5 minutes escape and stress

This week I am going to talk about my stress diagram.  First of all, stress diagram helps us to understand how our stress spread, and how percentages they are.  As a normal person, I also have stress.  I am going to talk about my stress. Most of my stress, is my grade.  As known, I need to transfer to Whitman and ischool.  So I have to work on high grade.  I have been feeling stressed out since the beginning of this semester.  I really want to achive my goal and transfer into Whitman and ischool.  In addition,  I have some stress about my future.  As I am studying in university, I need to worry about what I am going to do in the future. I want to get internship during summer.  However, it does look like that it is easy.  Moreover, I want to apply an RA for next year.  I don’t have a lot confidence about that. It is also a good opportunity for me. I really want to get that. 
Second, I want to talk about five minutes escape. Taking a break is very important. keeping work will make people fatigue.  Once I study every 2 hours, I will take about 10 minutes or 20 mintues break.  Or I call it 5 mintues escape.  During that 5 mintues, I will have a deep breath. Or think something else, try to let my brain take a break.   Or sometimes, I will wash my face or try to breath my teeth.  I also call that 5 minutes escape. I try to keep my brain very clear. 
Blue is GPA concern
Red is career concern
Purple is  life stress.
