Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. Mmmm, wine...

I feel really weird today.

Daylight Savings is poopy, I miss my hour and my body clock is all out of whack.

I feel stressed and behind in my homework.  I was bad on Saturday but good yesterday, and still am not where I want to be with it.  I am looking at it piecemeal to avoid freaking out, you know, the old mind trick of  "ok, what is actually PHYSICALLY due today" and concentrating on that.

I really regret taking three 1-credit classes this semester, in the midst of two other "normal" 3-credit classes.  I kinda wish I had just taken another regular class...but the scheduling was off and I think I remember there not really being anything else this semester I "needed" to take, since I'm getting down to electives at this point, and not many were offered this Spring.  Anyway, I regret them at the moment because they take up two whole intense days and require a lot of front-loaded (or end-loaded reading) in a clump. 

It's hard to explain but people have to take off work to attend them and they are intense and far away.  I have one this Friday and Saturday in Baltimore at the home campus.

Wow, I'm really whiny.  I felt so weak this morning - the incubus was with me this weekend and when he left this morning I cried and kind of begged him to stay.  I didn't want to face the stress of my week alone.  I feel like I am making mistakes but I don't even know what those mistakes are.  I just know that things rarely or never seem to feel right, and I can't pinpoint what it is.  Perhaps it's the patterns I've gotten into, they're not serving me but I'm not enlightened enough to realize it? Or maybe it's that I'm not really the master of my own destiny at the moment and I'm sick of feeling like a child?  I just don't know, but it gives everything else I feel, good or bad, an 'edge' that's annoying as fuck.

School stress is tough. There's all these expectations you have of yourself, and so much pressure you think others are putting on you.

You just have to break it up into two levels. Classes you like; ones that are actually *teaching* you things you need, and classes that are required, ones you don't care about but need to get done for the degree, grumbling your way through it. In other words, separate out the bullshit from the gold, and I think it might help clarify things a little. You know you have what it takes, now you just have to deal with the nonsense college courses.

And I've always liked the word incubus...
Well, here is something I should add.

I just completed an assignment wherein I typed up a transcript of an entire session with my prison client and had to analyze it. Thoroughly.

After doing that...I feel like I suck and am questioning my abilities. :P
You simply would be incapable of doing a good job if you didn't question your abilities. The trick is not to be trapped by the question and realize you are improving through your efforts.
