STRESSED

Honestly, this class is stressing me out. This is a 2 credit hour class and I'm spending hours upon hours on it-much more than other classes-only to receive harsh grades. I know that I'm not the only one that feels this way because I've talked to other classmates and they also feel overwhelmed. Not only that, but during field we have huge assignments to do. One is finishing our digital story-which will take forever and you can't collaborate it like a google doc. Not only will I be teaching at a school and doing lesson plans, I also have to find a way to travel from Salt Lake to Orem to work on our project when I wasn't planning on having to do this. Plus my team members are teaching at their own schools and our schedules are different. To me, this class is getting ridiculous. I feel like there are SO many assignments, and as much as I appreciate the technology, the class isn't fun anymore and I feel like I'm drowning. Instead I dread it and dread learning. I feel like there is SO MUCH being packed into this one course that I can't have a chance to breathe or really soak stuff in. It's frustrating because I don't have a printer right now that will print off the stuff for the PDP (my laptop is still in the shop and I have to borrow my grandparents' computer with a printer that doesn't work), so doing that part of the assignment is difficult and I can only print at school. But since I won't be at school for a while...
I'm just stressed and frustrated. Any suggestions or help? I'm sorry for being a little bit harsh, but I'm so overwhelmed now! I'm not trying to hurt feelings or anything, I'm just frustrated! Is there any way to take on this course and become less stressed?
