Assignments and intext citations and referencing.

I am studying an online course. I wrote a few posts over the past 2 weeks approx about the assignments that I have and the work load that I have and all in all I was finding it very stressful to apply myself because my work was being very demanding with a lot of days and physical work and sometimes stay overs and sleepless nights. In conjunction with all this I am getting sick easily too.

It was so hard. I study best when I have a big block of time to apply myself to what I have. Not in little bits of time here and there.

The last few weeks has been so hard. I would say a lot of my time is work. Then I have to divide up the rest of my time for sleep and family and now a course on top of it too.

I first began with my assignments researching stuff and writing into my copy books.

I then I found the time to start typing. All in all it was so hard.

Just today, I took a block of space from my work and sat down to my assignments. I was hardly allowed to do it. I was nearly an end to my second assignment and I had a colleague try and drag me away from the screen. I wasn't even allowed to finish the sentence I was trying to work on. She knew just by the looks on my face to back the fuck away and do her own work and leave me alone. I was fuming.

I finished the typing of my two assignments. Which is a huge load of my back. I really thought I wasn't going to be allowed to do this. It's still only some of the course work. I still have more to do. It's so stressful.

I sat down to do the reference list at the end of my work but then I learned that I need to back up my work with what is called intext citations.

I am just so sick of what this is. It's taking so much out of me and I hate every bit of it. I thought I was nearly the end but I am simply just not. There will be some asshole no doubt that will try and block me from doing this and I will just make my life harder.

I hate this. I do have a rough list of the stuff I used, now I need to go back over my documents and do it again. I am just so sick of this.

Can anyone help me.

Do I need to apply intext citations after every paragraph I made? Or is it after every section answering questions?

I never quoted anything else. I paraphrased all. As in I put it into my own words.

I have examples already about how to add intext citations in that it's done by using brackets.

Then there is a referencing list at the end.

I am so so so so so tired.

Before I submit my work, should I email myself a copy of the document and if my work Just so I can keep it for the future in case I need it.
