Hi, fellow humans! :-) 1. My week was (and still is) very exhausting. But I am also doing pretty good now! Hope it'll last for some time... 2. Anything and everything I guess. Wish me luck, I finally connected with new therapist and I hope he would be good. 3. Bowie's Next day❤

I honestly don't know what to do anymore in life . My depression is really getting worse , and I am tired of taking meds all the time . Every day , every moment is a struggle . I can't remember the last time I had even a little moment of peace . Why me ? What wrong have I done to deserve this ? 😔☹️☹️

@calmsoulmeet Hello, let us know if you'd like to talk more, we are here for you. Just remember that this is depression, not you, you are the perfect wonderful and happy person underneath all those dark clouds of wrong thoughts. Those are blocking the sun but the sun is always there. The clouds will pass for sure...

I've been training a new colleague since yesterday (Wednesday) until tomorrow (Friday).. which means lesser work for me as I give her more chances to do the job tasks for my shift. Otherwise, I've been quite tired the week, and I haven't started my second Short Essay yet, which will be due June 3rd. I'm thinking of using the weekend to do the readings, then work on the essay itself next week. As I'm only working on the Monday. After, I'll have to start doing some research on my term paper, and catch up on the unit chapters. Final exam will be June 22nd! It's coming up so fast! I'm totally stressing out about my summer course, I really shouldn't have registered for the summer class, it's way too compacted and I've been working more shifts, I basically only have the weekend to study and work on assignments. I'd love to have some mental support on this stress. Doesn't help when I sleep at night that I don't feel rested. Songs or albums I can have on repeat, anything by Super Junior or IU. I can repeat it all day, every day!~

1) How's your week has been? Kinda bad. My fiance' left yesterday for Yosemity, to help other people. She hasn't called or texted since she left.

2) Is there anything we can support you with? Probably not. She says she will move out of my house after she gets back. She still loves me, but I will see her a lot less.

3) What song or album could you listen to on repeat? I am a musician. I would not listen to any song on repeat.

Take it all a step at a time. I am sure that you are in pain right now. Remind yourself that you can't know exactly what will happen next. Sometimes it helps just to keep writing things out. Feel free to share here any time. @Offmytrack

Last day of the month. A shift starting in 30 minutes from now, morning shift. I felt like I haven't slept at all though. It was hot last night, and just before I fell asleep, something happened.😱 I suddenly felt like someone was on top of me, and was touching my body and face. For a good 10 seconds, I was so scared to move. When I did move, it seemed like I saw a shadow. (Making this sound like a ghost story). So, I couldn't sleep until nearly 2am, when I went to bed before 10am. I originally had my alarm set for 5:30am, but changed it to 6am. Of course, then I'd wake up like 5 minutes before my alarm goes off. I think I'll need a nap after work this afternoon. For the next three days, up until 11pm on Thurs, I'll need to frantically work on that Short Essay. The help I was expecting from a friend, she sent me a message last night, she's home with the flu. So, I might need to end up doing the Short Essay myself. At first, I was hoping I could compare it with how she interpreted the reading materials with mine. Now, that seems somewhat impossible. Also, the link I gave her, she couldn't open it. So, she only have one of the readings. I got my grade back for the first Short Essay, got 74%, so a B borderline B+. Since the grading system is 68%-79% as B-/B/B+. The only thing I don't like is the professor didn't give any physical feedback. So, I don't know what I need to improve on to get a higher grade, don't know if I made any mistakes or not, if I followed the correct format that is required. I tried doing some research for the Term Paper over the weekend. But I need to mainly work on that second Short Essay these days, due midnight of June 3rd. Luckily I don't have anymore work until 3rd week of June. I can focus on the Term Paper and catching up on the units and studying at the same time for the final exam on June 22nd. Only problem here is, I also have a shift that day, and I won't be able to do the final until after my shift. Luckily I've asked the professor if there was a limited time frame to do it, and he said no. So, basically have the whole day to choose to complete the final exam, just with the 2hr limit. The next three weeks will be crazy busy for me. I'm not looking forward to it~

I'm to compare and contrast George Kennan's assessment of Soviet foreign policy from his Long Telegraph February 22, 1946 with Novikov Telegram 1946 assessment of American foreign policy. Given 2 documents, to write up the Short Essay with 3 main points to compare and contrast with them. I don't think History is my thing, the readings are difficult to understand. I read it, but I don't know what I've read. Let alone, find three points to talk about~

I'm really stuck now. It's noon already, and I still have no idea what I'm reading. We are only allowed to use the given documents for the information to write on. I can't even get myself to concentrate much on the readings. It's so long, I think I'm doomed with this short essay~

Relax, you aren't doomed. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was gone late last night and couldn't find time to get on to post. Okay, so ask a few questions - What do these two guys think that foreign policy should do? What is their reaction to Asia in particular? What role does the fact that one is communism and other is capitalism play? Those are all in there and they make up 3 main points. Just describe if each is similar or different in each area and WHY that might be so. You can do this! @Jaeteuk

Thanks for responding! My documents doesn't mention much about the influence to Asia. I had a good read over the documents this morning and I've finally started writing the essay. I'm currently on the second body paragraph. The points I found are similar to the ones you've mentioned. So, I think I'm finally getting back on track. I think I'll finish the body paragraphs tonight, then work on the conclusion tomorrow. My thesis statement will have to be last again. I seem to always have trouble trying to use one sentence to sum up my 3 main points. I do have until midnight to submit my file, and I hope my other friend could help me check for grammar again~

If you need an extra paragraph, imagine how they would react to Asia if they had to. They may not mention Asia but it is certainly on their minds and it was one of the reasons that Korea and Vietnam became issues. But it sounds like things are beginning to come together. I am so sorry that I missed that one day. @Jaeteuk

No worries, I have no idea how I ended up finishing it. I hope the points I chose were correct and I get a better grade than the first essay. I think I'll start doing my research for the paper over the weekend. Probably spend a week gathering info for the paper, then spend the second week writing it up. I chose the topic: Asian Tigers. Needing to find similarities and differences between their patterns of growth and development that would merit (or not) grouping them together as a common set of states. There were 22 given topics to choose from. I chose this one because South Korea is included as one of the Tigers. I briefly looked at the library of my college, there doesn't seem to be many scholarly articles about it though. I might need to look at other sources for more scholarly articles. By the way, is there a difference between the Chicago Styles 16th and 17th Edition? We are asked to use the 16th Edition~

I just looked it up and there are just a few differences between 16 and 17. The biggest that I saw is with 16 you continue to use Ibid. where as 17 eliminates it. Ibid is a rather weird thing to begin with. When you cite a source the first time, you have a big long citation. If (and only if) the next citation is from the same exact source you use the Latin "Ibid." However, if the next source is from something else then you don't use the Ibid. Does that make any sense?

As far as the tigers go, I don't know much, but I can see tomorrow what I can locate easily. It is an interesting topic. It is great that you were able to get the paper done.@Jaeteuk

So, as long as I only cite one point per article, I should be okay to follow the 17th Edition?

Thanks. I tried looking for some info today, found 3 articles so far and they don't exactly say how they've grown economically. Studies I've found only talked about certain aspects (companies, culture), but not general growth and development of each Tiger~

Crying is good and it is something to be proud of. It can be exhausting though. You aren't dead and you do have emotions. You can find yourself again. @creativePlace9492
