Well, my emotions have been utterly mixed the past couple of days.

My social life has been booming, as I've been talking to a girl named Jessica, who just brightens my day. But since I'm sure no one cares about the details of that, I will simply say that I have been in more than an ecstatic mood lately. I also got my license yesterday, which means new possibilities for me.

But, along with the amazingly good, I have had some overwhelmingly bad going on at the same time. I have been dutifully stressed lately, mainly due to the fact that I have let it build up. I know am faced with a literary analysis paper that I must finish. I also have to do some World History homework that is due tomorrow.

What makes all of this so insane is that my happiness has seemed to numb my stress and worries, and so I'm constantly reminded of the load of work I have, but I seem to keep veering off from my point.

Even right now, I've got my paper next to me, but I'm listening to music and typing this. Will I actually finish this on time? The sad thing is, I can't really say. I can only hope that some motivation will kick in and I can get it done.

As a few other people have stated, I really need a break. I need rest. I don't want a calm that preludes a storm. I want a peace that comes shortly after. I really hope this storm ends soon and is followed with some peace to recuperate from all of this madness.
