condensed hell

How come long weekends are always followed by ridiculously busy weekdays? Today I had to prep for a contest speech and a guest lecture, both of which are taking place tomorrow. And I still haven't even had a chance to visit my thesis committee chair since school started, nor have I gotten any more interviewees. My day won't end til 9:30 tomorrow same with Thursday and I hope to throw back a drink or five soon after that. Crap everything is snowballing. If I could have one wish, it would be the power to make time stand still on command.
