I’m so exhausted from my full schedule at school and all the stuff with the kids that after breakfast at the diner on Saturday morning, I went back to bed for two hours. I never do that. Instead of prepping for classes in the afternoon, I watched four back-to-back episodes of Prison Break that I had rented from Blockbusters. I never do that. I have to get my act together tomorrow and make up for Saturday’s crash.

Slightly recovered, I had Palm Sunday dinner at my sister’s today. An alarming number of family members are teachers and professors, so we griped about grading papers over coffee and cheese cake. My sister in law mentioned an article in the Times about the pressure on young women to super achievers. Bitch PhD is talking about the article, too.

Are things out of hand? Where is all this pressure coming from? Are guys working this hard, too? Now, I really have to get back to my lecture on elections.
