breathing

it's that time of the semester. the time where I feel a slight tightening in my chest, where I feel slightly on edge, where tears are quick to spring to the eyes. maybe this time has come a bit earlier with my TA duties and the fact that I have major paper due in three weeks (that I haven't started). whatever it is, this feeling is nearly paralyzing. skipped yoga to have a bit of nap (desperately needed), but am feeling off kilter. am going to try and get on with it...finish plato reading and then on to the book for violence. really not sure how I'm going to get through the next couple of months. breathe, breathe, breathe.

self-doubt has undermined many. I'm certain of it.
