Too much to do

It's the last week before Thanksgiving. Tonight I attended a dinner hosted by President Ferry in honor of all the conference champion teams from the past year. Our track team dominated in the spring, so we were all invited to this special occasion. I almost stayed behind however, due to the increasingly formidable stack of books and papers forming in my room. I have so much work to finish this week that I feel like it's an avalanche crashing down on top of me. But that's just another reminder of how every challenge makes us stronger. In the library the other night I was complaining about the numerous papers I needed to write over the following 24 hours, and asked Karl what someone should do when they didn't have enough time to get everything finished. His answer: Keep on truckin'. Decide what is the most important and get that done, then focus on the lesser assignments. Hack away at the stack and accomplish whatever you can. Don't quit, don't ever give up. Sounds to me like building a monster.

It's 11 PM on Monday night. There's two days of classes left before the holiday. I have three papers due tomorrow (one and a half are already finished) and another two due in the week after the 4 day weekend. I'm tired, have a sore throat, and am once again increasing the running mileage to prepare for track.

There's 37 days until the official start of the season.
The monster has to be ready.
But it can't come out until my homework is finished.
