short update
Nov. 5th, 2007 12:54 amLogistically, coping well with school. I think I'm looking at an A- average for the term, but we'll see when things are done playing out. I just got a ten out of ten on something I handed in, so that's always nice, especially knowing that the class average was around 8.5.
I reached that burn out point where the school workload no longer bothers you; where the fact that there is always work you could be working on or should be working on doesn't matter, and where you start to reassert sanity in terms of prioritizing your work. Deadlines make that possible and grade scales make it possible for me to not get too neurotic or paranoid about the quality of the work. In real life, I think a lack of staggered deadlines and clear regular feedback on a meaningful scale were a big problem for me.
In my head I'm feeling pretty nutso. It's a functional nuts, but it's there and it's impacting my actions, choices, and behaviour. I'm not sure what to do about it other than talk to the therapist; we haven't really talked about this, or at least, not this exactly.
So, in short, I think my professional life is going okay, but I think my personal life (health, mental and emotional well being, social life, and love life) are all over the map and mostly in the negative.
Oh, and remember folks:
I'm not reading LJ, so if you want me to know something about you or yours, you'll have to tell me personally.
