Uh..Awkward

Well uh..so this is awkward because I of course, being the mess I tend to be, didn't realize that the Blog was due last Sunday not this Sunday, and in addition I am late posting it. Don't ask me how or why I managed to forget something this important, but I did. Maybe it was having bronchitis for a week, going to the the health center and getting medication, which did not work. So, for week's I have had bronchitis which if I didn't go to my doctor when I got home would have turned into walking pneumonia. Thank you health center! Anyways, maybe it was because I was sick and my priorities were not focused where they should have been, or that Thanksgiving was sneaking up on us and my brain was already on break when my body was still in school.

The topic of this blog is actually ironic because this whole post is about relaxing, and letting go of your stress, as well as organizing it. For me, these strategies are more than important because when I get overwhelmed I forget to do them, which as you can tell from me forgetting about this blog, can't happen again.

Thanksgiving break was great, I did nothing but eat and relax, and complet

ely block out all the work I had waiting for me when I returned. However now it is time to face that stress head on, no more procrastinating. So to minimize my stress levels so I don't freak out, I decided to make a "Stress List" to organize my stresses.

It's funny too, because Career Exploration project isn't due until Monday and I surprisingly have a lot done, however what I want to do with my life in the 'career' field is about 100% of what I stress about it life in general, including getting into Whitman. I'm nervous about it even though I have the required gpa, you never really know so I'm still nervous.

Then I tried the '5 Minute Escape' which was a complete fail. I am someone who needs to keep busy, so this particular strategy did not work for me just like sitting still does not work. I need to keep busy or clean my room to escape, or for a run, that works for me.

So, the lesson learned is definitely don't forget to do assignments because you are so caught up in your life, it never ends well! Plus if you tackle your stresses early on you don't have to deal with them later!
