Too Much Stress

   Even though this week has been a short one, it has been extremely rough and stressful for me. I ended up having to go the hopsital yesterday because I had some sort of attack or something. I was in Biology, just sitting there listening to my teacher talk and explain the note, and all of a sudden I felt like I couldn't draw in breaths. It was really freaky.
  

   I spent 2 hours in the emergency room, and got an ECG. It was very annoying. They stuck theses little sticker things all over me, which were only necessarry for about two seconds. When I went to take them off, I discovered they were not exactly stickers, but stuck to me with this glue stuff. It was painful to take off. Then I had glue residue all over me. After all of that, my heart was totally fine. They also checked my blood sugar, which was fine, but painful because they stick you with a little needle-like thing. I hate needles. I still have the mark on my finger.

   They kept asking me if there was anything that was causing me stress, or making me anxious. They were trying to imply that it was a panic attack, or something of that nature, but I was completely fine before it happened, relaxed even. Nothing to cause me to panic. In the end, they said they couldn't figure out what happened, and let me go home. But if it happens again I will have to get more extensive tests.

   I really just want this week to be over. I only have done two full days of school, but the work and other things are just making me so tired. I come home after school and I don't want to do anything.

   Kayla, your advice on the inner editor is amazing. Some days I just want to kill him. I am doing homework, trying so hard to just get it finished, and the nagging feeling to go back and change something tends to make the entire process so much longer.

   *Places pillow upon the desk* Allow me to soften the blow of that headdesk, Kate. The weekend is coming up, so make sure you do some relaxing along with your studying. I tend to not study very well for exams, which causes a lot of stress for me.

   I adore the rainbow of colours, Katie!  ^.^ It looks so cool. I am just getting into classics this year. We are currently studying The Great Gatsby, and I absolutely love it. As for The Odyssey, I haven't read it, but I know a lot of the stories from it, as I am kind of a mythology nerd. And to answer your question, I think a genius is someone who is able to question things, and find answers where other people don't see questions or answers. If that makes any sense. It probably doesn't.

   I loved the title of your post, Adam. I can't wait to hear the song. As I have no knowledge of music, the chords you wrote about just baffle me. Also, you said that you don't go farther than 15 minutes from home each day. That seems just nuts to me. I have to take a half hour bus ride to and from school every day. Then again, that's also nuts to me. I hate the ride.

   Kira, don't be too sad. Canada misses you too. Here are some pictures for you. A winter picture from when I lived out at the lake, because we will soon be plagued by the demon cold snow. A deer, because I had it in my files and we have lots of them here. And my favourite sunset, to calm your homesickness.

   I hope you guys have better weeks than I have, and that your weekends are made of awesome. Don't forget to be awesome, 'cause you all make my week so much better.   : )
