oh, academia

Me: Shit, I'm such a procrastinator, I just watched three episodes of Friends instead of working. I am so unproductive.
Me: Hang on, that equates to...an hour of free time. ONE HOUR.

Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony SOME PERSPECTIVE.

GAMSAT results come out later this week. I didn't think I was worried, but my body has decided that I am, so for the past three nights I have had insomnia combined with unpleasant squirming in my stomach. Let's review the things I have to get done before the end of the month:

- mark another ten or so calculus papers (supposedly by tomorrow. HA. we'll see.)
- do five HORRIBLE assignments
- put together resume + addressing-of-criteria + references + ubiquitious piles of paperwork for my application for the DHA Graduate Program next year
- apply for medical schools & residential colleges at said medical schools
- lots of other juggling balls like tutoring jobs and skating judging and choir rehearsals, all of which I am kind of wishing I could just drop and let shatter

And then: exams! Hahahaha.

I...this has not been a good year so far. BUCK UP, 2007.

It's freezing in here. I'm going to go and get some tea.

One insane, impossible, gargantuan, unappealing task at a time. ;) You don't even have to worry about GAMSAT results. Done! All done.

Can you actually drop any of your other juggling balls? Temporarily?

*mails you more free time*

I am awful at the whole 'one thing at a time' deal, especially when they're all due at approximately the same time. I start on one, get into a panic that I should be doing something ELSE, start on it, panic because it's not good enough for what I think it should be...lather, rinse, repeat.

The only one I can afford to drop is judging, which...I have half-dropped already.

My suggestion was probably kind of hypocritical, as I am crap at 'one thing at a time,' too. See: picture of my desk at work. If I can't see it, I freak out about it, and if I can see it I freak out more. But at least it is there. :/ I'd suggest scheduling time for each thing, but if it was me then I'd spend too much time worrying about the actual work I should be doing rather than making a schedule, and it would all fall apart. *sigh*

GO FAYE! You can do it *has decided you need a cheerleading squad*. Sounds like you are a wonderful, productive human being who has nothing to worry about and needs to de stress :-)
I too once considered applying to med school....then I did a 180 and became an artist. My dad hasn't gotten over that one...but...it's lots of fun! There is always that option!
