Whelmed...
In one of my classes we were discussing all that we had to do to prepare for preschool. Those around me were all starting to feel a little more than just stressed out. I sat back in my seat calm as a pond on a Sunday morning and claimed that I wasn't stressed out at all. They wanted to know my credit hours. I said I had 15 and they all still wondered why I wasn't stressed out yet. I guess the last two semesters of being up to 18 credits prepared me for the work load I have to accomplish this semester. I have a lot to do yet I feel I am getting it done in a timely manner. Then a girl in my class wondered out loud, "Is there such a thing as just being whelmed? Not being over whelmed or underwhelmed, but just whelmed." I thought about it and defined it at just being neutral. But when I looked it up in the dictionary It means to overcome utterly such as being whelmed by misfortune. I guess to be whelmed is the same as being overwhelmed. But if it was something in the middle, I would consider myself whelmed so far in the semester.
