I beg the forgiveness of anyone who was planning to spend time with me, or hoping that I would get something done -- this is the post-midterm grind now. For the next six weeks, things will not slow down, and will probably speed up instead. And I'm heading into it already exhausted.
This means I have just dropped everything non-essential; that includes socializing and hobbies. I might go dancing, but only if I have the energy of a Friday/Saturday night, and given how worn out I've been that is in doubt. Otherwise, don't plan on seeing me until Baycon at the earliest. Sigh.
I plan to get a bit more sleep and a bit more de-stress time in, so I won't be a workaholic this whole time... I need to take care of myself for a while, I think.
( My drastically modified to-do list: )
I don't think it's my imagination... this semester is as hard or harder than anything I tackled at University. I'm getting better grades, and my health is better, but I also have better coping skills and more flexibility. I was taking a full load at UPS, and I'm taking 10 (of 12) units here. Yet back then, I still had some time for socializing and hobbies...
Bio is kicking my ass, I think. Chem is no harder than physics was, even the higher-order stuff ("easy as breathing", I told Mitch the other day), and linear algebra and diffy Q's were hard but not this demanding. All I can hope is that cellular bio is less insane.
