How do you guys cope with difficult times?
--------------

On saturday, I return to new york, and on sunday I have to drive my busted ass G to maine 350 miles away. In the 3 weeks I will be in maine I will have to write 2 six page papers, 3 four page papers, and finish about 4 short books. After that, I will have 3 final exams to finish. Every weekday I will have to attend (2)2 hour classes.

In the meantime, I need to replace my right rear spring (and spring seat) + reallign the vehicle (again) + argue with body shop (to pay for my damaged tints and interior/hupers=$$$$) + change my oil + reassemble my interior + search for spring compressor + machine inspect frame (visual inpection = OK).


I think for the meantime, I will try to finish 2 small papers before I leave/limp back to maine. I will also mount my all season/stock wheels and forget about the G during crunch week(s). I will try to hold off repair until I get back to NYC for winter break. I will avoid verbal interaction with the body shop manager and instead write letters directly to the boss. Hopefully I can just have the warranty repairs exported to my NYC body shop.

but this is my problem-----the plan sounds good, but...

all I think about while I study is fixing the G! All I want to do, is break out my random orbital and start polishing away! I want to jack up the G and fix that spring...I want to get things done! I dont want to argue with the jackass at the shop - I would rather just bring my G to my friends shop and send the bill to the other shop! So much less stress! All I do now is read the same sentence over and over and over again. a Cup of coffee or a cigarette will get me past a only chapter or two--- everything is distracting me! Including 6mt.net!

what do you guys do to cope with stress/anxiety and focus?!
