Stressed is just Desserts spelled backwards...

If one could measure stress on a line…
__________________________________________ high
__________________________________________ normal
__________________________________________ low

I am the red line.
I should be the blue line.
But I'm not.

This is because I have:
~An orchestra essay (due in december)
~A music theory essay (due next monday)
~A chorale essay (due wednesday)
~An english essay (due LAST wednesday)
~A surplus of super annoying people who complain about the musical during rehearsal.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE THERE: LEAVE
~An insatiable craving for canned corn, or muffins (its the carbs) and chocolate-- not together, but still…
~No desire to do my work
~A strong desire to eat mini chocolate chips while watching tv...
With 8 school days left in the quarter, however, I need to get cracking.
Instead, I have a headache from all the chocolate.

In other news, I meant to post more about Social Experiment No. 4, where I pretended to be Hamlet.
I started wearing sneakers and sweats to school.
On top of this, I developed an attitude to my superiors, got al snotty with my mum, stopped doing work, and stopped being so meticulous about my calorie counting.
For four days.
Some favourite quotes:
Day one: "you look like a college student! My baby is growing up" -mum then she tried to hug me. WTF. My mum barley reacted!
"Are you feeling alright" -my vice principal thats more like it!
Day two:
"you are rocking the sweats! and wow have you lost weight!" -mum I was ecstatic that she noticed how much weight I've lost… but I rolled my eyes
day three:
"sweats three days in a row? go put jeans on…show some respect for yourself… are you thinking of suicide again?" -mum FINALLY. I was getting the reaction I wanted… but she was so scared and hurt that I told her it was a Social Experiment
Day Four:
"Dad: Whats up?
Me: nothing is up OMG! The ultimate Hamlet moment… A witty and depressed pun! YESSS!
Dad: You're worrying me. The way you're acting and dressing is not… you.
Me: So? other people act and dress this way
Dad: yes but you're not other people
Me: *rolls eyes*
Dad: this is the kind of lackadaisical attitude that causes grades to spiral… don't you want to go to college?
Me: I guess…
Dad: YOU GUESS!?
Me: well, whatever happens, happens. That's what you keep saying, right?" He flipped. I told him later that night.
All In all… It was pretty successful :)

Currently, I am trying to do Social Experiment No. 5
I have to go 48 hours without the internet.
I'm doing so well.

I realized yesterday that the first thing I do in the morning is… check my Email.

Ugh… sorry this is such a long post… I was going to post stats in it, but… I ll do it later.
