I figure that maybe if I put this here, it will stop rattling around in my brain and making me anxious. This is probably the hardest week of my entire semester, and I haven’t a clue how I am going to weather it. My last two lectures are this week, and I have to finish putting together my final exam for the following week. The ATLAS Southwest Jamboree is this week, so I need to drive between SMU and Arlington. I don’t want to miss more of the jamboree than I have to, but there will be days when I need to be in two places at once. That’s stressful. There are faculty meetings this week, I have analysis responsibilities on two fronts, and I have a talk to write for the jamboree. Jodi and I just put an offer on a house, and we don’t know what the next step in the process will look like.
And the ATLAS summer analysis effort is about to ramp to critical speed. I know a lot of other people are also stressed right now, but they’re not trapped in my head and they don’t have this blog.
