Overbooked and Out of Control

  2005-11-02


There just aren't enough hours in the day for what I want to accomplish. I am making good on my plan for Operation Library, but I have so much to do that I am not sure if I can get all the way there in the time for finals, the midterm in Biol 201 next week, and the job. I was thinking about it last week, and I realized that I am at my maximum committment level, for the most part. If I take on anything else, I am in big trouble. And of course, there's always unexpected crap that we have to deal with from time to time. I got my final first round midterm back today, but luckily I am desensitized at this point. It really only served to deepen my convictions about the rest of the semester. The bad news is that my classes are getting quite a bit more difficult the further I get in, so I am struggling to get caught up so I don't get behind. The weather is cooling off around here, so I think it will snow in the next few days. The precipitation is in the forecast, it just hasn't dipped as much in temperature as they predicted. It probably will tonight. I am beginning to mourne the loss of daylight. I feel like I am living in a cave half the time. I was walking back from tutoring yesterday, and it was already dark outside. I guess the upshot is that I won't feel so bad about turning into a mole.
