Basically, I am a giant ball of stress right now, which has resulted in me clearing my schedule of all events which would have brought joy into my life, including a going away party for a very good friend moving back to the other side of the world, and a banquet which would have been a very good time, all because currently I am borderline incapable of human contact. It is for the best. I am protecting the lives of those around me who may accidentally stumble and trip onto the path of my wrath.
The good news is that I am officially finished 3 out of 5 classes (well, technically 6 classes I guess). So that has fortunately brought some relief to my ire.
The bad news is that I have 2 papers and a power point presentation due by Tuesday. But once that's over, I have the luxury of concentrating every second freaking out over my thesis until April 15th. And if you're anything like me, rather than sitting down and just getting shit done, you'd rather spend time numbing your mind to your reality by doing things that contribute nothing to your existence or current responsbilities.
So that's where we're at.
It's consistent with the neural representations:
ReplyDeletethesis- prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe, neocortex
2nd thesis thingie- roughly around the limbic system- amygdala- fear, anger
sleep- hindbrain
other papers- again, roughly around limbic system and neocortex
stress eating- fear-amygdala- limbic system also hypothalamus + other structures with eating and whatnot
Haha, I am such a psychology nerd =P
What can I say, I'm a prodigy : P
