Day Two
Hundred and Sixty-Seven: Being an Adult
is Hard
In yoga
before we start everything we set an intention for ourselves to accomplish, and
usually I set one for the week. For
example I want to make time for myself, or be more focused. In today’s class I set the intention that a
month from now I will be as calm as I am now.
It’s been nearly a month into this term, only two full months of classes
remain, which technically means I’m just about a third of the way done classes
for this term. And I am incredibly
calm. I’ve been taking everything
day-by-day, and not psychng myself out, and going with the flow. IT’s been helpful, if not therapeutic when it
comes to dealing with the stress of coursework.
Yes, I become stressed about my workload from time-to-time, and
sometimes my room becomes completely cluttered and I eat out more than usual
and neglect seeing people, but those times are to be expected. What’s getting to me right now is that I
haven’t become overwhelmed quite yet, and although that is bound to change I
hope that I will have the grace that I have in this moment to take it as it
comes, and not get worried about it.
Growing up
has brought responsibility and struggles and worries with the journey, my pack
has been filled to the brim with things to think about, and yet I have lately
been able to completely shut off my thoughts, or atleast relate them to a
focused term. In my case it’s been Dr.
Who, and some other mundane tasks like showering and walking, just kind of “me”
time completely. I shut out the world
and am in my own, just in my own. It’s
hard enough to explain how calm I am in comparison to previous terms where
everything becomes too much. Maybe once
a play or two is due in playwrighting I will get more bogged down with
coursework, but again, I do hope that I will compose myself and take time, you
know?
In other
news I desperately feel like knitting. I
cannot wait to start these projects I’ve got in mind, maybe after Halloween I’ll
be able to speak about such Christmas-y projects, but for another month I’ll
have to come up with more appropriate and relevant topics. Such as today and how bizarre it is that I
haven’t had a massive flip out yet.
Maybe this is just the calm before the storm…
Here’s
hoping I’ve just grown out of those times and will remain calm and cool all
term!
