Return to Return to the Campus

Well, got another semester starting on the 23rd. Only 12 units this time, so hopefully it won't be as draining as last semester was, but it'll still be a full-time load.

Also, is it natural for syllabi to cause stress or frustration in their readers, or do I need to try to adjust my attitude? Out of my 3 classes that have published syllabi, only 2 haven't caused my eye to vaguely twitch in aggravation at at least one point. I know things are going to feel better after I actually start the classes, but I would prefer not feeling this bitter at all.

On a related note, does anyone have any advice for dealing with frustration? Lately, it feels like I've gotten less capable at coping with it, even in situations where I know it's not important (I will neither confirm nor deny recently spending the minutes in bed before falling asleep dwelling on a loss in an overcomplicated game of Solitaire). It's making me feel childish, and not in a good way.
