I've never been this stressed before -- not even during any of my many moves across the state, oral comprehensives, dissertation defense, A's pregnancy, job interviews, new jobs, nothing. I can't understand it. I do have a book contract and a choice to make there with another publisher. I also have an interview at Chapel Hill this coming Friday and another big decision there if I get an offer. I have the usual end of the semester woes, added to the stress of finding out last week that three of my honors students had plagiarized. I am teaching 8 classes currently, which boggles the mind. I went to a convention two weeks ago, only to come back amid hundreds of things to grade to find out I have to watch my daughter the entire week and take her to all of my classes because she's on Spring Break. I guess this would all explan it, but the stress doesn't seem natural to me. My whole chest is tight -- really tight, my muscles ache, i can't take a full breath, and I'm finding it hard to fall asleep. I'm trying to relax, get more sleep, loosen up, but nothing's working yet. I'm hoping it'll just go away, but it isn't.
We're going to meet a new couples tomorrow night. They live in Fayetteville, are young, and attractive. Looking forward to that. And golf is probably on for Sunday. I hope these two activities will relax me a bit.
