I sometimes wish there were more of me to go around. I know the thought's frightening to those of you who have met me, but I really would like Calvin & Hobbes' Duplicator right about now.

And here I thought that, once summer came, my workload would LIGHTEN. Yeah, I should've known better.

Here I am with: a paper left over from the fall semester that should be something like 30 pages long and needs to be finished soon to avoid an 'F' in the friggin' class; a website that's unfinished and needs to BE finished so I can go ahead and launch it; a book that I'm writing that I'm on a deadline to finish by August 22; and a job that needs me to output even MORE writing before the first week in July.

I feel like quoting Prince Humperdink: "I'm swamped!"

Little piece of good news to go with the bad; I got an old server (circa 2003) for heap-cheap off eBay, so that'll make getting the website up and running that much easier. It'll probably only be able to handle maybe three people at a time, but that's acceptable to me. I just need the damn thing up-and-running as a proof of concept...and maybe to play around with it a little, tweak some settings and whatnot, just to see what happens.

I've also learned a lot more about servers in the two days I spent configuring my Apache server on Linux than I ever cared to learn before that point. A lot more than I wanted to know. Who knows; maybe it'll come in handy sometime.

Or not.

Well, here's the irony - all this writing that I need to do, and here I am writing a journal on DeviantArt.

I think I'll go ram my head into a wall until it's a pulp. (The wall, that is - my head will always be harder than a wall.)
