Hi Witti, I could also relate to your post. I just started Graduate School and whew, its a huge stressor. I want to get A's on everything and of course with a 15 hours credit load that is hard to get all the readings done. This week I have 4 pages due by Wed. I have one done. I get it. For me, I have put the number of points each assignment is worth and try to only put in the time it warrants. For example, I stressed over an assignment for hours and it was only worth 2 points. Finally the professor said, hey guys this is only worth 2 points but I was already done. So now I have papers stacked up. I will get it done, they won't be perfect but done. I want them to be perfect but isn't not humanly possible. A friend of mine said you have to let the need to be perfect go. Easier said than done but I am trying.
I've missed you guys. Hey Twinleaf. Dinah, all, I have missed you and I have thought of you often. i should be in bed but here I am.
