Since this is the forum section is for general discussion-y business I thought I would post this here

I thought we needed a sort of...friends thread...you can just come in here, post how your day went and talk to others about your issues without any judgement or anything. Just a one stop shop of discussion and friend making whose-whats-it.

Yeah!

~~^{So....I should start right?}~~

Well

Today I discovered something...amazing and stupendous...stupid...haha. I am about...3/4 the way through Semester 1 of my 2nd year at University (I don't know if I told everyone what Im actually studying haha I'm doing a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Arts. A double degree so that I can teach high school. When I leave I will have a teaching licence thingo and for my Arts degree, a major in History, and two minors: Creative Writing and English). Anyways, last year I had the problem of procrastination, which I still do, and I would always end up handing things in at the last second or a day or two late. So today when I discovered this (this = explained in a second below) I am thinking I did it on purpose.

'This' is the fact that on my Calendar at home, I have just realised today that all my assessments are written in a week earlier then they are actually due. So for the past month I have been stressed beyond all belief because I was struggling at Uni and handing things in days late and just a lot of struggling to keep up. So much so that I started seeing a physch (it wasn't just the struggling at school but a build up of that and other things) because of all the stress, anxiety and depression in my life. I was convinced I was failing most of my classes because I was handing things in so late and each day an assessment is late you loose 10% of your possible grade at my University.

So today when I discovered my calendar was a week early...I swear I was so happy I could have started crying. On the verge of tears.

This meant that it is possible I am not failing all my classes and it just made me so beyond happy because Uni was stressing me out so badly.

So...yeah...that has been my day so far...this is kinda nice...writing out what happens in my days...therapeutic almost...maybe I should start like a blog or something...I dunno lol I hope you all enjoyed reading my story of pure joy. I cannot wait to hear how your day is going ^-^ So please post below and let me know

Haha, nice to hear about your day! I was also a terrible procrastinator in college and remember many late nights writing darn lab reports. Chemistry lab reports always got me; they were so dry and sterile...

My day was good too. My spring/summer job is food services at a youth camp; I'm working under an awesome ex-British military cook and having a ton of fun. We got everything done in good time and got off early and I found out I have essentially four days off over Mother's Day. Was quite pleased.

We joke about how all Canadians do is sit around and talk about Americans. I'm the token American, so any questions or comments on USA's politics/health insurance/military get directed to me. I really don't care, so it's become a point of hilarity as to what I can come up with to field said comments. History, politics and world events are... not the first thing on my mind ever, especially when all my news is filtered through the internet before it reaches me, or anyone else here. The more worked up people here get about events that have nothing to do with them, the more entertained I am. I probably shouldn't take my pleasures so contemptibly, but it's a very small group of people and laughter is preferable to taking offense at something and firing back.

That's what my day is like!

Even though the two countries are considered developed and such I have always loved the striking contrasts that exist between them

Ha Snow! I love the fact how you almost like tricked yourself into believing the deadlines were a week earlier. I tried that kind of stuff when I had a had time getting out of bed. (putting the alarm clock one hour forward, so i'd think I'd overslept) but because I did it on purpose, I'd always remember and know it wasnt true, so it never really worked out for me. As to procrastinating (never heard of that word before! haha) I can't handle that, putting things off until the end. Especially with group assignments, Im always one of the first to hand em in. But that's only because I know I will get sick (migraine, terrible, terrible migraine) if I do put it off until the last seconds and get very stressed out. So yeah it isnt that big of an issue for me anymore, luckily!
And Kal, you gotta love your down-to-earthness! ha! And you are absolutely right,better have a laugh about it, that start a fight! Even if you win the discussion or whatever, your body and mind will both feel stressed out after such a debate, xD

And as for my day, well my parents live in Canada, my mom moved there a year ago, but my dad went a bit earlier cause they bought a little store, and he had to run it. So he went a few years back (3 or so). And now my mom decided to come back and visit holland (were I live) for three weeks. So yesterday we (me and my two brothers) went to my grandmothers, where my mom would also be! It is funny cause I had been looking forward to it so badly, but it was like my mom never really left (mainly because I spoke to her two days ago on skype, so.. haha) But that was fun

Seeing my mom again. And my brothers! I hadnt seen them in months, while one of em lives in the same city as I do! So not a lot of things happened, but it was good to see my mom again!

That was about it, as far as my day goes!
