Sleeping Queen

I have been sleeping so hard since I got back from Dallas! I drove home all day Wednesday and had to work early Thursday morning, and ran around like crazy to set up my poster for the graduate student poster competition and get a tshirt for Friday. I came home around 3:30--I was supposed to go food shopping (I have nothing) but I wasn't in the mood to go full out shopping.

Instead I slept! So hard! And when B wanted to be walked I had the hardest time getting up. I felt like I weighed 500 lbs and I pretty much had to roll out of bed. I was exhausted. Usually when I get up and start walking around outside I become alert and ready to work, but this feeling of heavy weight lasted the rest of the night :( I needed to update my pre-proposal for my last two committee members and I just couldn't get there on Thursday. I was annoyed at myself.

I woke up around 8 on Friday and got ready for the poster competition. I walked B and then I finally got to work on the proposal at . My #2 had only minor comments but each had to be addressed in a paragraph or two so it took me a while, and I had to quit at 10 to go up to school. I was thisclose to being done and being able to turn it in, and I would have loved that kind of closure for the day. After the four hour long contest, I had to work to make up my hours for being at that conference on Tuesday. I thought I would have time to grade a little but I had a lot of things to do. I came home at 5, talked to M for a little at 6:30 and then I took another huge nap until 8:30. I woke up and everything was dark! I felt all heavy again. And I couldn't motivate myself to finish my last tweaks on the proposal! So I have to do that today. I watched some 90210 DVDs instead from Netflix :) that helped me relax. I finally feel like I am actually home again.

I woke up at 8 on my own and drowsed a little more with B before he woke me up again at 830 to go walk. Now it is nearly 10 and I am feeling ready to work! I would have loved turning in the pre proposal yesterday but I guess it is ok if I send it today. I need to justify my SEM choice I guess. I added some diagrams. Now I have to talk about my follow up interviews and make an appendix for sample questions. Hopefully after that, I can be done! sigh so exhausting!

Later today I need to make my reading list plan for the next few weeks since I have not really  had a chance to work on that stuff since I came back in January. Too many other proposals due, and conference abstracts, and papers drafted!
