Ryan adams is describing my thoughts right now.

One of my favorite music loves, ryan adams, can't help but describe my thoughts right now...

I see monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now

'Cause you're fast asleep

But I love you now

Colors inside your head go spinning around

Like a ferris wheel

Exploding and falling to the ground

Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming

My baby, she's dreaming

Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking

I'm just staring at the ceiling

Waiting for the feeling

Oh, oh but when she calls,

I know she's the one

Makes me want her harder

Makes me want to be a little stronger

Still I see monsters

Still I see monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now

'Cause you're flying around

At the speed of sound

Colors inside your head go spinning around

Like a ferris wheel

Exploding and falling to the ground

Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming

My babies, she's dreaming

Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking

I'm just staring at the ceiling

Waiting for the feeling

Oh, oh when she calls

I know that she's the one

Makes me want it harder

Makes me want to be a little stronger

Still I see the monsters

lessons from a successful term 2

Just sharing a few thoughts about school...

1. I HAVE to do ALL of the reading to do well.
2. I HAVE to take sufficient time to complete assignments.
3. I HAVE to take care of myself so I have energy.

Term grades are in. I love that psychology classes give means and medians for each assignment/test. I got a 95 on my final (mean of 81, median of 84) and a 93 on the final project (mean of 81, median of 79). What does this tell me? I did some things right at the end of my semester.

However, my midterm grade (one of the lowest in the class) brought my average down to an 88.4 (class mean 88.1, median 88.1), aka I was not statistically significantly different from the class average. This says a lot. I'm trying to figure out what to do.

I don't know how to fix my situation. I'm finding that I'm low on energy, mood, and motivation right now, and am about 2 weeks behind the curve of where I should be... in everything. NONE of this has caught up with me yet, because no assignments have come due. I am barely surviving at work, and feel like I'm about to crash and burn. And, again, I don't know what to do to fix my situation.

Any ideas?
