Stress in the Classroom

Here I go again, the daily demands of job interfering with the attendance of class.
On one hand I am told by my employer an given the ok to attend college classes. Then in actuality work prohibits me from attending the very same classes I was told I could attend. My stress level went right through the roof. How do I cope with the stress? Many would turn to alcohol, drugs, self badgering and self consternation. I chose to simply face the facts of life and discuss things with my instructor, forgo the relaxing pastimes I do in life to help relief stress and simply study as I can and complete my work in all my available spare time. One thing that is amazing is the chapter on stress relief tells of methods to help aleviate stress and how to use differing coping mechanisms to prevent the psycological and physical implications of stress.
I chose to remain positive, find time to relax, seek medical treatment for injuries I sustained in the Army and rely on support of friends and family. It was simply amazing that the study of stress and the affects it has on the human mind and physical well being were studied right when I needed it most. I simply used direct contact with the sources of my stress to help alleviate the problem. I discussed my work schedule with my boss and my computer difficulties with instructors. I explained my missing several classes as a work related issue and continued to reconcile the issues until resolved.

My employer has ensured me my college will not be interfered with except when Federal Court appearances demand my precense. My instructors are working with me to aleviate my work load and scheduling issues. Will this relieve stress?

I shall observe and watch, seeking ways to make all aspects of work and education come together and to alleviate my stress levels by logical analysis, exercise and finding time to shut down and relax.
