quick update 2010

I hope you all find yourselves well as the second week of 2010 progresses. I started a new semester yesterday, and I'm pretty confident that this will be an extremely difficult and overwhelmingly busy next few months. I'm also becoming aware that once I continue and get even into my upperclassmen course loads, it will not get easier, and I need to accept that. Last semester was really tough and I kept pushing, reminding myself that "next semester will be easier." Well, here we (meaning both me and my inner voice) are, just a few days into that previously spoken about semester, and I'm already nauseous with stress. Granted, it is the first week, and each class is hitting me, hard, at once- once I get into a routine, it will seem easier. I did just complete a long, quiet, relaxing, and even boring vacation where I really had no responsibilities other than a smattering of childcare to fuel my shopping addiction(s). I've also been known to be quite hard on myself and overstress to the point of non-productiveness. Nonetheless, this is college. This is crucial. This is the point where I need to be mature and suck up my babyish whining. The benefits of my education are my responsibility, and I'm prepared to put as much in as I can to get as much as I want out. So, all I can do is work harder than I thought was possible, and take deep breaths. Unfortunately, my number one priority is not Fashion Fille, so, as the readers that are left are used to by now, posts will not come as often as any of us would like. Keep up and monitor my stress levels by following me on Twitter and peruse my Tumblr- it should be updated more often than here.

Good luck to those of you in school. We will get through this together!
