It's Sunday night and as I sit down to finish up my homework for Monday I find myself asking... where did the weekend go? The days of working for the weekend seem to be over, because it is quite the opposite. These past weeks I have had either tests to study for or papers to write and I find myself huddled away in some corner of Steenbock (the best library ever) at 10 am on a Saturday. It is hard to imagine that in a month it will be summer and I will actually be sleeping in until 10 am on my Saturdays. It just seems like too much to ask. I guess it is times like these that you keep working towards the light at the end of the tunnel. It is just hard to find the motivatio when you know another hurdle is waiting right around the corner. I suppose the best way to handle my stress is to read a book or play a video game. Those are the only two activities that seem to completely clear my mind. The only problem is both can be addicting so I tend to keep them on a minimum. I'm curious to hear what everyone else does to relieve stress from school or work. With the end of the semester approaching, I am sure all of us could use a few pointers.

To ease the stress, I try to find a little extra time to sit down and watch TV or a movie. Unfortunately, that often leads into "just one more" show or movie and then I'm right back where I was when I started. But it is nice to be stress-free for a little while.
If I watch something I have seen a lot, and I don't have to pay attention to it, I can sometimes get work done while watching it
I prefer videogames to help me relax a little. Nothing like a little blood and gore to help me feel better about those professors that give me too much homework.
By the way, Wendt Library is so much better than Steenbock.
I play a videogame to relieve the stress too, but I play a puzzle game that ends after 8 rounds. If I play RPG, I will get hooked and neglect all the studying that needs to be done.
