Point One (and it's a big one): Friday's doctor appointments went very well and I don't have anything scary! I do know what was wrong with me, and it was a one time thing, meaning that it probably won't reoccur. But for a while there, I was completely frustrated because nobody knew anything.
Point Two: I'm now only writing two papers. For my 856 class, the prof is letting me take the final exam instead of writing a paper. Yeah for him! Yeah for me! But in reality, I still haven't started writing either of them, so I should stop procrastinating.
Point Three: I have income. The German Saturday School of SF has hired me as a teacher's assistant. Kim works there as well, but as a teacher. I'm hopeful that it'll go well, especially since I'm just assisting. The only problem is that it's a measly three hours a week. But it definitely gives me some experience with teaching. Happy.
As those are the only points of unstress in my life right now, I'm going to stop. There are still hotspots of stress (i.e. finding another part-time job, Em's Chicago stuff, the hole in the living room ceiling due to water leakage, etc.), but I find it's better not to talk about those things that stress you out. Because then you're stressed out. Normally, I can talk things out with someone and the stress kinda fades away. This time, if I even think about things, my heart beats faster and I can't help but feel lost, helpless and totally out of order. But I've come up with a plan, I'm going to talk to a professional at school. Especially since some of the stress stuff is school-related, talking to someone who helps de-stress grad students for a living might be a good idea.
Oh and I apologize in advance for this week: My hormones are up and down due to womanly exsanguination. Sorry....
