Wok and Talk

For the first time in my life

… I’m just so tired with school.

I can’t wait to graduate because I’m beginning to feel really burnt out.

I’ve felt burnt out before but that was from the combination of all the extra-curricular commitments, work … now with about 6 more weeks left until I finally finish my degree, I’m finding that I’d much rather dedicate my waking hours to work & my clubs than have to deal with responding to an article, or posting discussion up.

Just looked at a job application

And it asked for “Knowledge of chaos theory, happenstance, and positive uncertainty.”

The position is that of a Career Advisor.

I’m sorry, what.

My boss just reminded me I have a presentation to make

… at a meeting with the director of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.

I prepared and compiled a report from data done from a survey, and it’s all fancy-schmancy, but I absolutely forgot I had a meeting, much less a presentation, with an external director.

Slacks, a hoodie and undone hair omg guys

Relearn how to breathe

Do this exercise five times a day and you’ll start thinking and performing better in no time

1. Inhale deeply
2. Exhale with a short burst (as if blowing out a candle). This helps activate your diaphragm, which most people don’t use.
3. Exhale with a long, slow finish to empty the lungs. Breathlessness comes from not expelling enough CO2.
4. Inhale, filling your lungs from the bottom to the top, instead of taking short sips. Most use a third of their lung capacity.
5. Hold for a moment to allow oxygen to saturate the cells.
6. Exhale slowly and completely.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for five minutes.
