| I think a day like today serves as a pleasant message that there can exist some sort of middle ground when it comes to my anxieties and my compulsions, and my attempt to dispel said irritations. It is a good thing to put forward that I can have a stressful or unpleasant day, then return to the safety and comfort of my home and engage in some routine and comforting activities (i.e. straighten up the house) while not going overboard, trying to overcompensate (e.g. cleaning the entire house top to bottom, in the process creating more stress than the initial stimuli). Knowing what I need or what I need to do to address a given situation or stressor and proceeding to do said thing with minimal hesitation... I mean, even look at this entry; it's evidence enough. Streamlined, to the point, attempting to convey my message without a lot of extra padding. ::curses his use of sentence fragments:: To address some other business: - Center for Autism ended for me today. I will be continuing my work with Chris (the grad student whose Masters' thesis I am helping with), but as far as the practicum that I've been doing all this year, I have ended my obligations. Good run, I learned a lot, but it's nice for it to be over and we ended on a good note I thought. The directors and the grad therapists even pitched in and gave us (the three undergrads who are leaving) each a card and brought in some treats, so that was pleasant. - Still waiting (impatiently) for my laptop. UPS attempted to deliver it to my father's house today, but no one was around. We are going to pick it up, just a matter of when that will be. I have to go back to GR on Monday, so I might have to wait until then to get it. - Funny side-story in regards to the laptop thing. We had some difficulty ordering the system and ended up accidentally ordering two systems. Well, when we finally got a hold of someone to address the problem, they transferred us to the billing department which canceled the charge for one of the computers. However, my parents are not convinced that the shipping dept. did the same. So we might ::crosses fingers, knocks on wood:: have a two for one deal going on here. Checking the UPS tracking system, there says that there are two packages, however, my dad just brought up a good point that one of those might be the free printer that comes with the laptop. We’ll see. - Bought Kill Bill, vol. 2 (and Jackie Brown, rock on for 2 for $25 at Best Buy!) today, complete with a cool little sleeve to house the complete saga. Tonight’s entertainment, done and done. - I have become re-addicted to Tecmo Super Bowl for the original NES. I must play more now… and eat… I can’t forget the food. |
