Diary 04/17

I cannot get the monkey of this sickness off of my back! I called off work Monday and Tuesday. Returned to work Wednesday. Took off again Thursday. Tried work again on Friday. I am a mess.

In the mean time I attempt to stay current with school work while unable to breathe, swallow or function with head and stomach aches. This cannot all be due to the change in seasons and allergies! Am I being punished?

I soldier on trying to write the DL paper that was initially due on Thursday. Now it's due on Monday. I keep finding more and more information. I'm sick of this paper. The more I remove in my attempt to focus firmly on one aspect of Intellectual Property Law the more I find to add. I am at the point where I'm going to do all I can today, do a final read over and citation check, and then submit what I have. I throw my hands up - I tried.

I'm LYING to you and myself! Being the perfectionist I am, I'll probably be agonizing over this paper until 11:59pm on Monday.

I am also writing the conclusion for the YA collection. I was so focused on my DL paper that on Tuesday I completely forgot about my collection development meeting. When I got on Skype, like 5 minutes before it was ending, the group had already divied up the work. I got the conclusion. Sigh... That is what I get for tardiness. The conclusion is due by noon on Sunday. I am now trying to do both assignments simultaneously.

What a wonderful, wonderful life!
