I made it through a full week of school and classes, kind of the first. Although, really, I have already lost a sense of where weeks begin and end, as my schedule seems to be a constant sisyphian task wherein the moment I complete one reading or get out of one class, the deadline of the next is already approaching. I haven't felt this way since reed. A list of the things I am juggling:
An overload of classes (five instead of four), four of which are writing intensive
A 10 hour per week job
PhD applications (now with new and improved positive response from a dude at Santa Cruz!)
NSF application
Some other scholarship appications, probably
A presentation about zombies
Friendships
House and cat maintenance
A house full of fresh-picked fruit, far too much for the three of us to reasonably consume
Membership in several student organizations
An upcoming weeklong conference in Argentina
Volunteering as both staff writer and editor for a student magazine
A desire to consume various inebriants on a semi-regular basis, for the purposes of "fun" and "relaxing"
Keeping up my spanish (including the attendance of biweekly spanish dinners and the "pleasure reading" of Isabel Allende's Zorro)
A not-for-credit master's student lab/workshop, which our advisors may or may not attend
Weekly crossword puzzles in my planner
And probably something incredibly important that I am forgetting and which will bring me great pain and misery once I remember it and it is too late.
A list of what I am planning on doing this afternoon:
Baking one apple-ginger and one peach-ginger crumble, with the above mentioned fruit
Preparing a handout for above mentioned zombie movied DC presentation
Making a stencil and spraypainting this pink t-shirt I am currently wearing so that it is a little bit more interesting and less girlycute
Tonight there are seven or eight overlapping cool events or meetings that I wanted to go to. I will probably make it to only three or four of them.
Somehow, in alllll of this, I am still getting an average of eight hours of sleep per night. How long can it last?

I didn't realize that I didn't comment on this post. I certainly started to comment multiple times. I support this and future afternoon bursts. Oh shit, and now I see about your facebook addiction. Similar problem over here. Damn. Hmm, good job on the other stuff.
