Midterms are going on right now, something that everybody here knows. And it is obvious that the stress is starting to get to everyone, if you haven't gone completely insane already. What I normally do when I'm stressed is pull out a favorite book and read my favorite parts for a little while. But at the moment, I don't even have time for that!
Dealing with stress is not my strong suit, and I have had several break downs already, most of them having occurred today. Does anyone else notice that we tend to enjoy the panic rather than have confidence in ourselves that we actually know the material we are studying? Enjoying probably is not the best word, but around exam time we certainly choose to lower our self confidence levels about ten notches.
And yet again, I am going to be employing my artistic form of procrastination. The other problem with midterms is that we are so drained by the beginning of the week, we have very little, if any energy at all to write the papers that we need to do. Only the looming due date manages to rekindle the dying embers of minds, enabling us to do what we need to do. If anyone has any really ingenious and easy stress relievers, I'm begging you to pass them on.

I'm not in school anymore, but the way things are going at work lately, I *feel* like I'm going through mid-terms! Good luck!
