Overwhelmed :(

Today was the first day since I started working full-time that I genuinely felt overwhelmed by the amount of things I had to do. It's like my brain couldn't function and I just felt like crying. It was so discouraging to see my list of things and realize it's hardly dwindling down.

It didn't help that I have a deadline caused by myself, essentially, since I'm taking next week off to relax. But honestly, is it so hard to get someone else that's free to help out on the job? I regret distinguishing myself as a "high-performer" amongst my seniors and managers because it just means they expect that much more from me. Sometimes, I just can't handle it, like today clearly showed. I ended up working busy season hours (aka, not the usual 8 hours, but closer to 10) just to give my future-self some peace of mind.

On the other hand, I had a dentist appointment this morning, and thankfully, had no cavities! Almost 24 years cavity free! Congrats to me, myself, and I, haha :) I will definitely be getting drunk tomorrow night in order to compensate for this extremely long and arduous week.
