I can't even cope with November's arrival the day after tomorrow. When I get my computer back, I need to get serious about moving forward with my dissertation.
I reserved a date for my youth retreat which is supposed to become the cornerstone of my project. And I feel pretty confident that I can get my curriculum together by the time that weekend rolls around at the end of January.
BUT - I still have not reworked my prospectus and there's no guarantee that it will be quickly or automatically accepted when I do.
And at this point, it has been so long since I last worked on the prospectus, I am not even sure I can remember what I need to do to address my professor's original criticisms.
The time crunch makes me very anxious - especially since I leave two weeks from tomorrow for a 10 day trip to Ghana. That means these next two weeks will be extra busy. And then I will return and step right into Thanksgiving!
And after Thanksgiving? I am having trouble convincing myself that I will have time and energy to do my academic work during the lead up to Christmas! (And rightly so!)
Often, writing things out like this helps to ease my anxiety, but tonight ... not so much.
