Some lessons you have to learn twice.

So, despite my predicament 1 week ago, and my vowing to be smarter about my work load, here I am again. Nevermind the fact that I worked very hard this week, and aside from a quick happy hour, a shopping trip with Kristi, and a walk to the grocery store with Casey, I have pretty much been working reading and writing all damn weekend long, cause here I am, 4:40 in the morning, writing these damn book reviews, pulling another all nighter. I'm done with 2 of the 3.5 of them. It's just so frustrating that I worked hard all week making sure this wouldn't happen again and it didn't make a bit of difference. I kind of broke down at 10 pm and cried to Casey about how upset it made me that I put in the work and didn't procrastinate that much and yet here I am. *sigh* I think this is just proof that no one should have to read 1000 pages of dense stuff and then write 10-11 pages of reviews on the readings on a weekly basis. And that's only two of my classes! I have 3(ish) and studying for exams and teaching on top of it.
Ugh, workload is killing me this semester. Gotta find a way to get it all done faster so I can still have time to sleep and have a life.

Ok, my 4 minutes of bitching is up, back to writing.
At least I am writing some damn good material to present tomorrow.
