Overscheduling

Now that summer has gotten into full gear, I have managed to hit that lazy combination of over and under scheduling.

Some days are over-scheduled with lots of work to do. I run, run, run, and come home exhausted.

Other days are underscheduled. Like Wednesday. I had nothing to do all day but work on comps. And I started around 5pm. Ouch.

I'm hoping for a productive day...I have clients and supervision on campus, but with major breaks in between, then I'm going bowling with one of my college roommate's tonight. Tomorrow, I'm meeting my brother for breakfast, and babysitting in the evening. That leaves me with plenty of time to get some work done. Sunday, I'm going to my new supervisor's house to see if we like each other (it's like a supervisory blind date!) and then providing moral support while Heather cleans out her cupboards.

And next weekend, there's a family reunion in Ohio, and the weekend after, I'm going camping with some people from high school.

I have to say that I'm enjoying my slightly slower schedule, even if i'm not taking full advantage of my work opportunities. I'm walking everywhere which I adore, and spending time with people. My husband and I have reincorporated playing chess, taking long walks together, and occasional Dave and Andy's trips.

All that said, I'm still neurotic as hell.

You might be a doctoral student if:
-You take your laptop and a spare battery on a rustic camping trip.

And finally, a survey. What do YOU think an application for psychoanalysis might look like?
