Before I go on in any of this..

I AM NOT SUICIDAL

No matter how much the title may imply it.

*sigh* Anyways, I think stress is starting to get to me.. more along the lines of deadlines, REMEMBERING stuff.. (which I'm oh so horrible at) and also other stuff... but we won't get into details.

I think the actual having a lot of stuff to do within a minimal amount of time is the biggest problem, especially since I'm a REALLY slow reader and I have to read two books with a good deal amount of pages due for reading assignments out of each of them... -.-;

Not only that, but being away from home for the first time is starting to get to me too.. I mean I understand now that I'm on my own and I have to remember to eat right (although I have a TERRIBLE sweet tooth) and to pay my tuition on time (haha already paid it for this month)

But what's stressing me out the most is time.. I mean I got a Peer Adviser (came with one of my classes) and I have to meet with her every week.. but she was telling me to map out a time schedule showing what I do in a normal week... and "theoretically" you're suppose to study two hours per every unit that you take.. and I'm currently taking 13... however, I don't have 26 hours of study per a week, but closer to 20.. and there's a lot of stuff that I want/need to do.. such as hit the pool/gym and exercise.. aside from my yoga class I take every Monday and Wednesday morning.

Not only this.. but the work load is getting a bit too heavy.. but it's more that I have to deal with myself and find the damn off button for my procrastination... I've found it for the most part (no I'm not procrastinating now)

I think the only things that are holding me together right now are my boyfriend, apple juice, drawing, music and human interaction (who'd have thunk it to the latter two)

I think drawing for the most part is helping me with stress.. along with learning how to CG color.. although I haven't done much due to my recent obtaining of FFVII for the computer...

If anyone has some good stress relieving methods.. please PM me or comment.. besides physical exercise.. (cause I'm going to try that one today)
