1. To be over one's head: to be involved in a difficult situation that is beyond one's ability to cope or control. It implies that someone has taken on more than they can handle, or has gotten into trouble that they cannot get out of. For example, someone who is in over their head with debt may not be able to pay it back. 2. not up to par: not feeling or performing as good as usual, with nothing wrong: Jenny had not been up to par physically and did not come close to winning a medal. 3. have a lot on one’s plate: To have a large or excessive amount of things to do or deal with. I just have a lot on my plate right now while I'm finishing up my degree and doing this huge project for work.
4. to come to a head: If something comes to a head or someone brings something to a head, a situation reaches a point where something must be done about it: Things hadn't been good between us for a while and this incident just brought it to a head. 5. to get to the bottom of something: to discover the truth about a situation: I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of it. 6. diligent: careful and using a lot of effort: a diligent student.
