is 6 pages front-and-back but it's really complicated and I have to reread things several times while highlighting and simplifying in my own words in the margins. </p>

<p>How should I split this up and try and tackle it?? I have handouts that simplify it, so should I read those as I read the passages? The final for that class is on the 22nd. </p>

<p>I'm also behind in sociology, but it's an open note, online test and I'm pretty sure I can catch up quickly enough. Should I set this as my last priority, then? That exam is the 24th. </p>

<p>And for this research class that I have, I have to revise a paper for the 19th that needs more, different sources and a new setup. I think this will take quite some time, and I also have 9 readings to make logs for. (I got the info from class discussion, so now I just have to go back and skim and write notes, which takes a ton of time because some of the readings are 30 pages long of teeny, scientific text)</p>

<p>Should I just scribble notes for the logs asap and then focus on the paper? The ones I've already done are solid, and they're all due on the 17th. </p>

<p>Finally, I have a French final on the 24th, but I'm totally on par with that. </p>

<p>This is my first time being this much of a procrastinator. I totally didn't account for all the homework I would have to do when I started working, and I've taken time off to try and patch things up. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help, and I appreciate any tips.</p>
