I am going to make the attempt to study during their party today. We will be taking them and a couple of their friends ice skating, and since I don't skate, I'm hoping I can find a corner to tuck myself away in at the rink and go over the chapter a few times. I also need to finish up the rest of my homework, do the take home test and finish the take home sheet of problems we were given.
I'm finding this very frustrating. I spent about 8 hours with my books yesterday, and feel like I didn't get very far. Today I've gotten in about 2 hours before I had to set things aside in preparation for people to start arriving in a few minutes. I'm hoping after the party this afternoon I can maybe disappear to the library to try and get more done. If I stay here at home I won't get anything done between the needs of the family and the call of laundry (of which I'm so far behind I need to beg Hubby to help out).
I don't feel stressed very often, but today I'm definitely feeling it. The squeezing grip around my heart and the buzzing inside of my head; the nonstop shaking of my hands and increased respiration; all screaming at me that I need to spend more time with my books.
I definitely need to take a chill pill before I give myself a heart attack. This was so much easier when I was in high school and first starting college 20+ years ago. I had much less stress and a big "give a damn" attitude that helped to alleviate, if not eliminate the stresses of those times.
I don't suppose anyone out there has a time machine so I can go back and kick my younger self in the butt for not doing this right the first time?
