Music Addict

Busy in her first gig and wondering what happened to all the frivolity.

Usually I get stressed about midterms and then just muddle my way through them, one all-nighter at a time. These midterms are twisting my brain to the point of paralysis. I can't seem to finish them and what's worse is I've been complaining about them for weeks because they have dragged on that long. I don't know if I'm being too hard on myself or if this is the difference between grad and undergrad...it feels like writing a dictionary of possible knowledge in 3-4 pages a question. And all the advice, rules, restrictions, and preferences are swirling around in my head and making me second-guess every word. I have to chill out. Whew...
