thinking thinking thinking

This morning I realized what might be causing all the headaches: I think too much.
It's not funny...I really do think to much!
Martin tells me that I over-analyse everything and he is perfectly right! before I reach any cross roads I stop and think it all out. I think of all the possible pros and cons of every choice, and I even go further. I also come up with a number of "what if's" for what will be happening after that choice. ...And my little brain tries to analyse all this info to be able to choose the right path. And the path it tries to choose isn't the right path right now but it is the right path which will be right forever....and believe me, all this thinking and analyzing is bloody tiring!
At times I wish I could unplug my brain and live life on the spur of the moment and lock out all of this worrying and thinking and stuff...but when I stop and THINK about it I realize that I don't really want that either. When I was younger I used to make choices on the spur of the moment and I managed to collect quite a number of horrible choices over the years.
So NO, I don't want to stop thinking...I just want to find a way of switching it off during lectures or while I'm trying to understand the concepts behind X-ray diffraction or while working out vibrations tutorial sheets or even worse: while I'm trying to fall asleep...even though I found a solution for that: I start counting and by the time I'm at one hundred forty something I fall asleep. lol
Oh, and I think I know why I like the Networks lectures. My brain seems to analyse stuff in exactly the same way as we analyse networks to find the shortest path from a to b etc in networks. It's a pretty weird feeling to like a maths subject at uni!

Don't worry if you didn't understand shit of what you just read...my brain is complicated.

Now I'm off to continue my x-ray diffraction assignment...the joy!
