Stress isn’t my forte. I do have an awful habit of letting things get to me for instance I had my 3rd pitch for college this week and I can admit I got round to making the presentation a bit late. By that I mean the night before. I made it in video form a decent mixture of pitch and trailer that wasn’t completely ripped to shreds by my lecturers. Their main point of feedback was fair. I can’t point to the core mechanic though now that I sit down and think good ideas are starting to form.
I had a panic attack on the Tuesday just before I went to college it was a mix of reasons not just the impending pitch that was hanging over me like a grim specter and the death of my lovely new phone. The worst part is because it was bought in Germany Google decided to make things awkward and refuse to process the repair unless I sent the phone to Germany first… I couldn’t even pay shipping direct to them myself. Now that is annoying.
I managed to avoid the worst of the panic attack largely through breathing. I locked myself in the bathroom and just breathed for about 5 minutes. A councilor thought me to breathe through a panic attack with in for a count of 7 and out for 11. There is a slight problem with that is I can breath in and out that long
But still it is a useful tip
Another one I have I got from a book on meditation I cant for the life of me remember which one though but I focus on the sensations in my body and just let myself feel them I end up sort of watching them run their course.
The rest of the week went ok I spent most of it chasing down leads on repairing the phone. Writing it’s harder to keep up now that the first draft of the novel is finished and cooling in a drawer. I need the time to get perspective before I hack it a part and rebuild it. I am just dreading the spelling mistakes. In the mean time I a, writing little flash fictions. Nothing fancy 300-500 words. Usually describing a thing. Its enjoyable but it has less urgency then the novel.
Last night I went to interaction redux. A kind of summery of a user interface design conference that I honestly never heard of though it did sound interesting. I went with some guys in my class and while nothing said was entirely new I didn’t enjoy it was more about concept and ideas rather then actual techniques. I did take a lot of notes. They definitely got more interesting after beer and pizza. I even wrote a little motivational letter to myself. God knows what my brain was thinking. I wont be sharing the contents of the letter though. That is private.
Now I am very tired. I have a lot to think about and do over this weekend. My boss lent me her copy f the south park game. Might let the boyfriend do that while I do college stuff.
