Cutting back

So, last night I was blogging about being overcommitted and overwhelmed. Now for the big question, what to do about it.

The obvious answer is to cut back on a few things. In terms of my weekly schedule, there is only one thing that can go: MaDaCol. In truth, my body has been crying uncle about this one since the beginning of the semester. Weird neck pain, blisters, I've just not wanted to listen to it. Tech week is only a week off and I feel awful about bowing out this late in the process, but I look at the tech week schedule and just cringe.

In terms of more long-term projects, the Peru trip just isn't looking like a wise move right now. What with the budget crisis at work, who knows if I'll be employed this summer. The trip money might be a well-needed cash cushion. And the "sign" that maybe this wasn't going to happen this year -- drum roll please -- is that Jon Erik and I have been too busy to book the trip yet.

Ah, maybe next year.
