I think the stress is getting to me.
This week has been the week from hell-- I haven't been able to keep up with the ever-growing list of things I have to do. Just getting the bare minimum done so as not to fail and get kicked out of grad school has been a challenge. Last night, things finally started to wind down-- I was able to get a big start on a paper that's due tomorrow, and I found all the articles I need for a presentation I have to put together this weekend. Research is at a stand still and I'm worried my advisors are going to start getting frustrated with me. Hopefully I can be productive this weekend. Sunday is already filled up (I promised Ben we'd go play DnD with a guy in my class-- they play for 8 hours+).
One of my friends here has already started applying for assistantships for next year. Interviews for one position were held today-- I didn't even know. Now I'm worried I'm going to get screwed out of getting an assistantship for next year. I don't know when I'll have time to fit it in, but applying and getting shit together is going to have to happen this weekend.
All this week I have had almost constant pain in my left shoulder, neck, and chest area. I think it is muscle or tension related, but I'm always paranoid about pain on the left side. It gets worse at night, to the point that I have trouble sleeping through it. I told Ben if it wasn't better by tomorrow I would call and make an appointment.
On the plus side, Chicago was a blast, though it made me feet sore for days afterward. The musical was beautiful. Also, my dress and shirt that I ordered last week came and they both look awesome! I took a risk ordering from two companies I had never heard of before but it paid off.
