Stressed and Exhausted


At last, I already finished the transcript of the last Committee meeting I attended after two months. But now, my body’s aching, hands are numb with pins and needles in my fingers, my vision is blurry and still I have so many things to do. I have to send the minutes of our meeting to our secretary tomorrow so we can send it to members on Monday.

There are times that I can still feel the earphones locked in my ears. My fingers are like shaking terribly and uncontrollable. Even in my dreams, transcribing is haunting me.

Last Wednesday, at the shuttle bus on my way to the office, I was sleeping (I still have one and a half hour to do that) when I had a dream. I was cramming to finish my transcript because I have to attend to my class after 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I immediately went to my class and disappointingly, I can’t remember anything to say to my students. I was getting mad because I am telling my students so many things not related to our lesson for that day. After my class, I was so upset and I just wanted to quit teaching. When I was about to cry, I was saved from that pathetic situation by a little kid sitting beside me at the bus with his tantrums. Fortunately, I was just dreaming.

Hmm.. I do not know if I'm just stressed with my work, or I'm just excited to see my students on Saturday. But now, I'm just so exhausted and stressed-out. I think I'm gonna be sick.
