Stress

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 29, 2012, 9:43 PM


So it's February 29.
Almost didn't notice today. It's 11:30 PM where I am right now.
Pretty great day. Everyone gets an extra day every four years.
I have my Calculus 3 Final tomorrow. I need to do really really well on it to pass the course. I've been stressed out the past couple days.
I don't remember what kind of stress I was under last year at this time. February that is, not the 29th since we didn't get this wonderful day last year.
I've been clearing out my deviantart. Clearing it of old pieces that don't represent my current skill as an artist. Or pieces I think will detract from my other work.
I noticed in my gallery stats, before removing things, that last February I submitted 29 pieces of art. that was 29 pieces of art in 28 days. I must have been under a lot of stress.
I think I do my best work under stress. Over the summer I accomplished almost nothing as far as my artwork goes. I was completely free of stress. I had fun over the summer, yes, but I didn't accomplish anything. Nothing significant at least.
With less than a half hour left in this day, I'm finding relief from my stress, which is more than likely not a good thing. With one day left in this hellish quarter of school, I possibly need to be more stressed than I have ever been to make it through, yet I feel so relaxed right now I could melt in my chair.
A lot has happened this school quarter.
Hopefully a lot happens next school quarter too. I enjoy accomplishing things. Though the amount of stress I've been under these past few weeks may be a bit more than I would like to handle on average, I've come to appreciate what stress can do for one's productivity.
Basically what I'm getting at is that whoever may read this (since I know not many people probably will), keep yourself busy. A little stress never hurt anybody.
Now, I should probably stop this rant, which likely doesn't make any sense, and get back to my Philosophy essay.
