Burn Out

This is too much, even for my work style. What's more, both of my grad work positions are going to take up even more time next semester. Something is going to have to give ... and for the sake of sanity, I will not and cannot let it be the time I spend with friends.

For perspective, it's bad news when you can't wait to start working full time. It's not that I know I'll be doing less- knowing me, I'll still work 50-60 hour weeks- but it's the chance to reset my schedule that's really appealing. I had that chance for this year. The whole operation just kinda got botched. The biggest problem was that I entirely underestimated the effort and time that grad classes and research would take. As a result, I now find myself absolutely exhausted and strung out. It's not even like things are going poorly ... it's just that I'm not sure I can keep this up much longer.

For now, we push on into Thanksgiving break.
