How to get up early in the mornings? Okay, I don't know about you, but I absolutely hate mornings. I despise them. They shouldn't even exist as they make me feel miserable, tired, unhappy, cranky. This is why I never manage to get up early. I always wake up after midday (yeah, I know. It's crazy) because I feel so tired and then I feel like crap because I've wasted that awful thing called morning. This often compromises the rest of the day, especially because I live with my parents and they don't like the fact I get up so late. So that adds up to my bad mood. I seem to lack the willpower to get up and also I am "scared" of what I'll have to face during the day. People, university, more people, traffic and I dunno what else. How do you manage to get up in the morning and keep awake and active during the day? (Please, correct any of my mistakes!)

Tendinitis because of computer! I'm afraid I'm starting to suffering from a light tendinitis due to too much use of the mouse. I work on the computer every day, usually more than 5 hours, to work, study and let's say it, also relax. I use the netbook mouse and I think that's the one causing me problems. After a few hours my thumb, hand and arm start to feel fatigued, even if I'm using a correct posture (I usually don't though); I'm worried I'll have to stop working on the computer for a few days, but just the thought is unbearable! Have you suffered from this kind of pain? (Please correct any mistake!)

Independence when you're young, so difficult to achieve. Independence. I am twenty-three years old and I'm feeling now more than ever the need to be independent, to have my own house (even a small apartment), a job, a relationship, all the stuff that is supposed to make me an adult, a grown up. However I'm still a University student, living with my parents and only doing some small online jobs. Don't get me wrong, mine is probably an "easy" life that many would like. But it doesn't satisfy me. Every single day I wake up thinking I'm still here and have to deal with my parents (and they have to deal with me!) and study and earn little money. Maybe this is why I do online jobs, because I strive to be independent. And also because my parents make me feel guilty for all the cats I have, since they have to pay for it all. Is this weird? Do you have your independence? (Please, let me know of any mistake!)
