By Wednesday of last week I had wound myself up so much about the reading I need to do over the next couple of weeks that I was little more than a ball of nerves. On Thursday I spoke to one of my lecturers about the reading list I was attempting and was told that I was being over ambitious and that I could cut my book list in half (a fact my mind refuses to accept).
As a result I changed tact and spent most of Friday watching films from the 50's trying to understand Europeans between 1890 and 1930 unfortunately, I found it was faster for me to read than to wait for films to unravel. I then took the weekend off to cool off a little and hopefully process some of what I've already read.
None of this has actually made me feel like I'm less behind schedule though. I feel like I'm constantly two steps behind everyone else. I still don't have a mark for my Latin assignment and will have to wait until this Thursday for it but I do feel slightly more confident about the work now.
I know that I should just relax but I am constantly concerned and apprehensive about the November Essays. I'm actually calmest when I manage to spend a few hours in the library working. As such that's the plan for this afternoon/evening.
