malaise march :(

reading week is. officially. OVER.
i am sad.
i am dead.
i am SO scared for the month of march, its my death month, i wish i could use a word that starts with "m" to describe the level of stress and the baldness (from pulling out every single strand of hair from my scalp) i will be expecting this month.
I want to find an adjective that starts with "m" because march starts with 'm', so it would sound catchier, you know, alliteration right?
okay.
MONSTER march.
there it is.

am i read for this Monster Month of March? (YAHHHH!)

...no.....
i'm scaredddddddddd and stressed for the stress already. the level of cortisol in my saliva will be sky high. (i learned in my anthropology of health class that if you have stress, the level of cortisol in your saliva will be high, which will also make you gain weight easier..darn)
the thought of all the essays, presentations, assignments...it makes me want to gulp down a big sip of saliva, not blink my eyes and start staring into blank space...and basically space out for a month, wake up from all the work and be like "dude, what happened? i have 5000 A+ quality essays sitting on my desk, i shall hand them in now.tee.hee."

BUT thinking about a verse that i've loved since high school...
"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." -phill 4:13
i am reminded that i can continually draw strength from an ever flowing pool of source.

so monster march will remain monstrous for now, but at the end when i pull through, i will be reminded that i could not have accomplished anything without Him who gave me strength, so i will rename it as MARVELOUS march. or MAGNIFICENT march..or MEMORABLE march..or... oh oh..MIGHTY march. yeah POWER!

haha, I thought that when you experience a high level of stress, you loose weight, not gain it. But I guess the smart U of T geeks know better. Don' worry. Just think about what an amazing summer you will have!
cheers!

You know, under stress, your internal cortisol level rises (saliva or not).
