Winter term is finally over, thank God, and this is the part where I fill you in on unnecessarily explicit details of my personal life. Because I like to.

Last term was downright strange. Around midterms I started having these fits where I would suddenly feel like I couldn't get enough air, which sent me to the doctor for the first time in years. It felt like a heart attack, but I guess it was really more like a panic attack without the panic. She told me to go sleep it off, but that never really happened. I was probably the most depressed I've been in a long time, but I didn't really feel it... there was just a strange and terrible nothingness. After about three weeks of this, everything suddenly felt completely amazing for a week. Difficult to explain, but I felt close to something. And then the panic attacks came back. More recently accompanied by nausea. ...I'm hoping spring break will be enough rest to keep me from completely destroying myself.

I'm finally done with all of the required basic art classes, which is good because the last one I took just about made me crazy. We made plywood chairs, which would have been fun except the working conditions were frustrating beyond words. I'm still not quite done with the chair, but it should be done before too long. I'm still working on my embroidered dress, too... which should also be done soon. In theory, anyway.

Organic chemistry is hard. College is lonely. I don't know anyone in the chemistry department yet and I don't feel like I really fit-in in the art department. I'm not artsy enough, I guess... I feel like I'm too practical. I haven't heard back from the product design program yet, either... which is sort of lame but oh well. I'm going to try and take it easy next term. No art classes, which should give me a lot more time for my own projects. Emphasis on "should." Anymore I'm just hoping I'll survive.
