Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings

Most people who know me well, know that I am not necessarily the most emotional person. And even when I do have feelings, they often times go unexpressed. When I wake up in the morning and trek to my classes, I think to myself, "What all do I have to do today?" and then I mentally prepare myself. I do NOT ask myself, "How am I feeling today?" I tell you this because there's been a slight change in this. Well, sometimes anyway....


Sometime last semester, my adviser asked me, "How do you feel about open book tests?"

"How do I feel about them??"
I inwardly giggled at this thought, but politely discussed with him how they are sometimes more challenging than closed book exams because I don't always prepare as well for them, thinking, "Well, I can always look the answer up."

But later, the silliness of the question hit me and stuck with me.

I SHOULD have said, "Well, they make me feel very apprehensive because of my deep-seated fear of the unknown because I never know what to expect from them." But my wit was apparently not so sharp that morning.

However, due to this encounter, I have begun to, on occasion, consider how I am feeling in any given situation. [Yay turning points!!] So here goes. Since my arrival back at school for spring semester, I feel very out of sorts. One of my roommates transferred out and there are some new students in my classes. I don't know how I feel about some of my friends. Even though I enjoy their company immensely, I sometimes feel like I want space from them. It's not really because I don't like them anymore, or we had a fight. It's just I get tired of seeing the same people all the time. [I swear, it's not you...it's me.] I don't know. Maybe I have a social disorder. haha, nah. It's probably not that serious. It's just, I hung out a LOT last semester and kind of procrastinated my work, and I really want to focus and get stuff done more this semester. See, here are a few of my goals:

-Attend more recitals for Recital Attendance Documentation
-Keep the caffeine consumption to a minimum
-Work on my Workship hours
-Get involved at my church

But I don't want to be too serious and focused, because then I tend to be more introverted and have less fun. UGH.
