#38:: Motivation/exam stress
17 years ago
Is moot. Sorry guys, I can't seem to get any art done. I'd say it's because I'm busy with school and work, which is true, but not entirely. What it REALLY comes down to is that i haven't even FELT like drawing lately. I almost feel like a kid growing out of their favorite shirt I've really lost touch with myself, and I don't know WHY.
Don't get me wrong it's kind of nice to get the break. I haven't really been on the computer much apart from MSN once or twice a week other than for homework purposes.
My inbox is terrifying. I logged in FA for the first time in a couple months to actually CHECK the thing, and i have almost 2000 messages.
Let me make this clear though- I know it sounds like I'm whining about life a lot lately and I don't mean to. Apart from exams approaching dangerously quickly (I have 2 this week, and three next week), I have a lot to celebrate and look forward to.
My mate and I recently passed the four year mark for dating. Both to celebrate, and to get out of Albertan winter (well, hopefully it'll be winter by then... it doesn't feel anything like it usually does, and as much as I dont like cold, I don't like the idea that Christmas will be brown. Anyway, once my exams are done during Christmas break, we have a trip to Cancun, Mexico booked- I'm super excited for that!
We found a four and a half/ or a five star hotel (Golden Parnascus) which is surrounded with malls and beaches. We got a club room so we'll have the whole package: Flower decorations, jacuzzi tub, supreme room service and a beer-stocked fridge in our hotel. We even have a cruise included in the price. The over all price of the tickets wasn't even that bad. Around 3.5k which was a lot better than the other prices we were looking at for the same time frame.
Christmas- I gotta say I love it. If you don't, I won't criticize but you will definitely get a wierded out look. The thing that I love the most is being able to spend time with my family. Unfortunately I'll be on a plane home most of Christmas, but I'll be able to spend a few days with my family. When i get home from working Boxing day that is.
I got a new laptop, on top of the old one I have. I'm going to need a laptop for school, and lugging around an 18 inch laptop is just plain silly. My backpack is heavy enough as is, with my English and Classics stuff. Next semester is going to be even worse; on top of English I have Sociology, Anthropology, and French.
However, in the end, I've been so stressed lately that all i can focus on is the onslaught of homework and exams. I haven't been getting enough sleep due to the homework and as a result I'm drained by the end of the night. The only thing that is keeping me together without a mental breakdown is the though that once everything over- i'll be able to escape with the one i love and relax. Maybe I'll be able to fart out some drawings during the break when I'm not swamped, maybe not. We'll see how things go.
What do you guys do in times of stress? To study? How do you manage time so you can study and keep up with your work? I could use the tips and I'm open to suggestions.

I don't have all that many violent games. Mostly just RPGs or silly games that made me laugh, buy them, play them once and never again. RPGs usually get me even more frustrated when I'm stressed. Any particular one's you'd recommend? I've got a Ps2, 360 and a wii.
