My life just exploded...

I'm into my 3rd week of school and everything just hit me suddenly. I'm looking at my schedule trying to figure out when I can have a realistic amount of time to study for the GRE and catch up on my marine biology reading (it's probably close to 150 pages now...) and I just can't find it!

I have a marine biology test in 2 weeks, water law presentation & paper on the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District in 2 weeks (I have to interview people and get actual brochures from them), I have papers due every week in 212 (Food Ethics) with some being larger than others, capstone proposal steps to take care of each week, and literature review each week in marine biology.

TIME IS GOING TO FAST! I need it to slow down so I can actually do everything on my list! I'm, in many ways, glad I'm at MBARI for my capstone. LoL It's basically time I can spend doing my capstone research and such. Else, I honestly have no clue when I'd find time to do some things. It also means Judy is around so I can actually go and talk to her about issues and whatnot. It just adds another layer of complication on my already complicated life.

How is it that I don't have all *that* much to do, but at the same time I feel overwhelmed? I'm having troubles going to sleep at night with everything that goes through my head in things I have to complete. I have to take days off for various things and it's just getting nuts. In fact, I should be sleeping now, but I'm updating my blog because everything just hit me. I am trying to be good about homework to have at least half of it completed before the night before it's due. So that's helping the stress level at least, but I just keep thinking I haven't gotten to studying for the GRE (procrastination on the leftover half of my homework - ya know?) and I have these things I need to study for or work on over long periods of time.

There are just too many things to do and not enough hours to complete them in a day.

I am just going to go to bed because I'm getting tired beyond tired and can't think very well anymore. I am going to check out my bike and see what condition it's in and try to go biking around the neighborhood some. See if that helps me or not. Now, to just get the energy and will to do that...
