I've been pissy lately. Not at anyone in particular, or perhaps simply at myself. Mostly, I think, it's stress. Although, really, there doesn't seem to be that much to stress about. Except. Except that I have barely three weeks of classes left and haven't even began really thinking about the final paper. Except that we invited M's parents to my

You have a lot going on. One day at a time. It makes things worse when you look at the whole picture. I'm like you, I get overwhelmed too. It's the worst feeling. But I promise things will work out. WHat helps me is when I think of a date in the future when all the crap Im currently stressing over will be, well, OVER. Then I focus on getting to that date. It helps.

And I'm with you on the sleep thing. My hours dont jive with "real" people (look who is up at 2am reading lj with you heheh) The best thing to do is embrace it and try to work with your natural schedule best you can.

xo~

I understand the bittersweet thing... when I left last year, even though I knew I was making the right choice, even though I *knew* how much that program didn't fit me, even though I *KNEW* how much better my new program would be... I was still sad to leave in many ways. Embrace it, then prepare for the next big adventure.

I need a good paying job this summer too.. preferably one that ONLY lasts for the summer, so I can walk away from it this fall to a) go to Burning Man, and b) start writing my thesis. ACK! THESIS!

And densaer swears by melatonin when he travels to help him sleep. Just a thought :)

btw, I'm so proud of you for sticking it out through that program! Early congrats on your success :) mayhap when I finally get my damned degree done I'll be able to talk my boy into a trip out East... can you believe he's never been to NYC evar? Sheesh!

(and don't forget, I'm three hours behind you so if you can't sleep and want to blab, I'm still awake! ;))
