Freaked out because I'm falling behind

How am I going to do all the daily physical requirements and get my work done? Even on these snow days, I'm spending hours doing requirements and I still have not done all my daily requirements. I think I'm just slow. Now I'm in the red in several areas. I'm going to have to do Burpees at the Do Jang, because they are too painful on hardwood floors. I still need a pull up bar. My brain is a sieve. Each night, I study the study guides and the next night it is like I've never seen the material before. Where are all those brain cells that got me through school?? I need to calm down and not panic. If others have done this, I can do It too. Stop whining! Good grief, get a grip, girl!

I've gotten 2 essays written and a plan for 3 more. My heroine is difficult to interview, so I'll have to work on that one. I've asked for references, but they have not completed them, yet. That's a little disappointing. Maybe they will get them done now that the holidays are over. Oh yeah, my computer in on the fritz. I think it's old. It can't even accept updates anymore. Kinda like me ;-)  sigh

OK, pity party over. Back to work....
