Where is a Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds when I need one?

Today, I am attempting to think hard—without thinking too hard, lest my brain melt down and leak uselessly out of my ears.

I am researching "my ideal career" for a paper of indefinite length, writing a six-page paper on "exploring my values", creating graphs, researching 1500-word articles on the use of figures of speech in print advertising to quote for a project, working on my annotated bibliography about gender complementarianism for English, reading about the Reformation for an online quiz, and peer reviewing summaries of The Economist articles. 

Today, homework is the bane of my blithe existence. 

I [seriously seriously] doubt I can get all of this done today, but The School of Ministry people are coming to New Day and The Iglesia tomorrow, and I don't want to miss out on that in favor of homework.  I m trying not to think about all of it at once, because this would trigger a meltdown, which would be roughly equivalent to [less productivity than before].  Why, oh why (I berate myself belatedly) did I not do more homework yesterday?  I only filled out an outline about graph distortion and got about two pages of that "exploring my values" paper written.  I had virtually nothing else to do yesterday—but today is my day to clean the kitchen.  And the bathroom.    And continue trekking through the literary travails of homework...yes, I'm whining; I'm not very sorry for it.  This is my blog post for the day.  I have nothing else to say; nor have I more time to write, at present.  Adieu.
