Deadlines

I believe that life for me is harder than it has ever been. I have been through lots of stressful, chaotic, and disastrous times over the last 46 years. But this is just hard.  Why, because I feel like the clock is always ticking. Being in school again there are deadlines everyday. Deadlines use to be get Nadia somewhere at a specific time, meet friends at Upland at 6, be at work at 7:30, have dinner ready by 8, give Copper his meds within 12,hours of each other, and buy beer before heading home. 

Now it is discussion boards, lab assignments and quizzes, chapter tests, group wiki projects, reflection papers, lab journal entries, experiments. And they all have a date and a time attached to them. It's hard to get use to. I don't think online classes are in the future for me next time. I'm finding that I'm not managing my anxiety very well. Deadlines stress me out. Prioritizing what to do first and on what time table is more than I want to manage right now. Can someone write out a weekly plan for me? I'll buy you a beer!
