Journaling is therapeutic, even if most of the words are edited out of the final publishing :).
It's getting to the time of year that I both love and hate: holidays and finals. What I really hate is how stressed out I feel because of finals, reflected in my inability to focus on the holidays - which I regret for the kids' sake. This time next year? I, at least, won't be taking finals. Instead, I'll be carving out a whole new spin on traditions :-P. So this is the year to get in those "last times." Maybe that's a subconscious part of the stress I'm feeling.
It's a piece-of-cake semester, comparatively: one final next week (a super-easy demonstration in my pilates class); one final in my music class (which, I expect, will be a lot like my midterm - nothing to worry about); and one bear of a paper, in addition to some more minor projects and reports. Nothing too bad. Manageable, I guess. But the paper is worrying me to bits, because it feels out of control, totally unmanageable. I'm hoping my teacher will hand back my proposal with some useful advice written in the margins.
I need to figure out how to take care of these things one at a time :-P.
