I am feeling overwhelmed. The last time I was in school, it was all so easy. I had to plan "school work time" around things like "talking to friends" and "playing around" and the very important "drinking." My calendar was not really full and I was focused enough and a quick enough learner/reader/writer that I had a pretty easy time getting good enough grades that college was basically 4.5 years of fun and games with a good GPA to show for it all.
Now, however, the things I have to plan around are important and rather immobile---work, a child, family dinner time...the little things like grocery shopping are suddenly this enormous drain on me because I SHOULD BE RESEARCHING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE IS A PAPER OR SOME ENORMOUS-SEEMING ASSIGNMENT DUE EVERY WEEK!!!!! The other small tasks like eating a healthy breakfast and lunch (dinner is usually pretty good because I don't want to feed my son crap just because I'm too busy) or exercising, or even sleeping enough are all kind of falling by the wayside.
I didn't think this would be so hard. Looks like I was wrong....
