Not feeling it

It's almost been a week now of shivering, fear and stress. I don't cope well with exams, and that is a 'skill' I lost at 17, at my final exams for senior high school. A nightmare I still remember.

Today I had my first exam. It went well, I think. Last night my house had no power and no water (strikes, strikes everywhere) so I was even more stressed while trying to remain sane and revise. I am trying to keep myself calm by all means: yoga, meditation music while sleeping, valerian extract pills, lavender relaxing mist on my pillow. All combined, they help. Luckily!

I also lost a whole kilo, which is the positive side note. I like laying down on my stomach to sleep and feeling every inch of your stomach matching with the mattress. That said, I am still consulting a nutritionist and trying everything the healthy way, it's just this feeling. This. Feeling.

  4. Deep breaths and check out Conjure One and E.S.Posthumous for more nice music. Also Salmonella Dub if you can find it over there.

    Look after yourself, ok?
