I'm not stressed.

I don't do stress. Okay not very often and not unless Andy's done something really stupid or for example I have a 2000+ word essay due in six hours and I'm on 342 words - but in general, I don't stress about work. I do however get this vague sense of doom at times that suggests I'm heading towards a very tall, very steep cliff and unless I actually do something useful, no one will hand me a parachute before I get there. So when I say I have around 350 pages of English to read before Thursday, 10 pages of English to read before 10am tomorrow, probably around 20 or so pages of back-reading for Philosophy, plus 10 or so pages for before Wednesday and an interview to do and write before midnight Wednesday for Creative Writing - it'll make sense when I say I have that sense of doom. So I need to do some reading this week.

Which means various things, Photoshop stuff and fic mainly, won't get done until I've done my reading. liroa15 I'm working on the Deuce banner and I'm getting there slowly, but it won't be done before the end of the week, sorry. I do have a couple of fics I want to write in the next few weeks, along with hopefully the Mardy/Andy fic, Through Shadow before Easter and then the Bounty sequel during Easter, but for this week at least, I think I need to prioritise work over fun stuff. *sighs* I've spent around 13 weeks at university now... it is about time I actually *did* the work.

So I will be slow in replying to/making comments, posting entries and generally being online for a week or so (I'm planning to actually get to bed before midnight every night if possible) but I'll make it up to everyone in fic over the next couple of months. Loooooots of fic. :) (The plotbunnies'll eat me if I don't.)

And now, having said that, I want to say how happy Marat made me this morning. :D And I have to ask, how does that man get through the day without being sexually harassed by every woman he meets? Because damn. If the 'rents wouldn't have thought I was crazy for licking the TV screen... I even have Roger/Marat bunnies, which are sadly far down my 'to-write' list. Maybe in Easter.

I have to go to bed now. *sighs* Still, I've had a very enjoyable Australian Open. :) I think the four top guys all earned the holiday I think they're all taking for the next couple of weeks. *pets them, especially poor Roger*

*deep breath* Bring on the week of work!

How *fun*... ;)
