Doubts
I'm starting to feel some doubts and anxiety about my course. I am glad that I'm doing it but I start to question whether or not it's too much for me? Is it too much to take in? Can I handle it?

Future Shock
From Wikipedia:
Future Shock is a book written by the futurist Alvin Toffler in 1970. In the book, Toffler defines the term "future shock" as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire societies.

Sundays are bastards aren't they? They are the buzzkill of the weekend. They are the post-con blues you get following a great Saturday. Whatever your mood is or has been, you can guarantee that waking up on a Sunday will considerably lower your mood. Sunday is the day that all the negative thoughts come out to play. Today I am beset by hatred, ( Read more... )
