Trees, books, and anxiety

I helped mom put up her Christmas tree yesterday - it looks beautiful as usual and I was saddened to have to leave. Spending the week with her always makes me miss the old days when I lived at home. She came back to the dorm with me and we put up my Christmas tree - it's a cheapie little $20 one but it is pretty. You can see a pic of it on the previous post - its a pic from the past year - but it's the same tree.

I am working hard at the presentation for Rhetorical theory - but I wonder if I started too late. I volunteered to present this Thursday, but I'm almost kicking myself for that. My ideas are in such a jumble. Tomorrow night I'm out a couple hours because of meetings and Tuesday too. Wednesday will have to be my saving day - but I hate doing something last minute. And then I have to find time for grading my last papers. I need to have them done before we start panel-presentations in my class. Oh the time - i miss time. If you have seen any extra hours laying around - please place them inside an envelope and send them my way. I really need the help.

Anxiety - it goes without saying. Here's a list:
