What a week

I've been a failure at posting regularly since I started grad school. It's hard to succeed at a blog when you're barely succeeding in school! Okay, not barely succeeding, but putting in a lot of effort (and I do mean a lot, a ton, all of my energy, everything that I am, etc.) to get through each week.

What a week. It started last Sunday (the 21st) and it's just been getting worse and worse. I have so many things to due (typo, but it stays) and the time is just flying by. So I have to give up sleep in order to complete everything. I'm running on fumes these days.

I had a paper due yesterday. Okay, truth... I THOUGHT it was due yesterday. I finished it, ran to school to turn it in... um... it's due tomorrow. Worse - he extended it until next Monday. I'm terrible at life. On the other hand, my paper, my FINAL paper, is complete a week before it's due. That's just unheard of in Yvette world. The craziest part? It's actually good! And interesting! And it's for my Victorian Sex class, which, you know, 50% percent of that class is new to me (get it? get it? I know, I know, I'm the funniest person you know).

So I have another paper due tomorrow and here I am bedridden because I have zero energy and my allergies are killing me. Best part of today? I missed my first discussion section. My students left. Sigh... I'm a failure. Okay, but I checked my email and this is what was waiting for me:

"i just wanted to let you know how helpful all of your t.a. sessions were, and how lucky i feel to have had you as a t.a. you have helped me so much throughout this course, and i really don't think i would have enjoyed this class as much without you! see you tomorrow in class, and good luck with all your finals!"

I left out the part where she tells me everyone left when I didn't show up (teehee). How awesome is that? I mean, minus the grammar and all. Just kidding, I don't judge people's emails. yes i do. I'm a terrible person.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that your week is much better than mine.
