Today was not the best day for me. I checked my much-neglected hotmail account and discovered I missed an email almost ten days about from Tanya about her wedding. I feel terrible, as I hate letting my friends down about stuff that is important to them.
On top of that, I let myself down today when I got too wrapped up in lab business to remember I had ethics class. This course is heavily (I mean almost entirely) graded on attendance, and I missed it. Now I am praying that the professor is understanding and lets me make up the time in a way he sees fit.
I guess both of these situations are examples of how I am burning the candle at both ends these days. I have so many commitments, to class, in lab, at home, to my friends, and to my family, that is seems like I am constantly making excuses to people so I can do other stuff. I have priorities, just too many of them are #1, and it is driving me crazy. I hate letting people down!
It seems like I had so much more time in undergrad and med school. Maybe I am just suppressing my stress from those days. I do know that I am exhausted right now and would nothing but to sleep for twenty hours straight. Hopefully that is just a result of too frequent blood donation (another consequence of me being unable to say NO to people who need my help!) Speaking of sleep, I better head to bed.
