C3PO's old saying seems to be a wonderful fit for my life right now:
"Goodness gracious me!"

I'm up to my ears in job apps and interviews layered over a lot of work for Tomorrow... plus the chamber music and orchestra concerts coming up this sunday and next saturday.

This is when I start forgetting where I place things... losing my ID for several days... leaving things in Sam's room and panicking when I can't find them in mine. This is when I make compulsive lists of things to do (call this company for interview, make this or that for stack, call home) and promptly forget everything on them.

This is when I remember how it was to be an unmedicated ADD child. Every endeavor takes so much time, and time itself flies by until you don't know where the day went. It's always been easy for me to lose track of time, but now it's worse than ever - and I can't afford to do it now! Right now, I live by my day organizer and calendar in everything, even classes that I regularly attend. Even with the calendar, I sometimes forget about conflicts. At least it's all turned out ok so far, but it's bound to mess up something in the next couple weeks. And in the meantime, I feel so stressed out, looking at everything on my plate and feeling somewhat at the mercy of fate when it comes to jobs for the summer. I'm so thankful I have Sam - he's absolutely terrific and very supportive, even when I'm a little snappy. My friends have been great as well, though they're all very stressed as well, and any conversation often ends up with sniping on both sides. At least the end is in sight.

I have to admit, it is kinda fun working on the different puzzles for the stack though. I sit back and wonder how the stackers will find them - enjoyable? Devilishly hard? Incredibly easy? Hopefully the former.

Speaking of those, I'd best get back to work.
