Mid-Term Updates

With the assignment deadlines creeping nearer, I'm starting to feel the overwhelming stress of the workload.

Writing down the deadlines on a piece of paper helps me cope with them. It relieves my anxious mind from rehearsing them over and over again for fear of my forgetfulness.

My chronic sinus problem, exacerbated by my elevated cortisol levels and the haze, isn't helping too. The realization that my savings are depleting also adds a cognitive load of money management. My uncooperative phone, which hangs every other moment, makes me jaded too.

My natural reaction to these dark times would be to abdicate responsibilities. And I have chosen to relinquish some, to my misfortune I would say.

Would my alter ego come out to help me cope already? Come on! Where are you?

Here am I.
