I think that the reason I have been putting off writing in the blog is that I don't think I have much exciting or happy to write about. I am feeling very overwhelmed this semester...like I am drowning in things to do. I am feeling like a failure at the moment. Things will get better I am sure. I must get these papers finished. I don't know what it is...you can totally get yourself to the point where you just feel like it's impossible for you to complete a task that is normally no problem for yourself. Perhaps if I could do the paper outloud and turn it in that way..hmmmm. That's me at the moment.
I am doing loads and loads of laundry. When I got to the point where I am wearing blue sleep pants...red tshirt..different color blue Breathitt sweatshirt..black socks..and tennis shoes out in public..then you know it is time to do laundry. I just had piles upon piles in my room.
After years of hearing it from others, it is only now as I am living by myself that I admit there in no denying it...I use lots of toliet paper. Although in my defense I go to the bathroom alot in terms of frequency. Double rolls are a must for me.

Heya Jessica. I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I'm so stressed out these days. I think the secret to climbing out of a mound of ever-increasing work, though, is, as silly as it sounds, is to just get it done. Force yourself to take the first step (as painful as it may be) and then force yourself to take the second and so on. Sometimes when you have a lot of work to do it can be paralyzing. When that happens, the best thing to do is just to start on something, anything. It doesn't have to be nobel prize quality stuff. Do a half-ass job (b/c your half-ass job, remember, is better than most people's hard work!), do anything to get it done. Then start all over and do it again. Crossing things off your to do list will make you feel A LOT better and A LOT less stressed out.
It's just the first step that's the toughest. But once you get on a roll, your life will get better. I promise!
Good luck, and email or call if you need a shoulder :)
