haha, moderate, moderate

I just looked up on my little blogger "create a new blog page" and saw the button "moderate comments." I thought it said "moderate" like "average, bland, fairish, not-too-extreme" instead of the intended meaning. Silly mind.

It's snowing right now, and it's weird, cause the snow falling directly next to the house next door, is falling diagonal to the right, and the snow falling directly next to my window is falling diagonal to the left. Weird snow.

I've been under a lot of stress recently, although I think i'm over most of it. It's just normal finals week again, and I really could give two shits. I'll study for the tests, hopefully do well, and that'll be it. That's the way it normally goes. But - the difference this semester, was the almighty "Group Project" times 3. Two of them are completely finished, and I just have to put the finishing touches on the third one, but man did they suck. I'm not saying that some people in the groups didn't do enough of the work, but some people in the groups didn't do enough of the work. Wow, look at the size of those snow flakes. oops. ADD. pardon me. Anyway, specifics aside, I'm not sure if I've ever been so stressed all at the same time. And I still have more work to do, but i'll tell you, sitting around for a few minutes a day and just breathing works pretty well. No seriously, take 5 min and just breathe.

Which brings me to one last thing - I've made a realization - I'm not a chill and relaxed person. I thought I was, for the longest time, but I'm really not. I mean, even when people had to tell me to CTFO (chill the [favorite f-word] out), the thought never crossed my mind that I don't just chill much. It actually hit me when I asked claire "you would describe me as a chill person right?" Her reply: "Umm, not really.." It scared me at first that I'm not this person that I thought I was, but I think i'm good with it now, because i really enjoy decompressing now. and i'm working on relaxing a lot more. It's good for me. Maybe i'll live longer or something too. Nice.

good luck with everything this week everybody

unfortunately I too have recently become all too well aware of my lack of "chill", like you I thought I was pretty good about it till liz reminded me otherwise... a stupid argument later and I realize (as usual) that she was exactly right... maybe it'll be my new year's resolution
