I did get wet! LOL. I just take quick baths/showers.

My kitty is here! (Leo, the orange one)

He loves to climb around my room.

"Nakey time" indeed.

Huh, always brown socks! Just like my dad, he has too only brown ones.

I have just noticed 2 things:

Today is "nakey time" as he wrote
Secondly Greg is a scoundrel too: when he was hanging he didn't wear a shoe but when he fell he wore them.

Oh, a real French guy.

Adieu, Greg!

Aww Gav, I got home 20 minutes ago but I've been sitting w/ my cat who's been cuddling w/ me and lying on me, I couldn't get up.

ok time for ali to rant cuz shes not having a good day.

ok my mom was bitching at me because my sorority bill was sent to her instead of me for some reason, and how she can't afford that extra bill, and blah blah even though she said she would help me pay for it, and now shes not..so i'm super frustrated about that.i have an aunt who is in rehab right now for drinking, and so the whole family is super stressed about that..and when my mom gets stressed she kinda takes it out on me a little bit. and i dont' have time to deal with that added stress on me right now.

ok my dad...he doesn't support me in anything i do. he doesn't want me to transfer, hes making me go with him and my stepmoms family for thanksgiving, he always just makes me feel like a terrible person because i change my mind, and i make mistakes. and for some reason, thats not allowed. but hes still fine, and he thinks everything is ok. but now, i keep calling him and emailing him, and he keeps not responding to me. he hasn't called me back since this past weekend, and he hasn't returned any of my emails. and i don't like being ignored by him cuz i know that he does it when hes mad at me for something. so its annoying.

ok classes...my theatre costuming class is kicking my butt. we had to do 10 sketches for this play "the birds" by aristophanes. well, my teacher didn't like my idea for when/where to set it, so she gave me what to do. and i did the sketches, and she decided she didn't like them. so she gave me 2 days to redo all ten. so i'm finishing those now. and i had to write a costume review of another show that we had to go see, but she didn't tell us how to write one. so i pulled it out of the air. no clue what she'll give me on it. i'm terrified i'm gonna fail this class, and if i do, its not TOO big a deal cuz i don't need it, but it will bring down my GPA a ton and then transferring won't really be an option. so i need to have a good grade, but i just can't do all the work.

ok piano...so i haven't been practicing as much as i have to. i should be practicing 24 hours a week, and i just can't. last week i practiced 14, and my teacher yelled at me. i'm just not good enough right now..i'm not cutting it. i need to be better than i am. so this week i've been really trying to bump up my hours of practice..and today i only got 2 hours in. yesterday i only got 3. i should be at about 3 1/2 hours a day. and i'm not. i just can't do it. i have so many classes and so much other work that i don't have time to practice that much too.

ok and so i haven't slept in like, 9 days. i normally try to go to bed around midnight or 1,...but then i lay there and think of things that i need to do and didn't, or need to do the next day...i normally end up getting up and doing more work, then going back to bed at 2 or 3, then i just lay there and i'll sleep for like an hour, then wake up and lay there for an hour. and i just wanna sleep. i just want one restful night where i don't have to worry about what i need to do the next day. i'm soooo exhuasted and tired and i just can't function. during the day, all i wanna do is sleep, but i dont' have time. i barely even have time to eat anymore..which reminds me..i didn't even eat dinner tonight.

i miss kyle. hes my best friend from home, for those of you who don't know. hes always been there for me through everything. but now, hes 1000 miles away and we've kind of stopped making time for each other. in dec, we're taking a 4 day trip to NYC together, just me and him, and he says he misses me and everything, but i really do miss him. i just miss having him around for the stupid stuff, like going to the grocery store at 1 am, or driving 2 hours to go see his dad for dinner, or playing in the rain late at night...and yeah, i never dated him, but i miss cuddling with him. we were always so close..best friends..and we always wanted to date, but never did...and now the chance is gone, but i still want him. its really frustrating. and he wants me to transfer to boston to be near him, but i can't let myself make a big decision like where to go to school because of a person...

ok thats all. sorry about the long post..i just..i'm really upset and sad right now and i feel like i'm gonna die soon because i have an endless work load, and i never get a break, and i don't have time for anything anymore. and its killing me.

