You know when your brain just hits that "wall" and refuses to learn anything else?
I don't think I've hit it yet, but it's tempting to think so. Today was so busy, tomorrow will be, and... well, the rest of this week. I haven't thought beyond this week. I just know that I'm already weary. It was hard, forcing myself to take a walk, but I did, much to my personal satisfaction. Stretching afterward felt sooooo good! It's become a nightly relaxation habit for me, something to help me drift to sleep easier.
I've got a mildly large A&P test in two days, and tomorrow I type up my first essay for English. We had two chapters to read over the weekend, one of them in the textbook that I hate, so that was hard. On the bright side, Algebra has been easy so far, and I've got my controversial topic for my argument essay-- "Sexual offenders should be eligible for the death penalty".
Ah, school. I'm glad for all the knowledge, and I love learning, but...
I've got people pouring knowledge into me left and right, and I don't feel like I can contain it all, much less do all that's required to obtain this knowledge.
Yes. I'm mildly overwhelmed, but I recognize it and am taking the steps to prevent it from becoming a meltdown.
Gooooood night!
(My family and some friends are just half a state above me, hiking the Grand Canyon. I wish I were there, instead of studying Rogerian vs. Aristotelian argument styles and the Golgi apparatus.)

(And we wish you could have come! It was fabulously tiring and rewarding. I'm honestly surprised by how well we all did. All that prep work really did pay off!)
I can completely understand about your school stuff. I remember being sick one day and still trying to finish a test. It was miserable. And the "every teacher thinks they're the only one teaching me" dilemma was something I struggled with my very first semester. They love piling things on you.
Anyway, I can't say I've given much encouragement, but I can surely empathize! Keep it up. You'll do well!
