Quick update

[tenlittlebullets]

I am okay. I spent most of yesterday being extremely not okay, but now that the drama has calmed down and all my major exams are over I am okay. I'm still stressed about the project, but that is manageable stress, not "bursting into tears in the library because I can't handle it all" stress. And now that the project is the only immediate source of stress I can take a deep breath, look around, and realize I did not bomb my exams. The Monday one was not a fair representation of my knowledge of the material, because I had not slept and was loopy, but I think I did a decent (though not stellar) job on it. Probably better than I did on today's exam, but today's exam was hard and I did do my best on it, so I am willing to accept it as a brutally honest evaluation of how much I retained from the course.

*takes a deep breath and lets it out* All of my major exams are over. Academic hell is not over, but what's left is not going to count for as much in my grades as the exams did.

And tonight toi_marguerite and I gave an informal concert and it was fun. I've done vocal recitals, but I've never had the chance to really work an audience before, and seeing people laughing or mouthing the words along with me helped kill my stage fright.

And the winter is finally over here, which is helping my mood a lot.
