Classes and therapy

I got up early this morning. I woke up at around 3am and had a difficult time going back to sleep. I snoozed on and off until my sister got up. Then my alarm went off and I waited for my med alarm before getting out of bed. I had one cup of coffee and then I had to leave to catch the bus. It snowed out but wasn’t that cold. I wore my new sneakers as they are waterproof.

I got to therapy in time, with ten minutes to spare. There were people in the waiting room. Seemed like they all knew each other. I gave my copy of Shneidman to my therapist and told her which chapters to read. She bookmarked them. We talked about different things. I told her about my anxiety and she suggested that I try and have at least three affirmations each day. I don’t know if I will do it.  I have a hard time finding something positive about myself on any given day.

My laptop has been running since I thought I shut it off yesterday after I blogged. Something is wrong with the power. It doesn’t seem to be recognizing when the lid is shut. So I will have to shut down my laptop from now on.

I got several emails from my English professor. They sent the syllabus and how the class is structured. There will be three five page papers due over the semester. I finally have the first book to read. I am freaking out because it has to be in MLA format and I have no idea what that is but we can’t use outside sources other than the book so I don’t get it. I am going to be struggling to get five pages done on these books.

I did some Italian work when I got on my laptop. I made some schedule of what I do during the week. Have no idea if I did it right. I got to do some blah blah blah’g on one section. Then make some sentences in another. I wish I had confidence in what I was doing. I had to look up some words. I really think my Italian is going to be easier than English class.

I am tired. I had Chipotle for lunch and my stomach got bloated. Seems everything I eat makes me bloated. I found that there is a Starbucks right at the corner of the blue line so next week when I see my therapist I am going to leave early so I can have a coffee before session.
