Hell Week

The graduate school semester is coming to a close; my final presentation is May 14, my graduation reception is May 20. I barely left the house this weekend, trying to finish the work I need to have done. The graduate school project needs to be e-mailed tomorrow for one last revision; I probably have about 20 pages to write before then. I think I'm going to take a personal day; my dept. head has given me permission and I really need to get this done.

First and foremost is the graduate school project (which, truth be told, I'm actually becoming pretty proud of), but the week is filled otherwise as well: baseball season ends Thursday, then playoffs begin - this is probably the toughest time of the year to coach, as some kids have Senioritis and others just have had their energy zapped now that the big games are over. Plus, the new 9th grade meeting on Tuesday night - I'll be at school until deep into the evening.
