muckety muck

been dragging my feet to school for the last couple of weeks trying to keep my head afloat while all the chaos swirls around me. classes and teachers have been out of control, demanding that we give more time than humanly possible to a plethora of projects, many of which are completely unrelated to what that course should even be about in the first place (and building your own teaching portfolio should never be your first priority as a teacher. teaching your students the course material should be). work has also been incredibly stressful with both programs being accredited simultaneously and deadlines piling up one after another. there seems to be no rest for the weary and all i can say is that i feel incredibly worn. my brain is fried, my body aches, my eyes are tired, and i've experienced a marathon of mammoth headaches unlike any that i've ever experienced before. sleeping 5 hours a night on average surely doesn't help the situation as i feel my focus drifting away. graduation is just around the corner, but the fight to get there is going to take everything i've got.
