Elevated cortisol levels

Lombard research has been put on the back burner, and all focus is currently on my grant proposal. The research proposal section is lacking, and needs to be much better by Sunday morning, so that I can make a powerpoint about it in the afternoon, because I have concert tickets for the evening. Monday I present my proposal idea to my lab group so they can give feedback before I present the "real thing" to the behavior group on Friday. Oh, and I have to have final drafts of all three essays (personal statement, previous research experience, and research proposal) by Friday. This is more a self/advisor imposed deadline than anything, but it's still a deadline.

My advisor is predicting late nights this week. I am predicting no nights. :( I have homework (a weekly essay and weekly stats homework) to do too. And a committee meeting to prepare for and conduct. I'd like to think it gets better from here, but I don't think it does...
