Don't Panic!

So, we're all under a lot of stress at the moment right? For one reason or another we are all panicking about Uni/Work/Economy, well this particular post is just for me to make a list of the things that are stressing me and try and organise them.

Okay so bang in at the top of the list you've got work.  Brand new job, still learning the ropes, can't be doing with uppity little cows who think they're the shit even though they have no authority over me or any of the other people I'm working with.  I know I'm new but leave me to get on with it, I'll get there eventually.
Other than that I quite like my job, the hours are long and my feet and legs pretty much constantly hurt at the moment but that will pass and its good money for not a huge amount of hard work.

In it at number two - "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  Now if any of the cast are reading this  - DON'T PANIC!  Everything will be fine in the end, I'm just stressing about having to put together the set/lights/backstage crew when at the moment I feel like I have neither the time nor the energy to do any of these but I just need to realise that come the end of this week it will all be sorted and come the end of the week after that it will all be over (eep!).  I'm sure its going to be a fantastic show, I'm just terrified by how much of it relies on me.  - Take note future Director, plan early and start making your set asap!!

Number three, Dissertation.  Ah how that word is the bane of my life.  Enough said really.

Number four, having no time.  I know everyone complains that they don't have a day off etc. but I really don't! Mondays I have LoCo and sometimes work, Tuesdays I have a lecture, Wednesday I have a lecture and Spotlight rehearsals, Thursday I have work, Friday I have LoCo, Saturday and Sunday I have work.  Aaargh!! I just miss the days when every day was a day off!!

Coming in at number five we have campaigning! Now much as I would love to win this thing, and get the job that I've wanted since I started Uni, its got to a point now where it has caused so much tension (particularly between a certain two people) that I just don't see the reasoning behind it anymore, I mean I don't understand why it has got to the point where it is such a big thing in life!!

Number six is moving house! They say the two most stressful things you will ever do (assuming that you die peacefully in your bed and don't have to spend hours worrying about death) are move house and get married. I have to say I totally agree with this.  Particularly when you suddenly realise that you won't be able to afford to continue where you are living after a certain date and realise that you will have to sell a lot of the possessions that you have grown accustomed to. I love the fact that I own my own three piece suite but at the end of the day, I just have to face facts, its going to have to go, I can't afford to store it and I'm now panicking about what I can and can't keep/where i'm going to store it all and how I'm going to get it down to Somerset!!

Now, in reality there are a few other things that are stressing me out here as well, in particular silly little arguments that keep breaking out amongst my group of friends but I realise that it is all down to the fact that we are all staring down the barrel of a gun at the moment in terms of our futures and tensions are running high!!

I have a theory, that as soon as the sun starts shining on a regular basis, we will be fine :)

Tomorrow, in order to counteract this depressing little opening blog, I shall write one about all the people/things that make me happy.  Hopefully that will cheer me up too. Tomorrow I shall also be making two thrones...I can't sew...should be interesting!
