Even me...

That mod whose always upbeat and cheery, active in the Brain Teasers, tries to be helpful... that sunshine that some people need... (Getting a little full of myself)

Either way, stress has begun to pull me in several directions, and its REALLY taking its toll on me...

First off... let me just begin with my school life. Same old same old, except the ocasional homework assignment that takes a little longer than normal. Normally, this isnt a problem, but the time I have to do it in has shrunken... considerably...

Thanks to the one thing that I REALLY love... band. I love playing in band... my trombone and I have been together for 6 years. Never once have I hated band, because it never took more time than it needed from me. Holiday concert is on Thursday... and we've been having practices off the wall (My poor chops ). Top band first chair is not an easy thing to manage sophmore year, but I do it. Thats my comittment...

Unfortunately, that cuts into my homework time... which still gets done... on time... and here I am still posting... but thats not the main problem... because it normally wouldnt BE a problem... however...

Over the past 6 days, Ive had to deal with some people that make me want to tear out my brainstem. I will not mention names, but Im sure you can all guess which ones I would say if I told you they all went to this board. It may be bad timing, it may be some bad alignment in my stars, but SOMETHING decided to chain these events together to wear down at my sanity for the time being. That plus the stress of maintaining a 4.0, and actually sitting down and doing a science fair project, among other projects, has just really taken it's toll on my overall attitude.

Fortunately for you guys, this will pass in a few weeks when everything is all over and the holiday season starts up. Unfortunately for you, that means you need to try extra hard not to tick me off. I dont get angry often, and I mean TRULY angry, but my patience has worn thin with people for the moment, so... yeah, dont be the one on my bad side for now.

So, yeah. Ramblings from my mind. Needed to get that out. Advice is welcome, but Im going to be honest, unless its REALLY good, it isnt going to be needed. Im the type of person who needs to work things out on his own... been that way for a while actually...

So, yeah... please dont let my dark side come out in this really frustrating time... thats bad.

Sorry if this is unorganized, but I just wanted to get my thoughts down is all.

The two don't mix very well unfortunately, I know how you feel, I've been in many similar situations where I get really stressed with work and having to put up with people who really make you want to ‘dong’ them on the head with an oversized giant hammer .. well maybe that bits just me.

I guess just trying to ignore them as best you can will hopefully help you out some. That’s what I usually do and it seems to work in some instances. You could try getting one of them stress balls; they can help with the stress.

I hope things work out for you over the next few weeks.

Stress happens to everyone. I know since I´ve been there too and it´s a pain in the ass. I´ve also had problems with users here and that has been quite nasty too.

Maybe you should cut down on the posting a little. Until holiday starts for you.

And don´t worry. I won´t tick you off.

If the world didn't have stress then no one would be despressed. And yet as good as that sounds it would be nothing but a cheery happy place... which I wish it was from time to time. But let's face it stress is not fun at all and I should know. Been there a couple of times myself and interestingly all since I've been out of high school mainly. WTF?

I've never really had problems with other members here on the board. Just be glad I won't tick you off (like I would ever do that anyways) and I agree with Ran-chan to cut down on posting here till the holidays.

KATW,

Everyone experiences a lot of stess at times, even me. Don't let it get to you. You're a moderator, you should be able to close it out, right? ... Okay so that wasn't funny at all, most unfortunate.

I used to play trombone... I didn't like it that much but I know it's kind of tedious to play. Practicing trombone as much as you do... well, I can see how stressful that would be to you.

Here's what you should do: relax! Just sit down and think. Don't try to stress yourself in all of this stuff... relax and take it easy. Try to get things done, and not in a hurry, do it with a smile on your face and no major thinking involved.

I'm a pretty cheery person too most of the time, but I'm stressed a lot too. I'm not near as stressed as I used to be because a lot of things are going better and I have learned to relax a bit.

I hope you solve this ordeal soon. Try not to let it get to you any longer. Kick ass like you already do, alright?

Try your best to ignore the stupid things and the stupid people. They aren't worth your time. You know what's important and what isn't... don't get off track because of the internet, and don't let things you enjoy become things you come to hate. About band, first chair can be hard. When I was in band, I was first chair too. It's difficult, having to maintain the kind of perfection that teachers need in their best players, but I know you love that. Keep that in mind, don't let band be something you don't enjoy just because of other stress.
We're talked a bit about school too, and that will pass. There's always tough parts of the year, and the science fair is a perfect example. But you'll get that finished, and things will chill again. Just keep doing what you do, because you've been a good student so far.
Things can always get better with the right attitude, and that's something you always seem to have. It's a great quality.
Best of all, the holidays are coming. If that can't cheer you up, I dunno what can.

Eh, its funny how my life just sort of... "strings" together these events

Im keeping it cool for a while, and trying to be my normal self, but if you will kindly glance to your left, youll see a nice little warning label as my custom title now

Eh, yesterday I forgot to mention our school's fire alarm... which I want to shoot... for ringing... during lunch period... 3rd lunch...

... and I have 4th... so I didnt eat until 12:50, instead of our normal 12:00

The problem is, it went off, the Fire Department came, shut it off. We went inside, and 5 minutes later it goes off again...

And nobody comes for 45 minutes...

And we stood... in the rain... for 45 minutes...

I would have been happier if it was snow... but it wasnt near anywhere cold enough... drat...

So... thats my story... today wasnt as bad... so... things may be getting better

Either way, Im taking a backseat to life, instead of grabbing it by the horns like I always do... Im going to let things flow for a while... see where I end up.
