I'm so tired of the pressure to perform...
The time constraints on productivity and creativity...
The ever looming papers, projects, deadlines...
It seems like ALL the fun has been sucked out of school this semester...
I have no motivation to push myself and excel...
I am simply "doing to get done" which is almost like being a traitor to my over-achiever self,
yet perhaps it's realistic when the pot is bubbling over.. something's gotta give..
I'm tired of avoiding the inevitable...yet anxious about the next few weeks.
The last 6 months of my life have been:
crazy, amazing, unstable, frustrating, beautiful, unpredictable,
comforting, unnerving, slow, full, fast
and a rollercoaster for sure..
1/2 year of marriage +
Semester 3 of 6 =
SO ready for Christmas break!

The latest and greatest
Since Xanga is now a wasteland
of profiles and private lives..
the ultimate question is:
Where do you share your
thoughts/ feelings/ frustrations
now?
I'm very curious about new ways of coping and
places to put bits of ourselves.
Thanks!

Pressed but not crushed
I'm feeling a little antsy lately..Between all the papers and treatment plans that
keep me strapped to the computer
and the lack of sunshine and warmth.- oh fall..
I'm finally feeling more creative from the inside out
(ya know that internal desire to just make it happen)
But i'm feeling pressed for time to actually get into my studio...
For being such a creative field (art therapy)
I am feeling smothered by the coursework.
Reading reading reading, sit , write, sit , sit , write..
AAH!!
Instead of complaining, I'll now ponder the possibilities
of how I can make time work for me..
Off to prioritize and focus on time management..
and of course, a treatment plan.

Xanga is a waste land... sad
Its like classmates that hit their prime in high school and have since faded away..
All the hype and attention for a time.. and then silence.

Back on the merry-go-round
It has been so long.. and so much life has happened since I wrote last.
It's a whole different life, with some familiar characters. We are in St. Louis, renting a fabulous house, creating a life together. Working hard, very busy. Life is full right now.
There have been alot of ups and downs..and I find myself in the middle of another semester of grad school loving what I'm doing, yet hating the pace as which we're running.
A classmate shared how she is planning on slowing down her schedule next semester to give herself time to explore, research, absorb and enjoy it all. I feel that need as well and am almost jealous to think of what that would really be like..
Right now I should be writing a treatment plan, but this is called self-care. One cannot help others, until they first help themselves.
