Aaaaa!

Barely a week since I've been here, less than a week since the start of classes, and already the stress has gotten to me. I don't have work to do now. But starting this week, my free time will become a distant memory. Let's see, if you look at music alone, I'll have four major obligations, and that doesn't even include my dance class or my non-school-related band. Russian gives me three, plus a lot of stuff I should do because it's expected of someone in Russian section. And then there's psych stats, which I didn't even know I was taking until a few days ago and which promises to be loads of work.
It's like I'm trying to compromise for what was--let's face it--a pretty slacker summer. While others were working long hours in retail or even at factories (one guy I know inspected Velcro sheets every night from 11 to 7 a.m.) I was barely even breaking a sweat over my Internet research. My only stress stemmed not from things I had to do, but from things I was feeling. So I guess what I want to do here is give myself as little time for emotional stress as possible. Thus the having to run to band practice, oh, let's say, right now.
