Take It Slowly

It's my second first day of school (of the school year). That sentence had a lot of qualifiers. Point is, the spring term starts today. My first class is in 19 minutes. Yet I am sitting here, updating this. You see, I thought I was so ready for this term. I bought new notebooks. I halfheartedly cleaned my room. I checked the course website and tried to buy books early. And then I relaxed. Apparently, too soon. Just discovered that there's a good 100 pages of reading I need to do for today's classes that are not going to get done. And there's school tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that, too. Each with its own readings. And joys.
