Stress and Expectations (and an extra)
Stress is beginning to take its toll on me. I have been busy as hell doing papers and researches for both my Computer Architecture and Research Methods/Thesis Courses. Add to that the project I am doing to help a friend (a web application), and the readings and preparations for MCSE. It has really been a rough month. Every time I get to solve something, another problem arises. It’s hard to think straight sometimes, but I am managing. Slowly, things begin to unfold before my eyes – solutions to problems, opportunities, etc. I may be verbally complaining, but deep inside, no matter how tiring or stressful the things I encounter and do are, I am satisfied. I know that I need these things as well. I miss being busy when I am idle for a long time.
Expectations come in almost, if not all situations. We expect that we will get this and that, but usually we never do. What I learned is to hope, instead of expect. That way, I am able to experience the excitement that something I want to have will arrive, or some opportunity will come, or someone will be there for me, and the like. And if things did not turn the way I hoped them to be, it would not be as hard accepting the truth, rather than if I expected in the first place.
On another note, I am totally shocked with the number of visits that my other post is generating – the BPI-DOST Awards entry I posted last Saturday. I never imagined that it will be this huge. I have received various comments from different people, both involved and not on the event (as organizers, participants, friends, visitors, or blog readers). Thanks for visiting my blog. This is just a venue for me to share my thoughts and feelings on certain issues.
This post may not be too coherent – an obvious sign of stress hahaha
Till next time.
