Midway through my first semester at my new job, and I feel like I'm drowning. Now, realistically, if I step back and take a look at everything, I realize that I'm not drowning… but I can't shake the feeling. Between planning for campus visits, sampling professors books, following up from a day on campus and keeping up with the seemingly millions of emails I get every day, I feel like I have no time for myself. I mean, how can I spare a second for myself when there are always things I could be doing for my job? Always people to email, campuses to plan, etc. But tonight I realized something very important: sometimes you just need a time out. Sometimes, it's more important to put yourself first than it is to email that one professor about the new biology textbook coming out.
I suppose part of becoming an adult is realizing that you are always going to feel like there's something productive you can be doing, and taking a time out is apart of doing something productive. Now, off to do some yoga!
