Ack, has it really been more than a week since I updated?

....So, you'd think I'd be very happy right now...last night I finished a draft of my 18 page term paper and e-mailed it to my professor. Since I had my last workshop on Tuesday and I can't do anything on this lit term paper until I hear back from the professor next week - I basically have no homework this weekend. Bliss right?
Er, wrong. I think my head is spinning even faster than it was before. There are only 19 shopping days left until Christmas and I haven't even started buying gifts much less figured out what I want to get people. Oh, and I have two weeks of work before I go on a two week vacation. Again, should be in bliss right? Again, you would be wrong. I have eight stories to write for work - plus, major prep work for two stories I have to do as soon as I get back on Jan. 6. And then there's always the chance I might have jury duty on Jan. 6 (they were supposed to reschedule my jury duty from the fall to a time during my semester break, but I haven't received anything yet) - so I really better be prepared to kick work ass because the two stories that are supposed to run that week, can't be pushed back.

Oh yeah, and I have a freelance story to write this week. Why. Why. WHY do I do this to myself? No comments from you, Cory : )....I know I've been a pain to be around lately (a bigger pain than usual, I should say), and I'm sorry! Really....I'm going to try and calm down a little bit....my hourly freakouts are not fun for anyone, including me.....
OK, deep breaths....
