10,000 things to do, but no time to do it

I don't know where I last left off, but I do know that one thing never seems to change: There's always about 10,000 things to do and never enough time to do it. This week alone I have article summaries that need to be written, group projects that have to get done, field work goals, worksheets, papers, etc. There always seems to be something going on. It's a lot of busy work (and while it is better than neuro or anatomy) no matter how much I get accomplished, I never feel completely done. It's a gross feeling especially since I like write up a to-do list and cross everything off of it. So naturally, my list never gets shorter.

On top of that, I just got an email from a professor saying that we have another assignment due for Friday and most of it we can't do until we go to Field work on Thursday. It's so frustrating. I'm just trying to make it week by week.

On another note, my roommate is always around. She got sick last week and took 3 1/2 days off work. Normally she goes home every weekend but this weekend she stayed here. To make it worse, her parents came all day Sunday. And there's only so many places to hide to my small apartment. It really threw off my whole routine. I'm used to coming home and having the apartment to myself for a few hours which is when I'm the most productive. Instead, I was interrupted and bombarded all week/end long. Petty? Sure. But after a while all of the little things start to add up.

All I can say right now is thank goodness for caffeine and my diet coke.
