Facebook Applications...

"or whatever the hell you want to call them" - Jake

So at one point in my facebook life I thought these "applications" were fun!
Oooh stickers and flair!! (ok I still secretly like them a little bit)
But I have reached my application quota.
I don't need to find more ways to waste my time on facebook. I don't want to be distracted with geography trivia or sending people fake plants.

Just let me enjoy my facebook time doing more productive things like creep aka stalk people most of whom I really don't talk to.

Life is a Bowl of Cherries

2009 has not been a great year thus far.
Why you ask?
To be honest it hasn't been horrible but it has definitely not been great.
I feel like I'm drowning right now in a million anxieties, mostly related to school.
Almost all are connected to the question of "When will I get all of this done?"
My job is a headache.
The economy is bad.
Jake is stressed out at his job.
My schedule is beyond crazy...I go to work in the morning, drive half an hour to do therapy with one or two clients, drive home and try to work on my dissertation.
I knew grad school would be a lesser form of insanity but I'm thinking my breaking point is around the corner.
All my classes feel pointless - definitely not essential to me being a competent psychologist.
Then there is the dark monster looming at the end of the hallway - Master's comps.
4 days of sheer hell and at least a month of studying prior to these 4 days. You can fail but you have to retake the sections you failed. I keep telling myself I will pass, it will be fine, it will suck beyond measure but it will be fine.
Just call me Debbie Downer.
So I'm trying to boost up a positive attitude and be more efficient.
Take it one day at a time.
Yes, all of this is overwhelming but in order to keep myself sane I have to
stop.
breathe.
and do the most I can every day and that will probably be good enough.
It will be tough but in the end I'll be a stronger and more accomplished person (with a Master's and then a Doctorate)
I'm not sure what the phrase "Life is just a bowl of cherries" means but I've always liked it and I've always liked cherries so it might be my new mantra.
Sure things could be easier right now, but they could be a lot worse.
