I forget busy days end sometimes
With the start of the spring semester, I've taken on more than my usual load of classes, and I'm starting to feel the burn. While I'm used to spending entire days doing homework or cramming readings, it's been a long time since I've felt this overwhelmed with school, the kind of overwhelmed where the thought of everything you have to do floods your vision and everything else fades out of view. My stress culminated in a few tears yesterday afternoon after a day of I'm fine's and it's okay's, which my girlfriend took amazingly (as always) and suggested we spend the afternoon at the park. It was a lovely rest of the day, and a welcome break from the homework hellhole I'd dug myself into. I don't feel like I've taken on too much, I know it'll be okay, but sometimes I get lost in the moment. I forget busy days end sometimes.
I was on the phone with my mom this afternoon, and I told her how I was swamped with school, how it seemed like my face shoved in a laptop was all my life had been the last few days (or weeks or months) and she said "Yeah, but that's just what you're doing right now. Before you know it, it'll be over. And you'll miss it, because it's the best."
I should call her for advice more.
