Note to self... Procrastination is NOT good! Procrastination causes mental pain and anguish. Procrastination causes lack of precious SLEEP.
Repeat after me (saying to myself, not to y'all unless you too need to repeat)... "I will not procrastinate. I will do my work/homework in a timely manner. I will study and be prepared."
Now... as for what triggered this little online self-therapy session... I work in the micro lab. This week we're starting the "unknown" lab. There are 8 sections with 7 "unknowns" per section. For each of the 56 (+1 leech who is being forced to work by himself),
1. I have to match up a case with the assigned unknown. I am not to have too many of the same case types in a given lab (so can't do 2 joint infections even if the microbe responsible isn't the same),
2. I need to make sure that the students have enough information to proceed with their prognosis report for the 3rd week of this lab (which is after Boards, but that's a whole nother story).
3. I have to print out the worksheets and write in the group member names, staple on their assigned cases, and tell them the bare minimum about their bacterium (gram reaction and morphology). Thank goodness that someone else is responsible for getting the cultures made.
So here I sit, PO'd at myself for putting this off, but knowing that with dh working this weekend I was STUPID to think that I could do it all tonight. I just have to have tomorrows' 2 labs sheets ready (so 14 of 'em). I can freak out about the rest of the week after I make it thru tonight.

. i'm starting my 3rd (and last) year of MSW program in nyc - 3 classes + 21hrs of internship/week. my son is 4 and my partner and i are TTC#2. it's going to be hectic but it's almost over so i just try to keep my nose in the books, my eyes on the prize and my arms wide open.
to all the student mamas...we can do it!
: 
I have a paper due tomorrow that I've not even started. I'm sitting here drinking my 24 oz triple mocha thinking that I'll get started soon. Probably best to wait for bedtime anyway... the only quiet time.
