So much for Spring Break

I agree stress ruins the world, when there is too much of it. But a little stress is good because it helps to get things done. Here we are about to finish spring break, we have 4 weeks left in the semester and I have two tests this coming week. What did I get done over spring break? I took notes for 1 of like 6 chapters for Macro economics, which I am currently FAILING- test is Friday. I have a Management test on Wed, didnt even look at the stuff, and I have lots of Calculus to do, didnt touch that either. So yea panicking. I guess at least my stuff was portable and I could do it over spring break- easily. But I didnt. And at least my mom didnt fuss at me too much. Because I got a lot of non school things done. I went to the dentist, got my tires rotated and balanced and my oil changed, got a possible internship for the summer, helped my grandma with some number crunching for her taxes, almost completed my taxes, and obsessed over this tiny hug that happened between me and a person who has stolen most of my logical thinking- well obsessed over the hug and the fact that the next day he and his girlfriend are no longer friends on facebook. I will definitely have to get back into the work mode.
But heres the thing, we cant go back and change what we didnt do, so we didnt do all the homework that we were supposed to over spring break. But we can bow our heads when we get back to school and do the work that is needed. Yes, our social life might falter a little, but we are ALL college students and so we ALL will forgive one another!
So here's to getting back on track! We can do it!

Stress

It takes over your life and leaves you feeling constricted, frustrated and "ohmygodican'tbreathe-where'sapaperbag!?"-panicking. I hate stress and even more than that is the guilt I get when I neglect things I should do while trying to de-stress. I have these moments and clarity where I'm like 'this is what i need to be doing and if I start now I can get it done and be done with it', but then I get distracted and then i panick and the guilt of not doing whatever it was, studying, hanging with friends, working and whatnot gets me so wound up that I end up throwing myself into the neglected task and neglecting everything else!

I can't speak for everyone, but I am pretty sure that most people feel this way from time to time, especially students. And i write about this now because I haven't even been able to enjoy my spring break for worrying about the projects I left at school over the break. like the welding i didn't finish because the welder ran out of wire and therefore stopped working, and even though veronica was nice enough to go on an adventure to harbor freight to get more wire[and we ran into Dan!! :] who gave me a funny look when i tried to ask if this was the right type of wire i was buying....] I decided to go to greek and lunch and then pack partially and then went to ceramics and then finish packing and by the time I had finished cleaning and all, it was time to go so i didn't weld what I needed to. and how I need a paperclay recipe, but can't find a decently detailed one online without being asked for a credit card number and mailing address. meh.
I just feel like i am not working hard enough or just plain enough and at the same time I work more than I want and more than is good for my stress levels.
I just needed to vent. And to state once again that having pets in the dorms might make them smellier, but it would lead to more happy students and less stressed out students.
and dogs are pretty.

I should go to bed now, i have work to do tomorrow.
