Five words

Five words to describe my state of mind at this very moment:

Pain - my back is bothering me again, but that's nothing groundbreaking. I think it's because I've been sitting at the computer for the last few days. The reaction's gotta show somewhere, I guess...

Anxiousness - I really, really hope that a certain someone will get the medical clearance to particpate in the World Championships in a few weeks' time. There are reports reporting for as well as against. Pretty, pretty please! Not another year without him.

Pressure - School work, obligations, summer jobs... you name it, I feel it.

Gratitude - I'm not alone. There are so many good things in my life, things I mostly take for granted, like family and friends. I'm extremely lucky! So why do I complain all the time...?

Messiness - You should see my room right now. After a week of working on a deadline, sleeping few hours, and being lazy in general, this place looks like a post-explosion. Especially my room. What else is messy? My hair, after a long shower.
