It's amazing how much one bad week can throw you off. I've fallen farther behind than I've ever been partly due to having one or two insanely busy weeks where I could only focus on a couple of major things and also partly due to this need for comfort I've developed. Lately, all I want to do is sleep, knit, and watch TV and I think it's because I'm stressed out about graduating and finding a job and all of the work I have to do between now and three weeks from now. Basically, I've just been shutting down. I still can't believe that there was a time when I was a month AHEAD in all of my homework. Normally, I'd be really upset and disappointed in myself for behaving like this, but I'm really learning how to cut myself a break. I've been pushing myself beyond my limits my entire life, and in particular for my entire time in college and because of that it's totally normal for me to be feeling this need to slack off a bit. Beyond that, I'm still getting done what needs to be done and still maintaining A's. I really can't ask much more of myself than that. As a chronic overachiever, I'm proud of myself for being able to think that way.

I've also realized that I only have 3 weeks left and it's not going to kill me to put forth a little bit more effort in those final three weeks considering the fact that after those three weeks I'll be done with school for a while, at least 3 years to be specific. So here's my plan, I'm going to make sure that I do what needs to be done but I'm not going to kill myself over it. If I need an extension, I'll ask for one, if I need a break, I'll take one. Either way, things will work out and I'll be fine in the end. :-)
