How do you relieve stress?

[CalliesMom]

Not to change the subject, but I am. Pembroke, what department did you apply to? The reason I ask is that I graduated from Auburn this past August. Just curious.

I drink green tea. Hot tea always makes me feel more relaxed. I listen to music, cuddle with Finn. I'll work out, too, if I'm needing something more to pump me up than relax me. Or I'll go get something really luxurious done, like a pedicure. Sometimes just sitting outside watching the sunset is nice, too. Dancing at the end of the week is always something I look forward to, also.

I applied to the Phd program in experimental psychology. What dept. were you in?

Veg out with a book, a lapful of cats, and VOX on XM radio (sorry for the commercial... )

I was out at the vet school. I have a friend who is in his 3rd year of his PhD program in psychology and there were only 3 people (inc. him) who were accepted that year. I know funding is really difficult to find and he struggles with the stipend he is paid. He has to work another job, as well, to support himself.

long walks/talks with my puppers, listening to music, hot showers...

Sorry about school. When I'm really stressed, the last thing I think
about is food.What works for me is working around the house.I clean up
a storm,scrubbing, polishing & sweeping.
