i'm going to just let out all the things that are bothering me because every once in a while, little things pile up and they start to make your head hurt.
1. the weather is making me seriously drowsy much of the time. i keep over sleeping and i have no energy. i guess it's somewhat natural to go into hibernation mode this time of year but i really, really hate it.
2. school is not any easier. my main problem is getting there, or anywhere, for that matter, on time. i can do assignments better now but i just can't not be late for class
3. my parents are getting divorced, which is fine, but it seems to be in some kind of perpetual limbo state.
4. my little brother won't do his homework and i can't make him do it without an argument.
5. i'm working more hours but still can't seem to save up any money. i really want to take a few trips...nyc, niagara falls, orlando, england in the coming year, but how can i if i have no funds?
6. i want a fucking cigarette. i don't want to smoke but i'm craving them like crazy.
7. i seem to be drifting away from a lot of my friends again. i know everyo0ne is really busy with their jobs and significant others, including me. but it sucks when you realize you haven't even had time to grab coffee with someone in over a month.
now for the solutions:
i need to use the artificial sunlight that my sister let me have. i need to fill my room with brightness so i don't feel so dark and dreary.
i need to just KEEP TRYING when it comes to school. take it one day at a time.
same thing with my family. i just need to deal with each thing as it comes.
i need to budget my money. only a certain amount for food, a certain amount for entertainment, keep an eye on when bills will be taken out and put a little bit into my savings every week.
i'm not going to smoke. i'll keep doing the nicotine lozenges, chew gum and just think of how much better i will feel when the struggle is over.
i need to make more of an effort to set aside time to meet up with friends. making plans and sticking to them.
ok, i feel a little better now.
