Where oh where has my brain gone?

What a day, oh, what a day... Tuesdays and Thursdays are my "free days." I don't have classes and the only thing that I have to do is show up for an hour to help with the class that I TA. Well, my mom's in town this week to help with wedding plans so I didn't even have to go to campus today. "Lucky" you might think. I didn't have to do a thing! Well, I wish it were so.

After waking up extra early to grade all 80+ of the assignments that I had completely forgotten about, I headed out with my mom and my gramma to get an early start on the wedding planning for the day. At about noon I remembered that I was supposed to meet with my German group to film a movie for class AND... I was supposed to make an apple pie for that as well! Something that big you'd think I would have remembered! After I finished the pie, the three of us ran to the tux shop and another tie store. I think I've reached a point where I never, Ever want to see a green tie again! We looked at so many - and that was after mom and gramma narrowed the selection down for me! :) Then I rushed off to campus to meet with my group. A five minute skit took 3 hours to film!!!! I feel bad for all of the people who take part in movie-making. That seems less glamorous than ever, now!

So now I'm sitting here trying to do some homework before tomorrow. Obviously I'm getting pretty far with that one. I'm able to focus on a lot of other things, but that German paper is still hanging over my head and I can't seem to get back into the "German groove." I've officially decided that my brain ran away without me. Here we are, the week before finals and I'm left without a brain! The same sort of thing happens with computers sometimes: There's too much information going on and so it just shuts off. That must be the problem that girls have. We try to do far too much and once we're working on about 17 projects as well as taking on our kids'/friends' problems, we just start forgetting things. Our brains just get far too busy to keep up with everything so they just turn off every once in a while.

Now if I could just figure out how to schedule that "reboot" period to better fit my life...
