losing my marblesi am one stressed mess.
i've been at home for the whole day and i'm nowhere near halfway through my newspaper design and layout. ARGH. it's so frustrating. i've got the concept in my head but the execution is difficult, and it's not because i'm inept with indesign (i've got a decent mastery of it already). translating thought into something concrete isn't that easy. the fonts, the colour, the layout of the pages, the masthead, it's all giving me a hard time.
SIGH. right now it doesn't look like how i want it to be. or even how it's supposed to be. i don't even have a front page yet. there's still tomorrow to work this out. loose ends must be tied up before tuesday if not i'll be going nutso.
increased stress levels induces food cravings. this time, for chocolate. chowing down a bar of cadbury, and downing it with tea knowingly awhile before afternoon run does nothing for my discipline. so the only kinda workout i've been getting - finger exercises.
