I happen to like Kaila Yu's music. Yes it's a guilty pleasure ;) But...I never expected that her music would make an eerily appropriate soundtrack to my own life, even temporarily.
I've always been a passionate person...something that I sometimes have to fight in check. Too much passion can lead to unnecessary drama, and I hate drama. Except, I'm in the thick of way too much drama. Unexpected drama. There is more going on than I have control over, which is incredibly aggravating.
What I can control is a set of tasks. Cumulatively, however, they are an enormous amount of work. It all needs to be done, and done soon...but I don't know what the deadline is. Its a ticking time bomb but I don't have the luxury of knowing how much time I have to diffuse it.
The Friday before Memorial Day is the goal I set for myself. I hope I have that long. It will be a stretch for me to complete everything by that time, but school starts up right after Memorial Day weekend and I really don't want to go in to my next semester with this hanging over my head.
Its rare that I take vacation time, but I've put in for several days off to take care of this. Which...is really infuriating. I'd rather spend my vacation time in a secluded spot on the Maine shoreline than to spend it running around Massachusetts, but I don't have much of a choice. I'm glad I have the time banked but this sure wasn't how I wanted to spend it.
Enough moping...time to get back to work.
I want my 'normal' life back, dammit.

Hang in there kid. Music means so much to us because it does speak to our common experiences. Ride the wave as best you can.
