Panic! At the Lab...

I guess there's a reason they call this semester boot camp. Most days lately I have this panicked feeling in my chest, the one where there's so much to do that you can't even remember it all and you're so worried you keep forgetting the little things and making stupid errors. Seems like it's a common ailment around the lab lately, but particularly for those of us in boot camp.

On top of boot camp, my RE is double dipping me so I am spread between 2 research areas, one of which has 6-7 different projects/deliverables going on. While the second one is what I like, it's just too much. My brain is full.

I'm in meetings all day, usually for research. While I'm in research meetings, I'm missing meetings for my 2 different group projects. And sometimes classes. 4 of them.

Coming up:
Oct 9: Advanced Design Methods test
Thank goodness I have the 2 fall break days and this week to catch up on everything!
Oct 19: AE Systems presentations (I have yet to make a meeting for this group... I bet they like me already)
Oct 20: Fixed Wing Design project due (haven't started)
Oct 20: Computers/Fortran code due
Oct 24: AE Systems Test
Oct 27: Fixed Wing Design Test

Not to mention the ongoing ADM project that I am behind on. And ONR workshops coming up, Lockheed meetings, a proposal to write and 2 people waiting on me for direction for my EDS work. Oh, yeah, and the trying to get my sinuses fixed which includes repetitive visits to the ENT, ct scans, and most likely surgery.

And I absolutely refuse to give up my life, which includes Will, fun, friends and exercising.

Is October over yet? I'm scheduling the massage that Kristy bought me almost a year ago for Nov 1.
