I just got back from Vancouver on Monday night. It feels like yesterday, and at the same time like years ago. Today is Thursday. I just finished a paper. I’m scrambling to find journal articles for another (the library seems to be severely lacking in anything relating to my topic). I have a million pages to read for Monday. I have study sessions to host, papers to review, people to meet with, and my likely hours of sleep seem to dwindle constantly. How is this possible? I just had a long weekend, felt remarkably productive, am one day from the next weekend, and I am consumed with deadlines!

how, how, how does this happen?
