Why is life so stressful? Why does EVERYTHING happen at the same time? Why do teachers find joy in assigning a bunch of homework?
I am currently SOOO stressed. Liking freaking out on the inside and outside stressed. I am having a physical reaction because I am so overwhelmed. My brow is sweaty, stomach tossing is circles and am more than a little irritable.
The funny thing is I should have had a bunch of time to work on homework and get all the things I needed to get done this weekend. I didn't hang out with friends once this weekend (I did see friends but in none of the circumstances would I categorize it as "hanging out"). So basically I have no life and should not be stressed! But I am.
Now lets break it down why.
On Friday Yom Kippur started at sundown so I ate a nice family dinner before hand. Yom Kippur is the most important Jewish holiday of the year. It is also know as the Day of Atonement and it is when you ask forgiveness for all your sins and forgive those who hurt you. To celebrate the day you fast. So it was a very religious weekend since Yom Kippur was going on. To get an idea of HOW Jewish my week was... I spend a total of almost 13.5 hours at my synagogue (7 hours Sunday and 6.5 Saturday). On Saturday I attended two services, a total of 4.5 hours, listening to the same sermon twice since no one goes to both, I was one of the exceptions... Now I did have a legitimate reason for going to both services, a friend and I gave a speech during it so I sort of had to be there, but it was a lot of services. Then I went to family to break the fast, meals are always better when you haven't eaten in basically 24 hours. Sunday morning I helped out in a Pre-K class then I needed to get stuff ready for a youth group meeting, make the agenda, print some fliers etc. Then I actually had my youth group meeting... And because of Yom Kippur and all my time at temple I have barely had any time to my homework and college apps etc. I did work on some homework on Friday and Saturday but both days I had to do other work for my temple so I couldn't spend that much time on school work.
So basically the rest of my Sunday is NOT going to be fun.... Since I still have a pile of homework AND I really need to apply to Madison like TODAY. Ughhhhh. If you havn't picked up already I am stressed.
It is times like these that you just need to watch a really good youtube video. Now I was shown this one a while ago and I just think it is soooooo funny. But I do have to warn you that there is some profanity, so don't watch if you have virgin ears. :)
