So, I start my new job tomorrow. And I'm scared. I'm also super stressed out about moving to a new place (which is not ready as soon as I had anticipated) and writing this 20-page paper that is due on December 16. I feel like there is so much going on, that I can't concentrate on anything, and it makes me feel really out of control and anxious.

I've already had one major melt-down, and two smaller ones. More to come, I'm sure. I really just can't wait until I turn in my paper for my class - by then I won't be so scared about my new job, I will officially be in and we'll have most of our stuff moved into the new place, and I won't feel so guilty trying to juggle so much at once and neglecting something important.

One thing I am actually planning on neglecting, because I just have so little time and no permanent digs set up, is being healthy. I don't have a gym to go to in Ankeny or Ames yet, and I doubt I will be able (or willing) to eat terribly healthy for a while. So not only will I be super stressed, but well over my goal weight. Super. But I have been planning for it and mentally preparing myself, and I know how to get back on track once my life is settled down more.

Please, please wish me luck [and sanity] in these next few weeks. I can use all that I can get.
