I usually break down once a semester. It usually happens towards the middle to end of the semester when all of the sudden everything is due and I have 3 big tests. It mainly happens because I start thinking of all the things I have to do and overload my brain. Then, Jake has to take my hand, pet my head and tell me everything will be alright, just take one step at a time. And with a deep breath, I usually calm down. No biggie. :o)
Well, I had my semester break down last week... in the third week of school! What? Yea. So this week I have been out of touch with the world (I haven't seen anyone in forever or read many blogs...sorry). I've been hiding in our house, trying to finish all these art projects... self portrait for my painting class, several pots for clay, and a story board for digital design. On Tuesday night, as I was sitting at the computer (for what seemed like hours), struggling with Photoshop. It doesn't help that I am exhausted from waking at 6a, M-Th. So I just started crying.
Work... school...art projects...I have to clean the house at some point, it is a mess! There are still boxes everywhere from moving... there are dishes in the sink, there are walls to be painted, and furniture to paint. What is for dinner tonight? I don't feel like cooking. How long do I have sit at the computer and work on this?! This is due at 8am tomorrow! Jake is going to need to use the computer later. I want to sleep. I still need to finish my painting. Blah blah blah blah.
Why do I do this to myself? I start thinking of all the things I need to do and freak myself out. But if I just take one step at a time, one project at a time, and manage my time well...everything will work out fine.
But Agh! I am ready to be out of school. I want to be able to come home, sit on the couch and not worry about all the things I need to do for school. Ah, to be able to leave school at school and come home to relax.
I did get my work done this week/weekend but it came at an expense. I stressed out so much about everything that I got myself sick. Sniffles, coughing, congestion, etc. It is wonderful to wake up at 6am and feel sick also! :oP
So here's to my bi-annual breakdown becoming more of a regular thing... at least for this semester. The wonders of art majors and 3 studio classes... 3 hours each. Cheers.

you are so silly! art classes are a beating and I can't imagine taking three in one semester. the most I ever had was 2 and that was in summer school! hate to tell you but there's not a lot of times that you can just go home and relax once you are an adult. there is always something you need to be doing and don't want to. but you're right...if you manage your time, you can get by just fine. oh to be carefree and little again. No responsibilties and fun around every corner! Life is still fun, but there's a lot more work involved!
We missed you this weekend. Hope you are feeling better! Check my blog out later, I'm planning on writing one about you tonight. :)
If you figure out how to focus on one thing at a time and not stress about all the rest - let me know!!! You are a very talented and dedicated young woman and you need to give yourself a break!!! And, I missed hearing your golden voice at Growth Group last night! )
Oh Tanya, how I do feel for you! If it's any consolation, I feel the same way sometimes--the very familiar "Too much to do and not enough time" scenario. I wish I could just cry and feel better; my tendency is to get . . . well, testy. I'm sure my family will back me up on that! Hmmm . . . I guess I ought to work on that . . . . Anyway, I wondered where you were yesterday and missed you at Growth Group. Get well soon!
Hang in there girlfriend! Before long, you will be in the midst of your career, painting for money, instead of a grade! And I'll be sitting on the sidelines waiting for a loan! Ha!! Love you! Feel better!
