working on drawing a straight line. i'll draw until i get one right.

I had a terrible day the other day; it's the time in the semester when i get really stressed out with the amount of paperwork i need to hand in to my instructors and the fear of exams looms over my head with my heart racing, always thinking will i have enough time? it was one of those days when one things runs into the other and pile ontop of each other until all i'm aware of are the terrible things (that probably aren't really that terrible) that keep accumulating and happening to me. this is the cherry on top of my sundae of not-enough-sleep and too-much-stress and i arrived at dinner with tears forming in the back of my eyes. it was all i could do to escape to a coffee shop with my friend jen to work on a paper (combat stress with ..more stress?) which sometimes works if i can loose myself in my sociological mind in word form. tonight however, it took a song that i hadn't heard before to trigger something else to do. my angel rocks back and forth by the electronica band, fourtet played into my ears and triggered my senses and immediately made me want to be in uganda, or to do the next best thing..watch and compile all my favourite video clips from uganda. and this is the result. and it was healing. and the next day was an excellent, very good day.
