Temporary Hiatus

by Jess on December 1st, 2010 in All Posts

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a bit MIA on the blog.

It’s getting to that time of year (end of the semester) where my stress level has shot through the roof because of the approach of final exams. Unfortunately, unlike undergraduate, law school is not a cake walk nor can you cram the night before the final (yes, I’m one of those people).

I finish my exams on December 16 and fly home to California on December 17, whereby I will have 2 weeks of more “me” time and can resume blogging as well as planning out my life for next semester.

I have done poorly with managing school and healthy living. Training and exercising has decreased and stress eating has increased. I’m working on it, but I know I need to make a game plan when I get home.

I’ll be able to resume running the two weeks I’m back and I’ll need to make a running schedule as well. I can barely run a 5K now. That’s how far I’ve deteriorated.

I’ve somewhat failed at balance this semester, but I look at it like a learning experience.

I have a lot to write about regarding what I think about healthy living while in law school and balancing stress, and there’s plenty to say. However, I just haven’t found the time or energy to blog.

So bear with me.

I’ll be back.

Stressed Out

by Jess on November 10th, 2010 in All Posts

I am stressed.

With law school.
Reading.
Outlining.
Studying.
Finals.
Job hunting.
Building my resume.

With cooking.
No time.
No energy.
No inspiration.

With running.
I haven’t been diligent with training.
Yes, I run for enjoyment, but my races have all been mediocre.
I have not committed myself.
I am half-assing.

With balance.
I can’t find the middle of the road.
It’s either all or nothing.
I need to re-discover my zone.
I want a pause button.

With blogging.
Not every post needs to be an essay.
My worth is not measured by daily visits or hits.
My writing has dulled.
Writer’s block.

I am trying my best to not complain, to just get her done, but I am tired.

Still, I will press forward and push on. I might be in a slump right now, but as long as I climb out, I will continue to make progress.

I can do this. I will do this.

 

How are you doing?

What have you been stressed out about?

Looking forward to the holidays? Because I sure as hell am!
