This sucks

Man.. I'm stressed. I have my graduate school work which includes doing my research, taking classes, attending about 5 to 6 hours of meetings a week, I work a job where I am managing another prof's research project which entails reading a bunch of articles, managing 7 undergraduates, checking over their work, preparing biweekly meetings for those meetings...
I swear I've been staying up late every night and waking up early. I used to love jogging and now I don't even have time for that. And worst of all, lately me and the misses have been fighting. I love her, but I do need some me time every now and then and I don't know how to believe that this does not in any way mean I don't want to spend time with her. I know she must feel we don't spend much time together, but when I'm really tense I need both spending time with her and on my own doing my own thing whether it be jogging, a game, etc..
This is not me wife bashing, because I know how she feels. I felt the same way when she was finishing her masters degree. We were living about 6 hours apart then and I hardly ever spoke with her. But still... man this sucks :badmood: :hissy: :soapbox: :timebomb: :banghead:

I feel bad about complaining... I know a lot of people are in a much less fortunate situation. I just need to learn to handle the stress.

i hear you man, when i get busy with school things with me and my girlfriend tend to go downhill. when we get some free time and see each other things always get better.
good luck working through it, school ends here at the end of april, so you always have something to look forward to.

I've got some advice for you. Don't graduate. It only gets worse when you start your professional career. When I was in the Army I though, man, life couldn't get any hectic than this. Then I went college. In college I felt like, man, life can't get any more hectic than this. Then I graduated... It just keeps getting more hectic, more responsibility, more obligations, etc...

Ah, yes. Most of us refer to this as 'life.'
Hang in there. It has its perks. You just need to take steps to maximize the good stuff and minimize the bad stuff.
