TOO MUCH WORK

I've got a class hounding me, I'm several chapters behind in the
reading, I've missed a whole series of lectures, I haven't even got a
chance of doing the problem set that's due tomorrow, our most recent
project is a week late and the extension runs out tomorrow at 5, and I
haven't done the reading I'm going to need to do the next project,
which is due in a week.
At the same time, Project Athena code cut date is Real Soon Now, I'm
supposed to be feverishly working on bug fixes to be installed in the
release, and I've got to choose between working on the bugs and
getting them into the release, and working on my class and getting a
better grade.
The worst thing about it is that even if I choose my class, it's quite
possible that I won't have enough time to do what needs to get done
properly, thus leaving more work for my partners and letting them
down, something which I am loath to do.
I have this time in the term. I really hate it.
