Anxiety

So there are some very exciting things coming up in my life and they won't come fast enough. This is causing me some real stress and anxiety.

First, I am going to buy a new MacBook Pro with my extra grant money. BUT the money hasn't come all the way through quite yet and there are supposed to be updates soon on the computers (rumored to be) so now would not be a good time to buy. I check my grant money and the Apple website everyday.

Second, the cruise. I have been planning a Mexican cruise this summer with my friends. I have spent hours researching it and found prices and looked at videos/pictures and I am just so so so excited I just can't hide it! The anxiety comes from the difficulty to please everyone who wants to go, and having to wait all the way until SUMMER! ugh, it is so far away!!


Tools to conquer anxiety:
I have found some remedies that help calm my anxiety. They mainly sprout from things that make you feel better and include:
1. Workout/exercise daily
2. Eat healthy and cut out sweets/desserts (how many days is it now?)
3. Distract yourself with school work and work work

Any other suggestions? B/c these things are barely getting me by. . .

My wishes

I decided to make a list of all the things that I desire in my life right now. Some of you may feel the same desires and others won't (probably because you have already acquired what I seek). This will help everyone to get to know me just a little bit better. Also some of these things are just fantasy and may not come true but it doesn't keep me from wishing:

1. To be more outgoing
2. To be good-looking
3. An attractive girlfriend (but not just physically)
4. An iphone
5. An ipad
6. A Macbook Pro (I really do like Apple I guess)
7. My own car (Toyota 4Runners are my favorite)
8. To live on my own
9. A better paying job ( and one with a vision clinic)
10. To be more spiritually in-tune
11. A workout buddy
12. Hiking boots
13. A wet suit
14. Shelves in my bedroom
15. An "A" parking pass
16. Flat screen HDTV (BIG)
17. Unlimited purchases from itunes
18. A black labrador or a pit-bull
19. Money for my parents
20. A good singing voice (and maybe know how to play the guitar/piano well)
21. A trip to Europe
22. A trip to Disneyworld
23. A cruise (any but I really want Caribbean)
24. To be better at all sports
25. To always eat healthy (while not getting rid of sweets/desserts)


This is the top 25 that popped in my head, so they must be the ones I want more. That just makes me think that I am really worldly. Anyway, I do have more wants but I obviously don't think about them that much because I didn't add them to this list. I invite you all to post something similar so that I can learn more about you, or you could just comment on this about which ones you want too and which ones you don't care to have (feel free to give me some suggestions to as to things missing in my list). Thanks!
