drowning

so much anxiety this past week. i can't calm down. i am teaching and going to meetings and preparing for classes and trying to write annual reports and job letters and to finish finally this article... I feel like I'm rushing around even when I'm sitting still.

sometimes I really think I'm just not cut out for this job.

Everyone feels like that this time of the semester. But then things calm down again ....

yup. this seems to be the juggling season. but then we get past the midterm, everything settles into a do-able routine and poof, it's over again. just when we're getting the hang of it.

Is there any way you can take a certain period of time everyday (like 30 minutes), schedule be damned and just stop all of it ? You could do coffee, sit in the sun, read for pleasure, whatever. I find if I force myself to do something like this it helps me not feel like a gerbil running on a wheel. I hope it all improves soon.
