Stress and How To Deal With It

You know what I missed the most? Writing personal stuff in my blog. Most of the contents in my blog right now are short entries about random things.

The things that I have been up to in the past few weeks are:

·         Preparing for the finals week

Exams. Lots of it. I had to endure reviewing until the wee hours of the morning and sit for hours answering questions and problems that seem impossible to solve. Days of preparation is not enough — it should be weeks and everything should be memorized by heart. Then there are professors who won’t upload their Power Point slides. I was planning on studying on a subject over the weekend so that I’ll have at least 5-6 days of preparation, but I can’t since I had no reading materials. Lo and behold, the slides magically appeared in the UVLE 2 days before the scheduled exam. Talk about getting ready days ahead before an exam.

·         Lack of sleep

I can’t believe I was able to survive this long with just an average of 3-5 hours of sleep every night. My eye bags are screaming out in protest and it won’t be long until I’ll be trying out that Garnier’s eye roll thingy. I’ve had 9 hours of sleep yesterday but oh boy, my eyes were red and swollen and I just looked horrible (and I think that’s an understatement).

·         STRESS

Imagine dealing with stress and dysmenorrhea at the same time. How’d I cope up with it? Lashing Allen with my tantrums (SORRY LEN. =P). I’d be mad at him for petty reasons or sometimes no reason at all, and it just felt good whenever I blame him for something that’s not his fault. I know that’s sadistic and at times, he had no patience for my sumpong and fought back. Oh yeah. Those were the happy times.

·         Statistics

The reason I shifted to another course was because I hated statistics. I hate every single thing about it. I thought shifting to Metallurgical Engineering gets me away from the subject that was so hard to decipher, boy was I wrong. I still had a major on Analysis and Design of Experiments! I had to admit, the professors in my department were less harsh than those in the IE Dept. I didn’t study well for the last exam in MetE14, so I know I was going to fail. But the professors who were teaching the subject gave the students a chance to answer one of the exam questions again because out of a 100+ students, nobody passed. I still failed the exam though, but I think the score that I got was enough to make me pass the course.

Actually , there were really lots of things that I had to deal with but I’m too tired to list them all down. See? That’s how exhausted I am. I can’t even think straight. Well. Next time na lang.
