I've always said I perform best under pressure. This fact, while true, is starting to really make me mad. I wish I did not. As hard as I try to be a good student, preparing ahead, working ahead, and just simply structuring my life months, weeks and days in advance never seems to work. I'm not quite sure if this fact deals with an avoidance tactic towards life or simply an inherent understanding of how I work under pressure, but frankly, I'm beyond "over" my work ethic.

I swear I entered 2007 prepared to work ahead, not fall behind, and plan accordingly. Guess what? It didn't work. It's currently in the cross-roads of the end of the final week of the quarter and finals week - I started writing this during that time, it's now actually finals week, but the date will not prove this truth). Needless to say, I have a lot to do, and not a lot of time in which to do it.

Stressed? Yes. Wishing I could hide this stress? Of course! Ready for a break? Who's not?

I'm tired, exhausted, emotionally drained, and it's not even Wednesday. It's going to be a long week, isn't it?
