It\'s nice to have a blog, it can act as your gateway to the world. And the world has a great nack of being anonymous and non-personal. One can talk to the world very easily via a blog without fear of chat-back or insult. It can act as someone to talk to.
It\'s wierd, there are so many people I know I can turn to and talk to on a serious and emotional level. I\'m feeling quite stressed at the moment, simply because I know where I am in my long-term emotional cycle.
I\'ve been on this downward facing slope many times before and I recognise it now. My social life, Uni work, paid work, and other things take up more time than I have. There are loads of courseworks and my 3rd year project, lots of things to do at work and friends to spend time with too.
But I seem to be only getting about 4 hours of useful time out of each day however hard I try, uncontrollable apathy. I think what annoys me most is that while I\'m stressed I\'m groggy, apprehensive and confrontational with my housemates and friends.
Anyway, if I say anymore I\'ll come across more down than I am. I think I just need a few nights good sleep to get awake enough to do some productive and useful work on all these concurrent projects.

If it makes you feel any better, I\'ve also been on a bit of a downer lately too. It happens when I can\'t deal with everything that\'s being thrown at me.
My final yr at uni is going ok, but it\'s a lot of work and it\'s very stressful. My social life is seriously screwed up, seeing train crashes in the news really doesn\'t help the feeling that I\'m not in control of my life, and the frequent headaches are really starting to piss me off.

But the Christmas break is only, what, 5 weeks away.
So it's not too much to get though. At least that's what I'm telling myself to make it go quicker. If I drag it out in my head, I'll only get more stressed.

Yes, it's not too bad, only 27 days left :o) Plus, watching scrubs and playing halo 2 really helps take my mind off the deadlines!
