I tend to be a fairly happy person by nature. I'm reluctant to call myself an optimist, though I do try to look at how things can benefit me in the future instead of dwelling on the pain they cause me. It's how I've survived some of the low points of my life so far, after all, and for me it's a tried and true coping mechanism

I can relate to a lot of what you're feeling. I hope sleep will smooth some of those rough edges and you'll feel better tomorrow.

[arcanelegacy]

I hope it will, too - especially since I think all of this desperation and fear is due in part to sleep deprivation. D:

Thank you, by the way. <3

You're welcome!

I kind of know how you feel too. Class registration is a thing of the past for me now (unless I opt for self-torture and do grad school) but it was always a major source of agony. FSU has been slashing the budget too, and we never had a good offering of IA classes to begin with. I'm taking a killer course load my last semester because they weren't offering enough BS classes for me to take. And I always wind up really wanting to write fanfiction when I have a billion things to do for school, so I never get around to it

Augh, registration is a bitch. Budget cuts aren't helping (my department is losing so much money it's not even funny; they're actually taking out half the lights in one of my buildings to cut energy costs. And I mean they are removing the very fixtures themselves to cut costs), and it also doesn't help that my academic advisor is not teaching at this school this semester, leaving me without anyone to turn to for help. Our department is disappearing, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do to save myself while it goes down.

You're almost worse off than I am, too, since you're on your way out into this shitty economy for real. D: I'm definitely rooting for you from over here, so you've got at least one friend cheering you on for sure!

I'm definitely thinking I'll feel better in the morning, when the sun's back and the weather's nicer than it has been. So sad that my mood is so readily dictated by the weather sometimes, but I'll take the upswing in this case. <3

omg this was me like...2 weeks ago.

I know this is going to sound trite and carpe diem-y, but I think sometimes what you want IS what you need. We're all (hopefully) making headway towards what we want to do for the rest of our lives but there are always those long stretches of time where the only reason we're doing something is because we HAVE to do it to get somewhere. Like school, in general. But you can only keep going for so long without some everyday things to sustain you, be that fanfiction or videogames or poking hobos on the street - ANYTHING, even if it's just for 30 minutes. It doesn't fix the world, but it makes day-by-day go a little better, at least for me.
anyway...*feels awkward giving advice* I hope you feel better!!

I agree - sometimes you do have to take some time to do what you want over what you need. I'd have done just that last night, but it was down to crunch time with some of my assignments so I didn't have much of a choice; it was kind of do or die.

Apparently the Powers that Be took pity on me, though, as my last class of the evening was cancelled. Now I have quite a bit more time do work than I thought. Heh. Funny how things work out like that sometimes. Definitely taking some time for my own work tonight, then I'll get back to all of my assignments again. XD

Don't feel awkward! Advice and cheerleading are always appreciated on my end. &hearts!
