Two days into a three day week and I'm worn out

I'm blah right now. It's the third week of the semester, and I'm just looking ahead to it all with this overwhelming sense of dread. These next two weeks are just going to be absolutely terrible.

I have 6 exams and an essay in the next two weeks, plus my normal load of numerous homework assignments. Tonight, I hope to get a couple of things done after I'm done posting on here so that I might be able to go to bed a little early. I'll definitely be doing the pages in my cahier for next Tuesday so that I don't have any francais (I keep trying to do the cedille, but the stupid blod won't let me...grr) this weekend, and I'm going to get my next worksheet done for Methods class. Tomorrow is going to be hectic, with work from 8:30-10:00, followed by a three hour workshop on writing papers for History professors, which should hopefully help me out with Wunderli. I'm not too sure how he's going to grade. I'm frankly scared about that class, but there's always esperanza.

Speaking of that, that's one of my weekend missions--to at least get a really strong outline together and enough quotes to make into a nice paper salad. That's like the one thing I can do early enough at this point to ease my stress of the next two weeks.

Well, there are like a million things that I really should do this weekend. Well, and tomorrow, if I get a chance, considering that I have physical chemistry and work to go to tomorrow night. Generally, I get a short break at work so I can read something or do a really short assignment before all the patients are swarming everywhere.

I nearly had a panic attack today. When I say these things I mean a full blown panic attack, with perfusive sweating, hyperventillation, wheezing, and overwhelming terror. Normally I get tons of minor ones throughout the day. Any time I have any kind of tightness in my clothing (like I sit on my shirt when I sit down and then I shift and the shirt doesn't move), it's an instant panic attack. Having to sit in the middle of an aisle frequently causes panic attacks. Not understanding things is my major cause of panic attacks. Then I'm visibly sweating and starting to hyperventilate.

Yeah, basically, one of these days I'm going to pop like the Hindenberg.

Disappointing grades to start this semester: a 92% on my biochemistry quiz and a 95% on my physical chemistry quiz. This does not bode well for future developments.
