The next 5-6 weeks are going to be a mess of essays, presentations and reports for Uni, all while trying to continue with most of the rest of life… So I may be a little absent in that time.
(Dreaming of Summer Holidays in Newcastle)

Good luck with it all! It sure is a crazy time at the moment :)
I like to make sure I fit in my workouts – that’s my way of de-stressing!

Bootcamp yesterday morning kicked my butt… literally my glutes are KILLING me this morning!! :D I’m planning on signing up for 2 sessions a week in the lead up to xmas from start of November, so if I on;t get those two sessions in each week I know they’re good ones!
Bath, book and booze (preferably a nice crisp cold white wine) generally de-stresses me. The other thing that works is turning my music up really loud, i recommend music from your childhood that is terribly corny now, and dancing or cleaning the house. Somehow the combination of music memories, physical exertion and a nice, tidy clean house makes all the worries go away – for a short time anyway :)

heh. I think I’ll be encouraged to do the cleaning one, though the bath sounds great
Sometimes cleaning my apartment destresses me- something about having a shiny kitchen and nice clean sparkly floors.
Good luck with all of your assessment.

Those horses are awesome.
I wish I could go back to undergrad days and just sit at a bench and streak plates and just chat with a work mate about stuff and not have to think about anything important.
I’d like to go back to undergrad days too! Or at least ditch the full time work part ;) (and keep the full time earnings?)
I’m doing it tonight since I have been working non stop all day. I’m chilling out in front of some episodes of Dexter, Mad Men and the Inbetweeners :)

Currently sitting down with my feed reader and a cup of lemongrass and ginger tea.
Ditto for eps of Dexter and Mad Men as well as 30 Rock and The Office USA.

Added a link too… homemade pizza is great for stress relief (and procrastination! Hehe.)

I do my dough in the breadmaker :) it works well… though I’m sure kneading would be good for stress!
The beach is a great place to relax. I’m in Chicago, so if I want company, the downtown beaches are great. If I want peace or somewhere where I can let my two boys run wild without having to watch too closely, I take a quick trip to Michigan.
In Michigan, the boys and I take turns doing what we like. While I read they build in the sand. Then we go into the water together for a while before returning back to the sand. At sunset, a quick walk to the local bar/restaurant caps a great day.
Sounds like a plan :)
I think reading under the umbrella on a nice hot beach day can’t come soon enough!
