Current Imbalance

I've been overworking myself.

Through a time like this, one realizes what their priorities are.
When I am cast into a situation in which I cannot easily get out of, but which also affects my top priorities the most, it is then that I feel the need to simplify.

I have 16 more days until the last day of this semester.
4 of these days I will be working at a part-time job.
135 hours will be spent sleeping at night.
88 hours will be spent in class.
This leaves me with approximately 65 hours for school work.
I have 7 projects left. 2 are due within the next 2 days.
That gives me about 13 hours per project remaining.
I also need to factor in cleaning my room/clothes/self, relaxing, grocery shopping, and eating.
So that leaves about 9 hours for each 5 projects left (45 hours of work in total)
Plus 1 final exam.

I will not allow myself to fall into this situation again.
And I hope you'll learn from my mistake, and keep yourself balanced too.

Money just isn't as important as mental health.
Sleep is time, and time is money,

I'm done with the trade-off.
