I don't know I don't actually know anymore whether or not I respond well to pressure. Here's a list of things that I have to try to come to terms with in the near future: A new job My old responsibilities becoming more demanding A new unpaid responsibility Resubmitting that ethics thing Doing something about moving out Telling my parents I want to move out and asking for their help Addressing the fact of my increasing loneliness Beginning my actual research - I am weak. I feel like these extra burdens will break me... and yet I know I can do it, that I'm not incapable, that what's being asked of me is considerably less than is asked of most other people, I have far more security than the vast majority of the world's people... why am I scared? So it'll be harder. So what? I could do with a challenge. It's been long enough since the last time I faced a serious one. - Right, that's it. I've decided: I'm going to face this new phase in my life with a strong and positive attitude. - It'll be a first. - "She had the world in the palm of her hand Then she lost both her arms in a wrasslin' match To win a brown-eyed handsome man She fought and won herself A brown-eyed handsome man" - Chuck Berry |
