My music keeps me sane.
It seems like with all of my classes this track, I can barely keep up with assignments. It's impossible to keep up with readings. I wake up around 6:30 every morning to spend two hours studying before my first class. From then on out, until 11:00 at night, I only spend a few hours of the day (if I'm lucky...or procrastinating) not in class or preparing for class.
I have found a very useful technique to keep from screaming right here in the middle of the library. (Ha, like blogging is going to help my stress level.) I've made a playlist on my iTunes called "Relaxation." 92.6% (rough estimate...it may be wrong. I'm an English, not a math, major.) of the songs are instrumental hymns. It's amazing how much more I'm able to accomplish when I feel peaceful and relaxed.
The past month has given me a new respect to my parents. For most of my childhood, they were in school, working, and dealing with their four crazy chitlins. Now, I'm having a hard time being just a student with only myself to deal with. How they were able to handle all of life and school is beyond me.
