spring break is finally here! who cares if it's not really spring yet. who cares if i'm really just taking a weekend break - i have so much work to do i'll be back on tuesday to finish more work. who cares if i'm going rafting, in the rain, in cold cold west virginia? hehe. yes, i'm going rafting, with my favorites friends here from uiuc. all 11 of us, driving down to west virginia in a car and a minivan. raft for a couple of days, then drive back. i hope it'll be fun, in fact i'm sure it would be fun.

i desperately need this break. i think i'm on the verge of break down anyway, from all this constant stress from my work. i mean, i'm doing rather well in most of my classes, so at least i am rewarded for my hard work. it's not a depressing kind of stress. but it's the sheer daily rush for deadlines, responsibilities, conscientious-ness and all that. it's just so hard to keep up with everything, everyday.

this morning, i had my electronics circuits exam. halfway through, i felt the world spin around me. literally. i was going to fall off my chair. had to close my eyes. and when that didn't work, i had to look up and stare at the classroom wall for a while before i could go back to my exam. so freaking scary. that's just it, that's my body telling me something, and no matter what, i'm just really glad it's finally spring break.

[D W: thanks, so touched to see you still keeping a look out for me!]

so yes, i'll be gone. thankfully. till next tuesday. when i'll be back and throwing myself into my work again.
