Overwhelmed

This week has been (already) overwhelming, and it's only getting busier. I'm grading my second set of papers for 102, the research papers, which are long and time-consuming to grade. I've decided I need to return them by Friday. Also, I get the first take-home test for Dr. Troike's class today. I'll have until Wednesday at 5 to complete it and turn it in, but I teach and have class on Wednesday afternoon, so I'm hoping to finish by noon. I'm worried because all the second year EL/L students talk about how hard it is and how long it takes. Besides that, I'm feeling a lot of pressure to work on the three big final projects I have. The paper for Dr. Troike is due first, so I really need to buckle down and start writing. This month will be crazy! Besides all that, I'm still tutoring one hour a week (on my way to do that now), looking for a summer job (I just found out I will not be offered a job teaching the summer session in the writing program), and going to numerous recitals and concerts with Mark. The next 5 weeks till the end of the semester will be really crazy...I just keep telling myself that it'll pass, that I need to manage my time well, work hard, and I'll do okay. Mark is really busy, too. By the way, he just put up a new website, so if you want to check it out, visit his blog and there's a link there. Well, I've got to go tutor, just wanted to post a quick update.
