Swallowing anxiety.

I don't know.. I have a lot going on. It's my birthday week! I used to start counting days 2 months in advance because my birthdays were something just so special to me. This year is just different. My 19th birthday was awesome. I celebrated it with special people (at least at the time they were). And the 20th was just disastrous.
I have been so lucky that I have been blessed with people who love me. If a person can take a flight from Vancouver and surprise me for my birthday.. I don't know what else I could ask for.

However, this year.. it's just so weird. I have always had midterms and assignments around my birthday week. I had a mid-term the day OF my birthday for my 18th and it was so horrible because I was sick with food poisoning the night before. Something or the other is always there to ruin it. So, I decided not to get my hopes up for this one. I know it sounds silly.. but that's just how it is. The dates are giving me anxiety. It's the "fourth" today and tomorrow night, I will be getting phone calls and tonnes of messages on Facebook from people who don't bother talking to you the entire year and then send you a meaningless "happy birthday" just for the heck of it. On the other hand, I got my loved ones - always here for me :) love you guys!

I have a MAJOR assignment due for my Youth Justice class for tomorrow at 4:00 pm. I gotta say I haven't started. I am just about to, so I thought I would get distracting thoughts off my mind and published here - so I can actually begin writing it. The last assignment was rushed and it was a piece of crap. I realize I have the potential but I never use it. So this time, I will. I am at college till 11:30 pm tonight and I plan to get most of it done. I am off to univesity at 7:00 am tomorrow and I'll have till 3:30 pm to finish off whatever's left. Although, I really don't wanna leave it for tomorrow.

I haven't even had the chance to discuss with anyone what the hell I'll be doing this birthday. I haven't even spoken to Arshia. The readings and comprehensive lectures are consuming me.  My birthday, Diwali, Dushehra and Karvachauth, my brother's birthday and my childhood best friend's birthday - ALL this month!


So.. here I am with a large iced-coffee and a Banana nut muffin in a noisy lab. Let me try to finish off this assignment.. I'd like to ace this one rather than doing a crap job like I did before. Adios!

  1. First of all, welcome to university. You have been here a while already I assume?
    This life should be in grained into you. Your birthday, or at least to most university kids, is just an excuse to get piss drunk and then wake up the next morning puking. If you dont want to do that, great. Maybe its a nice family dinner?
    Point is, in the real world, birthdays are meaningless. You're young, despite your supposed lack of time, and company during this time, enjoy your birthday. It only gets worse as you get older. People are not the issue, time is.

    Secondly, get rid of the iced coffee and muffin. Instead pick up an apple, a bottle of orange juice, and perhaps since you are Indian, a healthy whole some Indian meal. None of that fatty fried shit, I know you guys have some healthy stuff going on.

    You will not only feel better, you will feel more alive, and more energetic, and of course perform better.
