Oh, for a Kit-Kat

I need a break. Uni goes on a one week hiatus next week, and I can't wait. Like many people I know, I've filled my life to the brim with activities in a delicate balancing act, and occasionally the fulcrum needs to be reset.

I suspect my body hasn't fully recovered from paintballing yet, because despite having two big events coming up (The Living End tonight and Oktoberfest tomorrow) I just can't seem to get excited about them. It's frustrating, because I *should* be having fun. I should be having a great day, with two hours of swing dancing and a concert by my favourite band in the evening. Yet all I want to do is remove myself from the world and sleep; these things that I've planned for myself are almost chores rather than enjoyable activities.

It's almost as if I'm expected to do them, and in a sense I am - I'm placing pressure on myself to go attend these events because I know I'll regret it if I don't. Whether in future I may have to swallow those regrets in the interests of preserving my health remaing to be seen, but at the moment I'm hoping a few decent meals and a good night's rest will sort me out.
