Well, it might be a surprise to some of you high-school students, but in the university world we are more than half-way through the semester. My life is getting crazy with Mikado practices every night and a 25 page paper to work on during the day. And it's not just me feeling the stress! Here's the funny thing, though - it seems like socializing actually can go up a bit during times of stress. How, you ask? It's a proven fact! Take a look at this:

Now, keep in mind that a responsible student does get everything done. What suffers? You got it. Sleep! You know what they say - about how you gain energy by spending energy? It's true. If you're tired but don't want to sleep, just do something and (usually) energy will come back. It's worked for me so far!
It's really very good that reading break is over. I got far too much work done because there was no one to ever distract me. Well, now the party has started once again. Looking forward to what's in store for the rest of the semester. Take care of yourselves!
