Couldn't sign on for a couple of days but finally managed, I was getting panicky ( ha, ha).
I did speak with my english teacher, what an amazing passionate teacher with a terrific sense of humor. She said not to stress myself out, I told her that I think it's best that I take the course again in January/09. You see we have the option of completing all of our courses in 3 semesters. She also told the class on Thursday that the purpose of the she gives us is not to stress us out, if we do make mistakes we are to learn from them and apply them in the future.
I guess the pressure I put on myself only adds to things, you see I am a perfectionist - Type A personality you know.
So I have decided at this point to concentrate on my Power Point presentation for my Career Path class & I am having a ball. I have never worked with PowerPoint so I am teaching myself. I also have 2 computer exams to write or I could also complete this course next semester. We'll see how it goes.
As for me very busy now days with school and homework. We are getting 3 weeks off for Christmas vacation & I'm thinking what the heck am I going to do as my days are so structured now. I still have a very hard time trying to slow down and take time for things like meditation.
Thanks for checking in on me, I appreciate it. How are you doing?
I'm pretty busy these days with school and all that english homework, I seem to always be on the go. When I get home from class I can't stay in for long I just want to out for a walk. This is quite a problem for me as I can't seem to slow down for very long. Slowing down signifies losing control, focusing on thoughts, no distractions. There has to be a balance some place, some day - I hope.
Sorry to hear about you feeling hyper - been there - done that so they say. I guess it's better than being anxious or depressed, you think?
Thanks for the pats on the back, I could feel them through your words of encouragement. As for rewarding myself, no way all I can focus on is what I can't do. Oh yeah, I did one thing to reward myself which is unusual for me. I bought myself a pair of earrings I really likes to celebrate my graduation from 1st semester. I guess I've never been the rewarding kind, never too late to start eh?
As for people saying he was just a cat, to me they are the people who couldn't possibly understand because they have never had a pet. I can totally understand your feelings as I love cats and dogs. I do not have any pets of my own but I do love a lot of other people's pets. My mum & I just got back from a friend's house who has a little sweetie pie of a scottish terrier named George. You wouldn't believe this little guy when you go in he comes over for a pat & then immediately rolls over on his back for you to rub his tummy. My arm was starting to get sore I was rubbing his tummy for quite a while, he looked so content I thought he was sleeping.
Although I can't give you advise on how to deal with your grief I empathize with you, to me pets are like part of your family.
I am sorry for your loss, just remember what they say that time heals all wounds.
Thank you both for your words of comfort. Not really feeling too good at this point, PA;s and quite a lot of them!
I went to relaxation class tonight & had a couple there too I just don't know what's going on!
I was feeling good before class & then when we were doing our breathing relaxation on the mats I suddenly got panicky. This really bothers me, I know just perpetuating the feedback loop but I try to analyze why! I had a good day at school well except for one thing a classmate said that upset me, other than that it was good.
Anyone had PA's just appear out of no where after a long lapse?
Thank you for setting the record straight as to the possible cause(s). On a more positive note (me positive - whoa) I really had a good class this morning, we saw a film. It was hilarious. The weather isn't too bad here right now, mild & hooray no snow on the ground - yet.
You are so right I gave up trying to analyze the cause last night. It must be that analytical Accounting nature of mine, it's ok for some things but not PA's. I will try to find better ways to deal with them if they re-surface.
And thank-you for pointing out that I am more able to overcome them, I hadn't thought of that.
Well right now I'm trying to finish my PowerPoint (PP) presentation for class tomorrow. I had never worked on PP before this so I basically taught myself and enjoying every minute of it.
I can't believe it but our 2nd semester is beginning Jan 8/09 & we had to sign up for our courses yesterday. Boy time really flies.
