Some people may think I live a plush life. In some ways, I do. In other ways, I don't. Today is an example. I wanted to cry as soon as I got home. I have so much to do for school. I had 2 important assignments due today, including a 5 page, single spaced, paper. Yesterday, I had to deliver my monologue from Oepidus Rex. Today, I was assigned a group presentation for Ethics. I'm worried about my future professional life. I really want to stay in town. I hope I can find a job here in town. I need to be near my dad. He needs me, and I need him. I'm working on my social life. I just wonder if I'll have a great one after I get out of school. I'm worried about my car accident. I'm worried about my financial situtation. And it's stressful sharing 4 vehicles between 5 drivers all with different schedules. I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

Thankfully, I'll get a mental day of rest tomorrow. I have a noon meeting on my job, which I haven't done in a few months. I can't work on it until next week. I will attend the meeting. After that, I've got to finish my Graphics Design classwork. As soon as I finish that and show it to my professor, I can go home. Theater isn't meeting tomorrow. I need the rest. Oh, and I have a project due for Graphics next week. Thankfully, I got half of that project completed last night and today. As soon as I got home this evening, I took a nice, long shower. Physically, I feel better. Mentally, I'm still drained.

I know in due time, this running ragged will stop. I will have my own car. I will be finished with school. I will have a nice job. I will have a social life. But at the moment, I just want to cry to feel better.
