It’s official…

I’m feeling the same way even though I’m not in school and my deadline isn’t until June. For me, it’s almost as if I’m so overwhelmed I can’t do any of it! I’m almost to shut down, don’t let this happen to you. LOL

If my grad school experience is helpful in any way, I learned quite early on that no mtter how many things you have on your plate, you need to take one thing at a time, shutting everything else out.

Everything - worries about other projects, anxiety about family or social problems, concern about how the rent is going to get paid, the realization that you haven’t made it to the gym in a week. Whatever it is, if it’s not what you’re working on, it has to go.

(I also turn off music, the t.v., my phone, etc; however, some people prefer to study with their radio on - I have no idea how they retain anything, but to each their own.)

Good luck with those finals.

When in grad school, I remember feeling overwhelmed during my finals and I remember sending out a desperate e-mail expressing my anxiety. I received over 40 responses but the most inspiring message I received came from half way around the world. It was from you while you were serving in Iraq; you encouraged me and believed in me. You put things in perspective for me.

I know you can do this and will manage your time wisely. Heck, look what you have already tackled and accomplished!

never been to grad skool. but my advice is light it all on fire and go get a beer.
