Oof

Last night was both Back to School night, and my cousin M’s wedding rehearsal. And everything is gearing up for classes to start again.

After we finally all got home and I got the kids down to bed all of a sudden I felt really overwhelmed. By the past week, by the coming weekend, by the coming week, by the coming quarter, by the coming next nine months or so… Oof.

I handed off the vast majority of circulation except for confusing escalation issues. We’ll see how that changes how my hours break down.

I have access to both course websites and am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work that I have to get done. And some of the tech stuff — XML? Eeks! I mean, I’m excited… just overwhelmed.

I went to bed last night at 10:30 and slept like the dead until… well… too late. I guess besides overwhelmed, I’m just plain tired.

When I started this whole school thing two years ago, I felt *good*, I felt *smart*. Hell, I *was* smart. I don’t feel smart now. Just stubborn. Overwhelmed. And really really tired. Truly, I will be ready to graduate when it’s time. There’s just so much to do between now and then. Oh my god, so much to do.

Back to the grind. So much to do at work too…

Thus ends the whine. Is it naptime yet?
