School: okay, I've done it.

[icarus]

No, I did not get my essay done. (I used the time-honoured technique of 'when you're stuck on one thing for a class, work on something that is also due until you're unstuck. At least you'll get something done.')

Yes, I missed my morning classes today from being up all night.

But... I cancelled my ESL tutoring. *sigh of relief*

Those extra two credits, plus the journalling, plus the lesson plans, plus the training, were slowly pushing me over the edge. The workload was far out of proportion to the credit hours involved. I was also supposed to journal about what I was learning about Chinese culture, but my student's english wasn't advanced enough.

I can't make up for the time and momentum I've lost, and a test that I've likely failed. But I'm going to catch up on those last journal entries (backdated *snerk*) and by the end of this week (once the Percy Ficathon, and both the Percy Ficathon site and the new Icarus site are up and running), my schedule will be normal again. I'll be back on track with school.

Whew.

Sometimes, it's good to know your limits, and even if you can't make up for what's been done already, you're making a conscious choice to improve.

Thumbs up to you.

Oh, thank you very much for reminding me about the Percy ficathon... :p

Good on you to know your limits and not burning yourself out too much. :)

O-o-o-oh, I understand... I am working on finishing my first paper right now, after I recieved a really serious message from Clark. I am so much behind, it is not even funny... Good luck with straigtning up your stuff.

Unrelated to this post, sorry. Wanted to ask a quick question. This (http://lizard.brandim.net/stash/couples/begmeforit.jpg) picture I did for 'Beg Me For It' has been picked for the weekly 'write a fic for' challenge at hp_synergy.

Do I have your permission to keep it up there? For other people to be inspired by the pic and write fic based on it? If not, that is ok. Will contact my modly companion straight away to take it down.

Sorry I didn't ask you before - carelessness on my part. :)

Oh, you don't need to ask me. But be sure to tell me, because I get excited about this sort of thing, really. I would be so utterly jazzed in an undignified sort of way pleased *bounces* if you mention Death Eater Rock. :D

*runs off to go see community*

I looked all over the community, and I couldn't find your challenge. *hustles Lizard out the door* Show me, show me, where is it?
