Sometimes, you just get a little stressed out. It’s usually on a day you least expect it, usually happens on your busiest day, and occasionally comes in the form of too many things on your mind than you can count. I’m talking about that bad stress, the kind that sends your emotions and reactions into a freakish uproar.
For me, stress grips me on a full day of teaching and evening activities. Actually, I was going a little crazy earlier this week… make that a couple days ago. Truth to tell, I wasn’t even that busy.
Why was I so stressed out, you ask? It’s because there’s a lot going through my mind, and when there’s a lot going through my mind, it’s so easy to get stressed out before I even start working.
Stress arises from a lot of pressure, and with my unpredictable teaching job, keeping up a blog, and working on a trilogy, some things that need to be done slip between the cracks (last Sunday’s showcase, for one). On top of that, I’ll be ending my JET Programme contract at the end of July and moving back to Canada. It’s only April, but moving day is already getting a little too close for comfort, and I have a hefty list to take care of beforehand. Not to mention I have no idea what I’m going to do when I get back. I’ll be starting from square one all over again, the bottom of the work status chain.
