I think I'm actually starting to crack from the pressure of having more work to do than is physically possible in a week. How do people do this

Yes, grad school needs it's tag. You just work and work and work and eventually you finish. Also, you very quickly reach the point where you say, "You know what, asshat professor? I know you wanted 15 pages on these 140 lines of poetry, but you're gonna get 12, and you're gonna give me an A."
a) a world of yes b) i think i'm there already. it's funny, actually, i'm taking a grad level physics course (on resource management). i basically talk my way around the problems, get numbers that aren't even in the same continent of "vaguely correct", and pass it in with smiley faces. c) they are all asshats. d) the only way i get anything done is by numbered lists e) happy almost-rosh hashana since i'm probably going awol for the rest of the week.
a) I'm skipping A. b) I like that you use smiley faces. Smiley faces are good. They show confidence. c) I once had a professor in grad school who wasn't an asshat. Although one day she did expect me to sit through two and a half hours on Virginia Wolfe. That was the day I drank Coke and vodka through class. She thought it was funny 2 and a half years later. d) You should go read my grad school tag. It's basically a collection of lists. Lists are good. e) A happy and healthy new year to you!
a) you could have made up A! b) like i'm changing b to be YAY because Rose <3. c) my reaction to that is: wait, that just means it's tuesday, right? actually, that would not fly 'round these parts. english ba = happy hippies and international development ba = uptight. except for Econ CrazyPants who will happily discuss macro politics over a beer, but who has time when some idiot over-assigned? d) last summer I made a lot of lists, and because it amused my roommate, I numbered them in binary. we covered one of the walls in our room with recycled paper and invited people to come in and write on our "wall". Suck it, Facebook. e) seriously ... it was like a wall-sized magnetic board from college, but better. I think three months later, we never figured out some of the drunk doodles.
