Yo tango una boteja de agua.
I have been sick as many times in the past three months as I was for the whole year before then combined. This probably has to do with overwhelming myself on all fronts, but it sucks. Many of my (admittedly few) days off have been spent recovering from my 9-16 day in a row work weeks or the awful cold that is settling in.
I am now being supremely lazy during my hours off from work. Where normally I would apply for a job or do laundry or work on schoolwork, this past week I checked my facebook or updated my LJ. As I type this though, I realize how few hours I actually do have off. Well. Either way I couldn't bring myself to do anything productive - which is another sign that I'm reaching my breaking point.
Most likely I am in desperate need of a mental recovery period as well as a physical. But I am acutely aware of all of the time I have requested off at the Don this semester and feel supremely guilty attempting to plan a 4 day trip home to Miami in May. Especially since I am dying to go to the Wanee Music Festival June 5. (Anyone want to go with? I am excited but apprehensive)
I received an extension on my Practicum Portfolio that relieved my stress a fair amount. It is now due to be mailed out Tomorrow, though - so I have quite a few things to finish up today while I'm at work. Then the last event of my internship is May 1-3. Relay for life is the 15th-16th and I just found out that one of the Conference Managers at work has chosen me to mentor in her "Success Factors" which I am not entirely sure what that is. It sill sounds like I"ll be busy but I know it will be far less than what I have now. Right now I'm drowning.
My symptoms of the swine flu in quick succession - fever/chills/body aches/sever lower back pain/exhaustion/stuffy nose/curly tail.
