I'm quite nervous. I'm not sure if it is okay for me not to do extra credit work. It is for a class that I am fairly certain I will get an A in, as long as my final goes well. However, it seems I feel like I look like I don't care about doing well if I don't do it. I don't want my teacher to think I'm some slacker. I've got three finals left on Monday, and I want to be able to have sufficent time to study. It is especially worrisome since while I am pretty much gauranteed an A in this class, the final in a different class could mean the difference between an A and a B. Ugh. Decisions, decisions.
Also nervous since I got the nerve to go up to a guy the other night, and now I have a date. It's been years, literal years, since I've been on a date. Nerves, nerves, nerves.

^ I know how you feel, I often think that way too about extra credit given out for certain courses. I'm certain that your professor won't think you're a slacker for not doing it. It's during finals time, and you need time to study -- as do a lot of other students. I'm sure you wouldn't be the only one not doing it. If you think you can squeeze in the extra credit with your studying, then great! If not, that's okay too. Good luck on your tests! :thumbup:

Also, congrats on your date! That's pretty brave of you to grab that nerve and ask someone out.

I am getting depressed lately. Maybe it's the winter. It doesn't seem like that's the reason, though. Not sure. I feel horribly lonely and I am ashamed that I am 23 years old and have no friends and I look 14 (according to a girl in one of my classes). I feel like it really will never get better. I'm tired of talking about it, tired of hoping others will help me feel better. I am a burden to others and I am a burden to myself. It's all just too painful. I am an alien.

I did try, though. No one can say I didn't try to live with this. You can't say I'm not a fighter. I've fought... all my life. I'm "only" 23; well, the years fly by. I won't have the hope of youth forever.

I just want this human journey to come to a close.

But it won't. I'll still be here tomorrow, with the same things to complain about. I am going to get another therapist. We'll see how that goes. I am hardly hopeful.

Winters can do that, so it could be seasonal mood swings. I'm no expert, though, so don't take my words to heart.

I am with you on the loneliness and feeling like a burden. I'm fairly certain you're not, though. Sometimes we feel that way when in reality people want to hear more from us. Our thoughts and viewpoints can be our enemies sometimes.

Good luck with your new therapist. I hope it works out. :)

1. you don't look 14 - that girl is a bitch

2. i know it doesn't seem like it NOW, but your life really is just beginning. in another 23 years from now - twice your current age - you'll still only be at the halfway point

3. so take it easy on yourself, and quit trying so hard to have it all figured out already. that's what this time is for - to learn

4. you're awesome :thumbup:

I can relate. I can relate. Except I am much older. These past few days I have had such a crushing depression. That is the only way I can describe it, crushing. Like someone has sucked the life out of me. Like my tank is totally empty.
I do think that the holidays are subconsciously making my usual low level depression much worse. And it doesn't help that all the people I am around are moody or depressed themselves and some are going through bad times so there really isn't much positivity out there.
I can't wait for January 2nd.

I find that a lot of people (myself included) like to exaggerate things extremely to get a point across. For example, someone may have some ice cream they like and go "OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER." Is that ice cream the best thing ever? No, unless that individual has some weird attraction to that particular dish of ice cream. People feel the need to exaggerate things as if giving an accurate description won't receive the intended meaning. So when someone says "woah, you look 14!" what I think they mean is "you could pass as a 17-18 year old" or more likely "I think 23 is super old and that everyone over the age of 22 looks like my grandma." You obviously don't look 14, anyone who has seen you can clearly see that you have hit and gone past ****rty. You'd have to be a very early blooming 14 year old, and if you were 14 and looked as you do, people would be telling you that you look 21 :eek:mg:

So basically, people are stupid. You don't look 14, you look like a young adult.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Well, squeeze ma c**k 'n' call me Nancy! (Oops, wrong thread. On 2nd thought - DON'T! That'd be weird... and a wee bit painful) :bigsmile:

Ach! Ah feel like... crud, crap and shite! Aye, aw the above. :thumbdown:

This f**kin' throat infection's still gettin' on ma effin' tits - or nerves, rather, fur aw you non-Scottish folk. Ma voice is in tatters & ah thought it sounded bad afore, by jings. Ah feel like ah've licked a cat's arse & ate some sandpaper. Ah mean, ah could gan tae the doctor but ah'd just be sittin' in the waitin' room thinkin': "Away & shite, ya bam! Thoat cancer, is it? Well howthef**k did ah get that? Ah dinnae even smoke! Ach well, at least ah'll get yin o' them voice box thingys" Ah say aw that, jokingly, because ah've got the smoker's weezy cough n' the strugglin' tae breathe laugh doon quite well. :ironicsmile:

Oh! And ah huv'nae really slept much fur like 3 days - ("Whit day is it, anyway?") - coz uh the coughin' fits ah've been huvin' most nights. Surprisingly though, am no' as tired as ya think ah would be. Even am surprised. But then ah occassionally get insomnia... Ah think, eventually, ah huv tae botox ma eyes open.

As ye can no doubt tell, ma weird as f**k "What's he gan on aboot?" sense uh humour is still as cheery as ever.

I feel pretty bad, especially yesterday. So my laptop isn't charging properly - we suspected there's a problem with the motherboard. My brother helped me open up the laptop to get to the motherboard. He told me that part # that was defective. Once we order that, we could resolder it. Taking apart the laptop was easy, putting it back together was hard. I had trouble especially with the keyboard! The hard part is connecting the keyboard's connector to a pin on the motherboard. In the process, I accidentally broke part of the pin and the black thing that was supposed to keep the connector in place. :kickingmyself:Now, my keyboard is virtually useless. I had to use an external keyboard.

Can't help but blame myself for getting too optimistic. If I hadn't open up my laptop, I wouldn't have broken the pins. I had total faith in my brother and my abilities to fix the laptop. But now, I'm scared. I don't want to break any more stuff. I don't have money to afford a new laptop, and I'm very happy using the current one. I'm just beating myself up over it. If I hadn't gotten optimistic or felt the urge to take some risk, I wouldn't have opened up my laptop and broke some stuff. Ok, this sounds like I'm telling myself to be a coward and not take risks at all :eek:h:

This is just one of my issues. Still sulking and pretty much in a bad mood, as I'm typing on an external keyboard which is getting pretty cumbersome.

Very fatigued and tired for no reason. Maybe it's from not doing anything and hardly moving around all day, been doing that for awhile now. I'm very bored and have no energy. I want to find something to do but I don't have absolutely no motivation to do anything at all. I don't possibly know what I could be doing anyway, though I know you can always find something to do of course. Feeling very apathetic towards everything right now.
