    Ahhhhh!

    I’m in grad school. I need to pass this very difficult (for me class). It feels like it’ll be the end of me. I truly am lost in this class. This is my last required class before I can submit to pass my entrance exams to be in dissertation phase.

    My research idea got funded. Now I need to figure out how to execute and hire people that won’t just waste the budget. I’m the first one on my team to win a grant like I did (it’s a big deal: 3 years of funding). So everyone is giving me big kudos. Like… save it for when I get results!

    Good problems I think. But my stress level is at the max and I feel like I’m drowning with more and more responsibilities keep me from swimming ashore.

      Congratulations on the grant! I can understand the pressure you feel now, but don’t forget that getting the grant in the first place is itself quite an achievement. If nothing else, take a moment to be proud of yourself for that.
      It also means that you at the very least have a rather good idea of what you want to do with that money, and what more could one ask for at the start of a new project?
