Stress

Lack of sleep. Anxiety does that to you. Where you toss and turn each night. She haunts you in nightmares - falling off a cliff in her bright red dress only to reappear by your side... a ghost.

She is your fear. Where the scale stares back at you with double digits - the last time you had even imagined being below 3-digits was in the 5th grade. But food does not tempt you anymore. Nothing tastes right.

You lick your lips, dry and chapped. Shriveled up prunes they are. Because of anxiety.

Anything you do to try and calm the storms just gets flushed away. Round and round it spins down the endless black hole. And you are once again left behind with...

Anxiety.

Wow - you're going all psychedelic on us! And I should be saying this, right. Very vivid imagination - I wonder what Freud would've said :-)

Bon Voyage and Buona Fortuna!

A warm welcome to Asia! Enjoy your holiday.

I'm sure it's going to be that much better with all the good news from K/Chi/Cornell flowing in while you are here!!

psychedelic is the right word !
im sure...no...im confident...that you will do fine and come out on top..
just do me a favour though..take a LARGE drink when you step on that plane...pass out...sleep well..and have a blast in Asia...
I reaaaallllllllyyyy hope that you get into Stanford (and so do i)...and perhaps we can continue the psychedelic discussion there (hell..we could even start the psychedelic club)
cheers
Ash
PS: keep us posted on the results

That plane ride can be brutal! I suggest lots of wine. The best part about vacations is getting to eat lots of food. Stay healthy and I hope to read good news soon.
