It’s burnout time!

And no I don’t mean the game.

Tis the time when stuff starts getting silly and I start to wobble around with how much I am going to care. I don’t know why, but it seems like there’s so much to do that I cannot do schoolwork and such properly anymore.

It started off like an excellent semester. I was on the ball. My homework was done in good time. I actually found time to study Japanese.

I don’t know what happened. Now, every Japanese class starts off with me going “I’m so screwed..”. I don’t have the assignment(s) for the class done, I haven’t studied well, which will hit me most in the quiz marks. For my computing courses, I can’t study properly. My midterm review for both algorithms and networking simply consisted of looking at the stuff. No application of topics. No doing practice test questions, despite the availability of those things.

There’s also Scouts-related stuff. Since I am the group’s contact for PJ ’07, I have to get on the ball on that. Needless to say, I haven’t been on the ball at all with that stuff.

I felt stressed with no way to reduce the stress, given my giving up of gaming for Lent. Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and played some Eternal Silence and checked out some Half-Life 2 mods, including Goldeneye: Source and Empires. Guess it was a futile attempt that’s currently toying with my psyche.

At least, despite all this, I started to work on my work assignment.

I need to de-stress some, but not take it to the extreme and slack off and not care for the rest of the semester.
