Saturday, 27 February 2010 -- Day 69

I ended up thinking today, despite what I said in my previous post about not wanting to think. I thought about why I ended up being so pissy yesterday. I think I've figured it out. It's that time in the semester when a lot of assignments are coming dues: speeches, exams, case studies. Everything, all at once plus laundry, a dirty house, this Save the Music campaign and helping w/ Post-Prom fundraisers are making me feel overwhelmed. Once I recognized the cause, I could follow Mom's advice about tackling jobs that seem overwhelming. She always said to just start at one spot and work your way through, tackling a little bit at a time and before you know it the work is done. Well, the work's not done, but I've made a dent and that has me moving in the right direction. And moving in the right direction is always a good thing for chasing away the pissiness.
