I am so stressed right now

[guanin]

And what is so ridiculous about that is I'm stressing myself out. It's not schoolwork; I don't even have any. This is the easiet semester in seven years of college. I know that next semester I'm going to get pummeled in grad school, though, so I've been considering this as a bit of a vacation. It gives me time to write and that's the reason why I'm feeling like this. I finally tried giving myself a deadline to finish something, because I need to learn time management, (although really I have another fic idea encroaching on my mind that's not letting me concentrate) and combined with the interminable process of getting into grda school, I got myself so worked up and I didn't even notice until now. I'm writing this down just to give my brain space to breathe. I didn't know that self imposed deadlines could be as stressful as professor imposed ones. And I still have to fill out transcript request forms and write the statement of purpose for the last university. I've had the application sitting on a shelf with both letters of reference for like two weeks. Ayayay.

:((( *hugs* Deadlines are always a problem for me, too. "I'll finish the fic tomorrow, I promise!" And then I um. Don't. So you're not alone.

Thanks! I feel better now, since I successfully met the deadline. Yay! It's the first time I've been able to do that. I'm like that, too. I always say, "I'm going to finish it today", the three days later I'm still working on it. Stupid never ending stories.
