School

Usually I try to use my blog posts to talk about intellectual things. I try and write like an adult. Well not this time. Oh no. My dear blog readers, this blog is dedicated to school and how much it royally sucks.

School is draining. It drains my brain. See it's not even that the material is necessarily difficult, but you just try having 8+ people demand 100% of your time.

Also, there just happens to be drama between me and EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. Which is emotionally draining as well.

I am sooo over school. I'm ready to go to college. Only 3 and a half years. -.-

How is your school/job going?? Hopefully better than mine,

Goodbye for now!!

I Owe You

Dear blog readers,

I owe you a blog post... But I have nothing to talk about. I am sorry to disappoint you with my lack of interesting thoughts.

Maybe after midterms when I'm not waisting my brain juice by studying for tests my funny blog posts will return.

But to those of you who have stuck with this blog through thick and thin, and those of you that are reading this for any reason, I love you guys and your support is greatly appreciated!!

Follow me on twitter at @kltune for interesting comments on my day from day to day. It's like a compact blog post.

All Worked Up

Hey guys, it's me, Kathryn!

Today I am writing about stress and the effect it has on me as an individual.

Let me start off with saying I am CONSTANTLY stressed out, and rightly so. I am in all Advanced Academic courses, (hello tons of homework) I am first chair in the top band at my school, I recently got asked to accompany a friend in a solo contest (I have no accompaniment experience) and I am a teenager.

I am also OCD. Not officially, but still. So today I walked into my bedroom after coming home from vacation. There were clothes all over the floor and trash ob the dresser. Basically my room was trashes. (Unfortunately because of my busy schedule my room is not usually clean.) I immediately went into stress mode. I started hyperventilating and sweating and rushing to get things done. It made me sick.

Another example happened tonight. My parents and I have decided together *gulp* that I am going to take the SAT as a Freshman. Obviously we are not expecting stellar scores, but we wanted me to get a chance to see what it was like and practice. Well today the Official Study Guide arrives ob my doorstep. I flipped.

I started thinking about how I was going to be the youngest one, people were going to be staring at me, and tI didn't even know all of the material. I immediately felt sick to my stomach and got a headache (a sign that my blood pressure was rising. All because of a stupid test that I will have multiple opportunities to take again.

Now lets take a look at my physical health this school year.
1) I was diagnosed with PCOS, (polycystic ovarian syndrome) meaning I have imbalanced hormones and have to be placed on birth control pills.
2) I had two sinus infections back to back, resulting in allergy testing. Starting this week I will get allergy shots.
3) I recently found out I have a slightly bulged disk in my back. I have to go to physical therapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks and possible get cortisone injections.

Call me crazy, but I think this can all be traced back to my stress levels. Am I the only one this crazy? I don't think so.

So on to my question for today; How can we make stress levels go down? Are there ways we can cut down on the amount of stress that we personally push onto other people?

All comments are greatly appreciates!

Goodnight!

Technology Savvy

Hello blog readers!

It's me! Yes, I am actually making a blog post! (I know, surprising!)

In fact, I think I will be updating more often from now on. Why? Because of the wonderful device I am typing on right now, the Itouch. With this little nugget of gold (or technically white) I can update my blog from wherever I want, including the comfort of my own bed. I can also simultaneously update twitter and Facebook all at the same time! (whenever I do this, I always imagine that I'm some famous person, and that people actually care about what I'm writing) So hopefully with this new technology which puts the whole blogger community at my fingertips, I will find the time to write more to you guys, my lovely followers.

One more thing: I now have a twitter account! So if you want to hear more from me, follow me at @kltune.

That's all for tonight! Thanks for sticking with me all this time!
