I'm exhausted. It's not even two in the afternoon, and I could absolutely fall asleep right here at my desk if I let myself. The ridiculous part, though, is how much stuff I'm not managing to get done despite the fact that I feel like I'm spending all of my time trying really hard to be a useful member of society. I have a midterm do in just over 24 hours that's maybe halfway done, there's an Osteology quiz on Monday that could easily mop the floor with me, and when I look at my inbox and the pile of papers on my desk I kinda wanna cry. .
Help.
Is this how it's supposed to be? Going and going and getting nowhere? I need to figure out what I can do to mitigate this hamster-wheel situation. I don't know what's me and what's grad school life. I just know that I'm friggin' tired.
Aww. :- ( Honestly, Celia, it's graduate school and school in general. All my students are losing their minds as well. There's an awful lot to cram into our collective heads, and teachers don't have a lot of time and feel pressured to share as much knowledge as possible. As such, they pass on that anxiety to their students, who, in turn, feel insane.
ReplyDeleteIt's best to figure: learn as much as you can while you're there so you can get through your classes, and realize much of your actual learning will probably have to take place after school when you can finally catch up on the piles and piles of reading. Hang in there.
Thanks lady. :)
