Stressed people check in!

In the next two weeks, I have a giant history essay to finish, two projects to do, have to work out the final details for the Day of Silence (http://www.dayofsilence.org), am volunteering (can't get out of it - I need the hours for my World Issues class), and have just found out I'm performing at this May Day festival with a dance troupe I just joined.

*head explodes*

I should keep going to the dance classes, though. I may be uncoordinated, but it keeps me sane. Plus, I need some physical activity.

3. All the higher ups at a conference

the usual useless suspects called in sick again!

4. "Dance, dance, wherever you may be..."

"...for I am the lord of the dance, said he."

Physical activity yields mental purity.

5. I just became an emeritus member

Your schedule sounds like my younger daughter, who has to turn a few papers, learn a ton for her finals
in 4 weeks, do stuff for Law Review, and get ready to come back here (Germany) for the summer for her
summer associate position with a known slave-driver international law firm.

Two weeks ago, I had to be in München (Munich) Friday, and then again the following Monday. Then the
next day, breakfast in Düsseldorf, lunch and dinner in Brussels, down to Paris Wednesday, back to
Brussels that night, working in Brussels all day Thursday, back to Düsseldorf Thursday night, down
to Stuttgart Friday morning, and working all day there, coming back to Düsseldorf Saturday night.

I got my "stressed person for life" award from the top brass. I then slept close to 48 hours straight
(I'm getting too old for this kind of stuff, except that I know that a desk job would kill me right quick).

6. April 18th to the 24th I will be either en route to, in-country or traveling from

New Zealand to meet my online girlfriend.

This is my first plane trip in, oh, about 20 years and my first ever International flight. I only received my passport last week! Luckily, I have everything else taken care of, if only my body would stop breaking down (urologist last week for kidney stones, proctologist for those kind of problems, major cold, and now a tooth that's an open nerve.)

Why can't things just go smoothly before big trips like this?!

Yes, I'll bring lots of pics back for y'all to oo and ah over :P
