i've been working like a mad woman to try to stay financially ahead of the game. (or more realistically, financially afloat). the downside to having jobs i LOVE is that they aren't six-digit salary jobs. i teach at a community college, work at a cultural center, and teach tap. that makes it sound busy enough. but keep in mind that at the cultural center, i am THE admin and i help in the cafe.

i've really enjoyed working sundays in the cafe lately. it's definitely good extra money. this pay period looked more like it should, as opposed to all my pay periods since christmas which have been low. but i'm also starting to feel little overwhelmed in the office, so i've been working long days. i'm still not getting everything done there that i would like to.

and the worst part is, my teaching is falling through the cracks. i JUST realized (thanks to an email from a student) that i have first drafts for a class to give back tomorrow. except that i haven't looked at them yet. i've worked 24 hours in the last 2 days, and i'm exhausted. but now, instead of zoning out to sitcoms and going to bed early... i have to read and comment on all these essays. nevermind lesson planning. or reading the stories i've assigned. and i have NO idea when i'm going to update the discussion board questions for the last half of the semester.

i really don't want to give up the hours and the money, but i think i'm going to have to work every other sunday at the cafe or something. once the semester ends, summer will be a piece of cake. but right now, i'm going crazy. i don't want to do a half assed job at all these places. ugh. can't there be just a few more hours in the day?
