Stress = A Lot of Things!!

So I am realizing that with the increase of my stress level, I am starting to slack in many areas. But also, I'm realizing that I'm having to have more control.

My life is a mess right now! There are many things happening, and I'm certainly staying busy. It is rare that I have a break, and when I do, it's because my body just can't go... not because I don't have other things to do.

Here are a few things I've realized within this past week:

1) The more stressed I become, the more OCD (CDO) I am. And for everyone that knows me, I'm already pretty OCD about a lot of things.
2) Being OCD normally wouldn't be a problem, but my life is very disorganized right now as I'm living out of boxes and no order. I don't know where many things are (including a text book that I need) as things are boxed up and placed in many different locations. I don't have any set place for things to go.
3) Being disorganized means that I forget things. Because I'm forgetting things, I am not doing as well as I could and should be in my classes. I should be ahead and more on top of everything; however, I am missing a few deadlines and just not having the drive to do what I need to do.
4) Trying to not forget things, I create lists; however, I tend to forget where I place my lists or forget I even created a list as it's not out like it normally would be.

Life is interesting! I'm hoping for some stability to come into my life here soon, and be able to get things back in order... hopefully not too late!

I have 4 weeks to complete a lot of different things, and I just have to get on top of it all! And also, remember to find things to help release the stress like working out, tanning, or spending time with Brandon when I get the chance (which isn't very often due to work and living 45 minutes apart)! :-)