Ali, I'm soo sorry. First off in terms of sleep, find a thread on the OT board about advice for ppl who have trouble sleeping, I made a whole post there w/ psych suggestions. It's funny, my friend who's been depressed called me b/c she hadn't been sleeping when I just took my psych test on sleep and one aspect was how to sleep if you're having trouble. Well, you're lucky b/c last thursday I took a test on 3 chapters, one of which was "health, stress, and coping." Here are some suggestions/info:

Students who strongly link everyday events to long-term goals(such as successful career and high income) tend to overreact to day-to-day disappointments. The implication is that it's important to take daily tasks one step at a time and chip away at them. That way, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed, helpless or hopeless. *insert psychologist names(IPN)* suggest that when you feel "blue," you should make a daily schedule for yourself. It is best to start w/ easy activities and progress to more difficult tasks. Check off each item as you complete it. That way, you will begin to break the self-defeating cycle of feeling helpless and further behind. A series of small accomplishments, successes, or pleasures may be all that you need to get going again. However, if you are lacking skills needed for success in college, ask for help in getting them. Don't remain "helpless"

Feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness are usually supported by self-critical and negative thoughts. IPN recommend writing down such thoughts as they occur, especially those that immediately precede feelings of sadness. After you have collected these thoughts, write a rational answer to each. When events begin to improve, try to accept it as a sign that better times lie ahead. Positive events are most likely to end depression if you view them as stable and continuing rather than temporary and fragile (Amanda really shouldn't add in the fact that after a year of fighting a breakdown, another bombshell is dropped on her that parents divorce, ulgh)

Ooh lots more on coping w/ stress...umm...me..keeping things brief...oy

Exercise helps do physical things that can lower anxiety, best if it's aerobic and done 5 times a week. Meditation helps to relax. Guided imagery is where you close your eyes and see nice, safe, calm, comfortable images. Try to deliberately do things at a lower pace. Tell yourself "what counts most is not if I get there first but if I get there at all." or "my goal is distance, not speed." Disorganization creates stress, so organize. Strike a balance--set time aside for "me acts" such as loafing, browsing, playing and napping. Recognize and accept your limits. Seek social support, and write about your feelings. Use humor to help you lighten up and feel better about your stress.

You only feel stress when you feel threatened. Threat has more to do with the idea of control. We are particularly prone to feel stressed when we can't, or think we can't, control our immediate environment. A perceived lack of control is just as threatening as an actual lack of control. It also helps to believe you can reach your desired goals.

If you want any more details of things I skimmed through, lemme know. And pay special attention to the idea of control, that I can apply to my situation--you do have control. Thinking I had no control lead to my breakdown...if I saw I just couldn't handle things I could have just come home(which I did nayway) but not so depressed and avoid the hospital, etc, but I couldn't see that option. Not that I'm saying htat's what you should do, but try thinking out of the box on ways you can help control things to not feel stressed.

Damnit, psychology is so much more interesting than English essays...

Looks like a nice cam day. I'll post later, my review of Thou Shalt Not. Suprisingly, it was actually GOOD! (not great hehe but good). Just as a preview:

Norbert goes through the whole show with his Sgt Benson accent. All Norbert lovers will not enjoy Norbert's character's rather extreme and violent death scene. That is all.

Fine, Gav. I am still waiting to hear from Nobert before I do the great big stuff (pun attended). I really want to hear his insight before I spend hours on things he doesnt want. However, I have about 70% of the site ready to go. Right now I am working to make sure every picture I use on the site is properly credited. The fan book is my current project as well. Oh and I started work on the book version of my play. 1000 words down, 120,000 more to go. Oh boy....
