Psych was cancelled, so quick trip to gford (yet again, the book I wanted is only out in America at the mo) and grabbed some magazines. Okay, technically psych wasn't cancelled, but the teacher was ill so most of us went home anyway. Hardly getting the cw done, but it'll happen sooner or later. Hopefully.

Nother driving lesson tonight.Getting more ambivilant about this pootling about in cars thing. It's another sign of rapidly encrouaching Adulthood, along with al these 18th bdays that keep springing themselves on people. So not ready for all that shit yet, but hey, not as though I've got a choice. Part of me is still utterly convinced it isn't actually going to happen. Part of my mum is still convinced of the same, despite the fact she past 18 a loooong time ago. Nothing wrong with never actually growing up!

Apparantly when i'm quiet people think I'm upset. Not so much, actually, it's just sometimes I'm quiet and sometimes I'm not I'm hardly the most objective judge, but I think i tend to be more outgoing in small groups. More than about four and unless it's an issue I'm interested in I'll fade back. Thing is, I do go quiet when i'm feeling down, but it's no different from normal quiet, s you can't actually tell, and I'm hardly going to announce it. Just not me. But generally, I don't feel down, so it's all good.

Tired. this whole not sleeping + disturbing dreams + stress + everything else thing is taking out of me. And no end in sight, not really. Roll on half term.

Okay, don't take this as me trying to convince you to do what I think you should do, because it isn't - just a minor warning. You're showing exactly the same symptoms of burn-out that hounded me all this past year, and I don't want to see any of my friends end up like that. If you think you can handle all of it, then don't change anything, but speaking from experience here if it gets too much drop a subject.

::huggles:: I'm not going to try to convince you to do something you don't want to do, I'm just worried about you. :(

I don't think it's burnout. You mentioned today it takes you about a week to wind down; well, it takes me about four to wind up. Takes me a matter of minutes to relax once the holidays begin, but getting into a good work pattern and working out where to focus the most takes most of a term to really establish, and starting this term half way through a lot of things didn't help.

On the other hand, if it is burnout, you've just managed to awaken a very stubborn streak in me! I want to get the work down, so i can start coasting along again.
