Another one of those weeks
I feel like everything is going so fast this year. Even last term, when I had hardly any class time, and lots of "free" time (when I should have been reading for classes, and/or studying, but usually wasn't) it felt like the weeks went by fairly quickly sometimes, but this term, things are really racing along. I'm constantly ticking off things I need to do, and writing things down so I don't forget, and there is always So Much Stuff. There is always something I should be doing. If I've done my prep for the next class, then there are chores in the flat, if I've done that, I should write another book review or post something on the blog, if that's done then there's bound to be something I could be reading to help with classes.
I'm not complaining about it (yet), and I think I'm managing to stay on top of things as well as I ever have. So that is, I'm floating at the surface of the water, but not pulling myself out onto the bank any time soon.
We're at the end of week 4 of 11 of term, so I think I just need to make sure I'm not putting too much pressure on myself, but not being too lax either. It's about finding a balance. I am pretty determined at the moment to be more scholarly from now on, which does mean spending more time reading things for classes rather than doing the bare minimum needed but with the amount I usually procrastinate on anything, there should be loads of time in the day where I can just get on and do stuff, instead of faffing about on the internet. So no drowning yet, and hopefully it will get better, but I do want to watch myself to make sure I don't start to panic & sink.
