In a Sea of Stress

I think I'm going to die from stress. Strangely enough, this stress doesn't come from a terribly lack of time. Instead it arises out of the inability to understand certain concepts that are taught, causing me to be stuck at one point while everything else moves on, further and further away from me.

Today I was drained beyond imagination. After a gruelling Electricity and Magnetism lecture and an unforgiving Mathematical Methods in Physics test, I felt like melting. I was hungry but had no appetite for lunch. After forcing my meal down, I felt like eating more even though I was full. I even ate down a few pieces of dried chilli (used as seasoning) that most people usually leave alone.

Luckily, Yao was there to console me, by my side, sort of guiding me step-by-step out of the mental mess I dropped myself in. It was fortunate that I took her advice not to do any work for the next half hour until the next lecture, for if I didn't, I would've turned into a puddle of human liquid in LT22. The SPS library, full of exotic collections, just had a huge Garfield comic book and the first book of the PHD Comics collection as the perfect tool for de-stress.

Well, right now the worst is over; I've ridden over the tide. But now, another one is rising... my Electricity and Magnetism tutorial is mind-boggling. And the test is next Monday. Dagomir (the lecturer) expressed his wishes that the test won't be a disaster. I bet his wish won't come true.
