In the fourth week of classes, all coursework, testing and clubs are in full swing. I have meetings most nights and my first exam later this week. This triggers a feeling of nervousness. I know that I have good time management abilities but I still sometimes stress about being able to get everything done. This is not a pleasant feeling when judged on a bipolar scale. To combat my nervousness, I usually resort to list making. Most likely, before the night is done I will write out a few lists of what all I need to do these next couple days to stay on top of everything.
Yesterday I had a feeling of stress. I had to take my car into the dealership due to my "service engine soon" light turning on. I found out later that my car required over $900 in repairs. This was very stressful at first. My stress lessened when I learned that only a very small portion of the repairs need to be done now. The other repairs can be taken care of when I am home with my parents. My stress also lessened because the staff at the dealership were extremely easy to work with. They offered a shuttle service that dropped me off and picked me up since I had to leave my car there over night. This feature was very accommodating. Even though this was an unpleasant feeling at the time triggered by the high costs, the feeling has subsided and I am now more relieved.
