Sorry

...I haven't blogged recently and that I've been a bit grouchy. My stress levels have been through the roof, mainly caused by a poster group project that we had to do, that virtually consumed my life some days. We seemed to have issue after issue, weren't entirely sure what we had to do, and still had to put it together by the due date yesterday morning. But remarkably everything seemed to come together and we all got over 90% for it, which was nice, made it more worth it. Today I had my Japanese Reading and Listening exams, and was convinced they weren't going to go very well, and had just about upgraded myself from a fail to a scraped pass when I entered the exam. Even doing a review at the beginning of the exam scared me, but it went well, my brain co-operated and the answers were mostly there. Thank you to those that knew about the exam and were praying, with out a doubt it helped!!

Life is generally pottering along, having to fight the dark days more than usual, and remember the good in life. My raised stress levels mean that everything gets to me that little bit more. I become that bit more clingy, cuddling teddies more often... :P but it helps, and the love and support that I have around me, makes life easier.

I still have more exams to come, but I'm hoping that things will ease of a bit, and the I'll have a chance to catch up with myself at the end of the exams before starting the next slog. Also that I will stop feeling so drained and tired all the time. I wanted to go to church on Sunday but didn't cos I felt so tired.

Hope that the positives have come through ok, because are are many, but I felt I had to voice the negatives so that I'm no longer carrying them on my own.

Ok, that's enough for now,

Until next time...
