Breaktime needs to be over... NOW

I haven't done any uni work since handing in my last assignment on Wednesday. That's three days of no uni work. I'm getting panicky again and think I have developed a tic. This weekend I'm in a workshop learning how to be an ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) therapist. It's a type of intensive therapy that has good results with autistic kids and if you want to be a therapist, you have to do the intro workshop. I don't even know if I want to be an ABA therapist but you know me - I like to have options. And having the option means doing the damn training. I'm a bit bummed that it's the second weekend in a row I can't spend my time with Mel and Belle, especially since he goes o/s again on Monday for two weeks.

Speaking of Miss Annabelle, she woke up really sick yesterday (Friday). Mel was able to be with her in the morning while I went to that observation session, but I had to race home to look after her. She was complaining of sore ears, poor poppet, and sleeping A LOT. Took her to the doc and he said her ears were fine, so go figure? Still, it's awful to have a child screaming and saying her ears hurt and not having a clue what's wrong or what to do about it. :(

She's much better today thankfully.

To add to my things to whinge about, I have to learn the freakin' DSM-IV for a quiz in a week's time (EEEK!)and I have a big assignment due this Friday (ok, technically due THIS MONDAY but we have this thing called a "grace period" which means we have until Friday) that I haven't actually started. *hyperventilates*

The only reason I've not been institutionalised yet is because I got an extension for the assignment. So that is GOOD. But that is also BAD because it means I could quite possibly drag it out and take way longer than necessary to do it, which means it will run into the time I need for the next BIG assignment due in a couple of weeks, not to mention the 60% Epidemiology exam I have to study for. *vomit*

It feels like the 5th month of pregnancy. You know when you feel like you've been pregnant FOREVER but you've still got soooooo long to go? That's how I feel about this semester.

Now I'm off to bed with my DSM-IV study notes.
