Eep.
I know it always takes a bit of time to adjust back to uni starting again. But I am feeling pretty stressed already and it isn't even the end of the second week...I guess it will get better... ???
But I don't know.
In a way it will only get worse.
Marking.
Eep.
And I haven't done any of my own work for a while.
But I really need to.
And I am supposed to be doing this subject index thingie for a book I don't even understand very well... And it gets harder by the chapter... And he is (understandably) pressuring me to get it finshed...
I am wondering if I have over-committed myself this semester...
Eep.It has to get better.
I am sure it will settle down next week.
I may not be able to babble as much as I used to...
I have noticed my posts have disintegrated.
Tired
Grumpy
Strung-out
Intolerant.
I am sorry peoples :-(
It has to get better...

It should get better as you get into the routine again. You know when you look at all the things you have to do, and it just looks like so much and it is so hard you think that you will never get through it? Well soon you'll start to chunk away at all of that work and you will see where you are and where you are going. Breaking it down into managable parts and then asking for help if you need it is the way forward (damn I need to listen to my own advice sometimes).
I hope things get easier soon

Thank you.
I thought about it...
And cried about it...
And got mad about it...
And so on.Then finally I realised that I was trying to be superwoman after all. I don't think anybody has had that many classes to tutor in one semester before. I emailed the lecturer and told her that I really needed to give one if not two away.
They had a meeting (which I couldn't attend) to figure out who was doing what tutorial right at the start of the Semester. Apparantly there were some times that the others COULD NOT do due to their other classes etc etc. But I have been thinking about those times and really it is much more likely that they decided they did not WANT to do them. I got all of the 9-10 and 5-6 classes.
So have said I want to give away one of each.
We shall see
We shall see
But if I can do that I might just be able to make it through ok.
Please god.
