when all your dreams come true…right? I think lately I’ve been making myself more unhappy than I actually am, and I need to stop. There’s kind of a collective culture of stress among first years at the moment, and it’s happened all year, but I think I actually have less reason to be stressed out now than I did the first quarter, or even last quarter. I actually work on my projects a lot each week, and that’s all that I can really expect. Substantial progress would be nice, but it’s not going to happen all in one week, so there’s no point in stressing out about that. The competitive stressed-out-ness is starting to bother me, and I’m glad I’m not in the same office as a bunch of other first years.
I may have made my flight reservations too soon =(. There are two different end-of-class/finals week dates given on the calendar, one for grads and one for undergrads. I went by the grad one, which is a week earlier, but it seems I might have been mistaken…I might have to arrange to send in a final exam remotely, or else change my flights. But I hope not, *fingers crossed*.
