Confession: While listening to the same songs over and over and over again at work, I realized that I'd be willing to pay a decent amount of money for Sean Connery to sing The Sign by Ace of Base.  Too bad I'll never get the chance to make that happen  :sleep:

On some days when I work alone, I blast my own music (RPG bgms, vn bgms) in my workplace. :P

Alright, my 1st day at college wasn't too too horrible. Nothing went wrong at all, but I'm having a lot of difficulty mentally adjusting to it. Thankfully most of my work is doable at home though, so it's not all that bad.

One thing that's bothering me though is that I'm still in the habit of dramatizing my situation. This morning I had difficulty getting out of bed because I was overcome by an irrational fear of how things would turn out for me, and I'm losing my appetite again too. I eventually forced myself out of bed and went outside for fresh air, and I immediately felt better and was able to start getting my thoughts in order. I think as long as I'm able to recover like this, I should be fine for keeping up with my assignments.

Still, I don't know why this happens; it seems to trigger every time I leave my comfort zone. I've been having this issue ever since I joined the military, and it persisted with the job I use to have. Well, hopefully I can start improving my lifestyle once I have a little more cash in my pocket. At least with that I'll be able to improve my diet and get a better bed.

Your not the only one, as I have just started finding a job and writing a solicitation letter still drives me bonkers.
It always ends up feeling like the temperature just skyrocketed and i take ages before i start writing.

Add to that the amount of bonkers you have to write into one and it makes me feel pretty darn uncomfortable.

Figuring out how to start a paper is pretty damn hard for me too. Out of all the classes I'm taking right now, my composition class pretty much my main source of anxiety. The other one is the online class I'm taking for introduction to computers; which isn't really due to the coursework, but just the fact that it's online. Due to life circumstances, I didn't really have much choice in taking it. :( I know I'd want to get use to it eventually, but I didn't want it on my 1st term.

Glad to hear you're optimistic about it! Not that I'm at all experienced or reliable on these matters, but maybe try to listen to some songs that pump you up every morning if you get anxious? If you tend to dramatize your situation and that causes anxiety, maybe the opposite would be true as well! Just my .02$.

Well personally i have a lot less trouble starting a paper that i have with writing a application letter.
Mostly because a paper is supposed to make sense and not be a lot of bullcrap, and since i study chemistry you basically always have to start in the same manner.

A application letter on the other hand is a load of bullcrap that you have to string together with lies to please someone who could be your boss 45+ fucktard with a overinflated ego.

And since this is about as good a description of me you can find, i have some trouble with that.

That's a pretty good idea, and I actually found an alarm app that would fit perfectly for what I need it for. Sadly, that'll have to wait until I can afford a better phone that can hold more than a handful of mp3s, or an alarm with similar features. I won't be content unless I have a certain number different songs to play. Yeah, I know, I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good.

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's not always easy being an introvert. :vinty:

That's a pretty damn accurate image collection.

I'll repeat for both of you my usual life advice: identify the things that make you nervous or frightened but which you genuinely want or need to do, and push yourself to do them over and over and over again, until they're just second nature.

Believe it or not, that hasn't worked at all for me in the past, although this time it might. Now that the introduction phase is over, I have all of my online utilities set up, and I'm actually doing work now, I'm beginning to feel a lot better about taking classes. Part of my anxiety was not knowing how classes were structured, and I was in a pretty heightened state of alertness to make sure I wasn't messing anything up. Today was much much much more comfortable for me, and I didn't come out of it a nervous wreck.

That being said, I forgot to drink my tea this morning, so my concentration was not that great today, lol. It only really hurt me for note-taking in my composition class, so hopefully I can find the information I need online to fix that. If not, I'll try emailing my professor. I didn't want to hold up the rest of the class just because my brain shut off for a moment.

i'm just lost . in less than a month , i will enter my last year of higschool , and even if i'm not afraid of it , i just know it will be a pain in the neck.let alone the fact that i'll be forced to spend all the day sitting on a chair  ,stay all the day with the same borings (even if they're nice ) classemates ,listening to things i couldn't care less about (even if i am supposed to be interested by the section i chose )  because i've became used to that , i must decide what i want to do after high school and submit my choice in January.and even if i know what kind of studies i want to do , i dont know precisely. when you're in middle school , it's fine to just know that you want to work in something related to art/drawing but  now, i must chose something precise, search for a school, and think about how i could organize myself to live on my own ,since i dont have any art school in my city.but i suck at organizing myself . i'm not too much subject too stress, but when one put too much pressure on me ,i'm unable to do anything. even handing a homework in the right delays is awfully difficult ,let alone my tendencies to procrastinate. (for instance ,i handed some art analysis something like 2 month late this year,and i'm well aware that it wont be allowed later in work or superiors studies ) . i can't gather my toughts ,nor act , and i just end up sitting in front of my desk doing nothing,and finally pushing the deadline more and more. at the same time , i have to  support my girlfriend , who seem to be at the verge of burn out/ nervous breakdown. and i dont know how to deal with depressed and highly introvert persons like her (even if i can be labelled as an introvert too, i think i just dont have enough empathy -_- )

i dont really seek any help,i know that internet is not the place for this, but i just wanted to complain (even if this is not the worst life on earth,i'm well aware )

sorry for my english -_-

i had my first confrontation with rail operators worker because of graffiti , i'm a big boy now !

well ,seriously ,it suck. i think i just can curse my usual bad luck , because i thought the spot was perfectly legal , and some friends of mines painted there numerous time without any problems. and ,cmon man, we were almost lost in a rural area ,  under a bridge near a river,and this bridge was already so much painted that one cannot see the original color of the stone... numerous peoples passed by and just greet us friendly ,some stayed to talk a bit , but ,of course this bridge was a part of the railroad network,and some guy of graffiti repression department came precisely today,while we were doing our painting ... so now the word i use to paint is registered ,my piece was photographed,and there is a high probability that they pressed charges against the name i write ...

that was the story of the day :D

All I'll say is, don't make the mistake I did and play P4G anywhere near any exam/project week. Shit WILL fuck up your grades. Also, it ain't gonna take a week unless you literally put half your week into it- shit is LONG, and unless you can really shut yourself off, 3 weeks is a minimum. I only grinded when I got stuck on a boss, once, on Normal, and I ended up finishing with about 70 hours on the dot, and that's one of the quicker runs. 75-80 hours seems to be the general range. Many people end up grinding for Personas/ a couple extra bosses/ etc.

That sounds like a great argument for learning it at home by yourself.
