Waiting to complete my holistic assessment demonstration final.

Should be studying, but am not. (Surprise, surprise.)

Feel frail, unsteady. Hate that all the effort put into holding it all together is so easily and quickly overcome by such small things.

Or maybe it is that in the midst of doing it all there is no time to be overwhelmed. It's in the breaks, the still moments, that it catches up.

Stop paddling so frantically and realize how high the water really is.
