This past week was very busy. Not only did I have an assignment due but also a presentation explaining a chapter and a paper. While neither of them were very difficult, to be honest I didn’t plan my time accordingly. They all got done but at the same time, I was feeling on edge, worried, and anxious. I felt that I wasn’t doing things to the best of my abilities and I was letting down my professors.

That same week, I had an evaluation with the three of them. I was nervous. I could imagine all these things that would be said about me. In my head, none of them were nice. I sit and wait. I was pleasantly surprised. They said that I had a good head on my shoulders and could handle multiple things at once. I had to chuckle a little bit at that one because of my past week. It was either Tony or Romy who reminded me that sometimes that happens. Life gets busy and you get behind. The only thing to do is go forward and keep going one step at a time. Obviously, you just gotta do what’s needed first and then continue on from there. I can say that today I have everything handed in with only a few days late.

While I hate having something late and feel worried about it all, I can’t let it pull me down. Overthinking it all isn’t going to get me anywhere. Instead, I need to take the worry and channel it to getting it done as fast and as well as I can.
