learning some theories The past two days probably could have better for me, if I had just allowed myself to relax a little. Forcing myself to be productive on my days off did nothing but aggravate me and induce unneeded guilt. I like what I am learning in class and appreciate being there, but between the heat and continually changing my sleep schedule, I have been less tolerant of other things such as traffic and my not being able to concentrate. Naturally I soon became my own enemy. If I had gone to swim yesterday after class, it probably would have been better for me than what I did instead which was half read what I was supposed to read for class and wish that it was cooler in my house. Now that the temperature has gone down, I've gotten more done this morning than I did yesterday and feel more relaxed in general. The assignment that caused all of my stress these past two days isn't due until next Wednesday, but I wanted to get it done before this weekend. That didn't happen and I'm trying not to let it bother me. ... An hour and a half lounging in and around the pool is a great way for me to put my life back into perspective. The past three days sent my stress level way too high and now I am starting to feel like myself again. I guess after not being asked to think for months, school took me by surprise. Plus not having the textbook for the first week didn't make me it any easier on me either. I should be fine now and I am certain that I'll get the homework done at work this coming Friday and Saturday night in time for next week Wednesday. Now all that I want to do is forget that those two assignments are worth fifty percent of my grade. What I need and want to do is just relax and enjoy life. Jack Johnson's Brushfire Fairytales is playing in the background. ... In general this has been a very odd week for me. Monday involved a trip to the DMV and thankfully it took less time than I had predicted. I had mentally prepared myself to be there for at least an hour if not more, but in reality the process took forty-five minutes with no real complaints. Now the government knows that my car resides at my current address and my drivers license says the same thing. Going there may not have taken as long as I feared, but it still did cut into my sleeping time before I went to class which hurt. That power nap may not seem like much to people, but it does make a difference to me. Then after class I only got two hours worth of sleep before I left for work. This meant that by the time that I got home from work Tuesday morning, I had been awake since Sunday night. |
