気が狂いそうになってきた

Placed in: workja, arty, transtu

Vandalized my handout during the guest-speaker's lecture at Mid-Year seminar. Paid for it (bachi!) as my own presentation crashed and burned. Worry + Rushing + iroiro + my own lack of charisma and general inefficiency. However, I did have a good time with my powerpoint. Overall was good fun seein' everyone though, and to hear all the wise-ass comments from the jaded 3rd (and prematurely jaded 2nd)-years. Don't care what people say, these big shebangs are quite enjoyable.


ストレスがたまっている.

And now the general pathos from a failed performance trickles down to coalesce with the despair over an imminent and really difficult one-chance-a-year examination.

I've re-discovered that under a certain amount of stress, I lose my internal monologue. Often at random and inopportune times. It's been so long since i've experienced this rebound reaction to cramming everything I can lay hands on into this tiny space between my ears. I completely forgot about this. Bet my college roomies never did.
