My Ulcer

Just getting this out there from the beginning, I don't have an ulcer. It's a joke. I'm funny.


But really, I stress myself out way too easily. Part of being the planner that I am is that I think through all sides of a situation. Which also makes me a worrier. I think through all the different outcomes and then focus on the most terrible one. Naturally.


Interviews are this week. I know I've blogged about them quite a bit, but this is a major part of my life, people! I've been looking forward to an internship for about three years now, thinking that I have all the time in the world to prepare...and now that time is just three and a half short days! AHH. And on top of that, I was reminded of the very competitive nature of this internship and consequently started freaking out.

I can't stop thinking about the interview. It's so bad that I've given myself a stomach twitch. And I looked it up this morning, and it's a thing. If you have anxiety or too much stress you develop some sort of stomach twitch. AND I HAVE IT. And when you think about it, it starts up again. Totally a mental thing, and I hate it. Probably going to turn into an ulcer.

I also may have a dose of hypochondria, but that's another story.

So to keep my mind off the interview, I'll be spending my time reading and sleeping and planning lessons and studying for my El Ed content test (Praxis). And while I'm at school, I'll be musing at the poor sixth graders going through the maturation class.


This time next week I'll know my fate!!
