Something new?

26 years old and still learning.

1. I prefer warm weather to cold. I hadn't thought this was so, but as the blazing sweaty Indiana grew warmer and warmer, and I was sweaty, I found myself shuddering with the idea that in 6 months or less, I would be wearing a million layers and freezing cold. I had always thought I preferred cold weather.

2. I never considered myself an anxious person. But here I am second year of grad school, and I am having trouble breathing and my stomach hurts with anxiety. Weird huh? Upon talking to my brother, I realized I had been anxious when I was working at blue cross. I had little mantras for every time the phone rang and I had to pick it up such as: "This too will pass" "its going to be okay" "you can do it" and then I also remembered high school where, driving or busing, I would always freak out about getting there late(I remember just having to sit back in the car and try to breath deeply because of the traffic, ah it was terrible), so I would usually be quite early. How come I never noticed this tendency toward anxiety? and what do I do about it now. I hate this anxiety feeling. I need a new mantra. argh!
