Today was the first day I started to feel like an actual functioning human being again since finishing Spring semester finals. Started. I knew that finals had me stressed and feeling awful in general for a solid 2 weeks, but I honestly did not think it would take me more than a day or two to bounce back. Stress is a emeffer. Anyway, I actually enjoyed training today and that made me happy since I felt relatively ready for nationals a month ago, but now feel like I'm playing catch up to get back to being even halfway ready. But like I said before, it could always be worse. At least I DO have these 3 weeks to attempt to get back to where I was before going into the the gauntlet of finals.
