But I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

I'm facing a particularly low point in my life right now.
I've 5 projects and 4 exams this term, partly due to my over-ambitious move of bidding for 2 extra mods instead of 1. And 3 of my exams are gonna fall on 2 consecutive days. My intention, afterall, was to do more now and slack big time later on but then, it's gonna be irrelevant if I get into law.
I've underperformed slightly for a mid term and I'm somehow affected psychologically by this ostensibly small setback. In objective terms, this is really a small setback cos I missed the A- for the mid terms by a mere 2% which wouldnt be hard to make amends for in the finals, but the point is, I'm somehow feeling demoralised. I feel a sense of failure and nagging uncertainty in my own abilities that I've yet to experience in smu.
The sheer incompetency and lack of ambition of some of my group mates that lead to a most insiduous effect on the effectiveness and capability of one of my group projects. I have to be the one making sure that those morons don't cock up and remind them not to be morons and be the ass who works his ass off to make sure things go well or else his ass goes as well.
I guess the cumulative effect of the monstrous projects and exams that are bogging me down, in addition to the mini screwup in that particular mid term, is leaving a most unpleasant distaste in my mouth. And I'm trying to get rid of that coarse, viscous, big time stinking shit from my mouth.
