That&#8217;s not the problem. But to fit in everything I have going on, my life has sort of become hyper-scheduled. I like routine, but I like my routine to have big spaces of nothing where I can just do whatever strikes me as a good idea to decompress. I&#8217;m really not getting that this semester. Most of that kind of time in my schedule is being eaten up by driving to St. Louis for my appointments and such. It&#8217;s 5-6 hours of free time I&#8217;d have every week eaten up by it. I mean, it&#8217;s not wasted time, but it is time I am losing.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know. Maybe I haven&#8217;t been sleeping right. Maybe I still haven&#8217;t gotten into the swing of things. But feeling stressed sucks. I used to run away from it and basically failed two years of college because of it, you know? I had thought I was pretty good at getting such things away from me. But as I think ahead to, say, when I&#8217;m going to get to continue working on Mass Effect 2 and beating it, it really gets to me, because I can&#8217;t think of a good time to do that. Much less run my KoL turns, be involved in the Twilight Heroes event, finish Forumwarz Episode 3&#8230; so many fun goals I want are just completely set aside. That sucks.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to survive without problem, you know? It&#8217;s not a problem. It&#8217;s not enough to break me. But it is certainly testing me, which is very unfortunate. I wish I could be having a low-stress time. But there&#8217;s so much happening in my life, it just doesn&#8217;t seem like it&#8217;s going to work out that way, at least not for this semester.<br \/>\nOh well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling fairly stressed lately.
