When Yixin is super stressed, overloaded with work, at her breaking point, she realized that she...

1. Barked at anyone whom gets into her way

2. Bitched, moaned and whined (BMW) at every opportunity she has

3. Feels sorry for herself

4. Fell asleep during morning classes while trying her best to stay awake

5. Sleep very little, like 2-3 hours a day

6. Slept alot, when she really do have the opportunity to sleep

7. Camped overnight at her dearest office many times in the week so she can avoid midnight cabs

8. Went for food therapy. Eat whatever her heart desired

9. Super low tolerance for anyone whom threw additional "shit" into her space. Either end in cat fights or threw the "dun-f*ck-with-me-look"

10. Distracts herself by organizing her laptop and creating folders

11. Distracts herself by doing anything but work

12. Avoid distractions and keep working

13. Keep sighing alot

14. Not bath or changed for days

15. Avoid people and back into her zombie-like-state

16. Keep promoting her book, Pick Me Up, at every opportunity she has

17. Felt like crap and wanna threw in the towel

18. Tries her best to cheer people up. B'cos to cheer ppl. up, she gotta cheer herself up 1st.

19. Miss her family, dates, friends alot... so she took up her calendar and scheduled all these appointments for herself to welcome some fun back

20. Did her best to appear "invisible" so her profs would not recognize that she was late for morning classes

21. Tried to enroll her profs to buy her book so they would excuse her for classes. Afterall, it's for a good cause.





Did i mention it's only 21 days for January? It felt like I've just lived thru an entire year itself.

Alright... enuff distractions for me.

Back to work again...
