What do you do when you feel like you're drowning in work? Is this the story of every undergrad's life? I have a day's worth of lessons I have to plan for tomorrow (sorry, make that in 6 hours), 3 weeks of lessons I need for Friday, two exams on Thursday, my billion-page honours thesis due next week (at the latest by Wed.), and I start teaching on next Wed. My problem is I know I can handle all these things. My other problem is that I won't handle them well. My huge problem is that I think something is wrong with me physically and I'm currently ignoring it because I have these billions of things I need to get through. I've been feeling nautious on and off for the past couple of weeks. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think it's good. Sigh. I promised myself I would not sacrifice myself physically for school anymore, but here I am again. Lord, help me to get my priorities straight. Help me to "Love the Lord with all your heart, with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my strength." (Deut. 6:5) Help me to stop expending my precious energy on useless endeavours. Help me to focus my maximum strength on loving You.
