mike is asleep in my bed, while i sit at the computer trying to finish a reflection/mini-essay on some readings to submit to my thesis supervisor.

sigh. i want this to go away. i had a panic attack about my thesis at 5 am last night, but i'm still not feeling motivated enough.

Finishing my research proposal in my final term caused me the first of many panic attacks. I sympathise, I really do. The culmination of your undergrad is a stressful time. The key is to not lose perspective. Which is nearly impossible, when most people you talk to are students and just as stressed out, but... *hugs*.

hah. dad was just telling me yesterday about nightmares he still has to this day in which he isn't quite done his PHD thesis yet. It is in your crazy acedemic genes to stress out. and, if you find yourself getting to hung up things, remember your father's wise words "a finished thesis is much beter than a perfect thesis"

good luck. tell mike a say hi (and im not THAT evil... like i dont usually bite or anything)

I'll call you sometime tomarrow. is daytime better?

love,
bridget

Hey, I'm just checking in with you since you have been silent for a while. If you have a moment, let me know that you're out there!

hi! yes, i am still alive, and still reading other people's LJs (yours, for example. i was very excited when you returned from your self-imposed exile!) a lot has happened in the past few months... i went through the most intense semester of university so far, graduated, moved back to toronto and in with my boyfriend. first, i stopped LJ-ing because all i would have had to talk about was how stressed out i was, and then once i moved here i found myself sharing a computer with an internet-addicted boyfriend so i don't get online much. thanks for the checkup... i am planning to go back to journalling once i sort out the various conflicts between my laptop and the modem,and hopefully that will happen this week.
