Just a few days ago, I was thinking that it still felt like school was only starting up.

I must have been delusional because I just noticed that it's gotten hardcore:

My first assignment is due on Tuesday, SSHRC is due on Wednesday, I will be performing 2 pieces on the October 30th Contemporary Players concert, and I have an Oct. 30th composition deadline for a piece which I've barely started on.

Hopefully, on Monday, I will get a wonderful birthday present of time and focus...

not likely!
