Keeping you updated

Just came off a bit of a difficult weekend. It started Thursday afternoon when I spoke to my advisor about some last minute revisions on thesis. He was ready to sign but it wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement. This resulted in a tantrum where I took out all my anger on food and kitchen implements. Friday was slightly better, still some residual tantrum. Saturday, the family was over and I yelled at my BIL over his proof reading skills. The crux of the issue was the fact that the advisor caught some typos and other errors that I felt the BIL should have been more aware of. In one sense, when I ask someone to do something I expect it to be done promptly and thoroughly. I guess it's like someone once said, "expectations are resentments under construction." On the subject of the family coming over, generally not my favorite event to begin with because of all the stress. I'm not very good with these big family meals. Too much anxiety. Anyway, back to the weekend, yesterday things finally calmed down and I went to get my hair down. I'm glad I went yesterday as opposed to Friday because I would've just been watching the clock too much. Do you sense a theme here? I tend to make a big deal over things that may or may not be such a big deal? Why do I do this? Maybe this is something I should learn to stop doing. It would certainly help me maintain a sense of composure. Hopefully now that I'm essentially done with grad school I can learn to relax more and not make such a big deal out of every little thing.
