In the next week alone, here's what I have to do:
School Work:
- Read the rough equivalent of four-five books
- Finish a 4 page essay that for some reason, I'm having major writer's-block on
- Write three short book review essays
- Give a presentation in my Italian History class
- Write a "pedagogy" paper for my Holocaust class
- And of course, attend my two classes
- Put in about 10-12 classroom/office hours
- Write two midterm exams and get the hundreds of photocopies made in a timely fashion
- Grade all those exams (about 120 of them. Ughh!)
- Prepare for my teaching observation tomorrow
- Write a paper assignment for my History 231 class
- Go over and sign off on student evaluations from last semester and hand them to the department chair
- I have a three hour chorus rehearsal tonight
- I have two voice lessons scheduled this week
- One regular therapy session
- One speech therapy session
- I have tickets to the opera with my mom on Saturday (Aida, for those who are curious)
- BigSis' niece's birthday party on Long Island on Saturday evening (Do I have to go to this?)
- Grocery shopping!!!
- Cleaning my house (the never ending process)

you can do it.
You forgot to mention, answer an email : )
Wow! Remember to keep breathing.
Can you "outsource" grading those exams? A grad student in my family says he sometimes helps people grade their exams for a small fee.
Procrastinate. Its the best way.
Skip the sister's husband's sister's niece's whomever's party....
Dan, I wish! I AM the grad student to whom things are outsourced! If only I had the money to pay someone else to do my work. And on an adjunct's salary, they barely pay ME to do my work!
