Stressed Out!!!!

I am super stressed out these days. Orals are in one week. In fact, at this time next week I will be done with orals and I am sincerely hoping that I pass outright instead of passing with contingencies. I am so done right now I could scream but I just have to make it a little longer....

I am also trying to become employed with the agency I'm working at as well, which is proving much more difficult than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, I did sign my soul to the state in exchange for them paying for my graduate education, but given this fact, I would think they'd be eager to hire me and the other students in my position....but no, it's not to be. Anyway, I may have a nibble right now, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I've been baking and cooking more than ever recently because of all the stress. (If you ask me, the best way to relieve stress is to bake away your nervousness.) In the past week, I've made chocolate chip cookies, lemon meringue pie, thumbprint cookies, oreo cheesecake, Stromboli, ravioli, and more. Fortunately for me, I do not really enjoy eating all that stuff I make, so it's up to my roommates to do the job for me. They just groan every time I start pulling out the ingredients, but I know they secretly love it. Although I think we are all gaining weight so it will be a good thing when school is over so I will be less stressed out.
