Thanks for all the feedback you guys. Truth is a lot of what you guys say makes a lot of sense to me, in fact I think I already knew a lot of this. I know there really isn't any excuse for me to continually feeling this way. I think the hardest part is realizing that emotions override rational, and keeping my cool when that emotional burst strikes. I think it's also important for me to keep these things in perspective.
Pdamoc, I've actually started exercising a lot over the past month and a half. I usually get up around 2-3 hours before my first class starts everyday and go running for 20-30 minutes around my neighborhood.
Alvin, coincidentally, that's one thing I've been proud of myself for doing lately. I didn't think I'd be able to consistently wake up so early every morning to go for a 20 minute jog but I've been doing it for over a month now (well ok sometimes I skipped a day or two but other than that it has been very consistent).
Mark, I actually have a really good friend right now who supports me. It's funny because we have a reciprocating kind of relationship. Somedays when I'm down he plays the role of counselor/motivational speaker and other days when he's down, I play that role. It's been really cool.
Well thanks again you guys, I'm going to put a 110% effort into this!
