How am I going to do it all?!

Is anyone else finding it difficult to balance NaNoWriMo with everyday life? And how are you getting through it?

I, myself, am considering giving up sleep. After all, it's for a good cause... right? :P

Yeah...an extra 2000 words a day don't fit nicely into my schedule. The thing is, we all waste time on stuff. I take great pleasure in wasting time, most of the year. Not November! In November I write on the subway, in bed. I never think about 50 000 words, only doing a few hundred at a time. It can be done!

If I get all my assignments done the day they are assigned (five classes this semester),
that leaves 14 days of 'no school' this month at my University,

I figure to pour the words on those days and just squeak by by the 30th.

I'm a first year Freshmen English teacher. That's 3 strikes right there ("first year," "Freshmen," and "English" being what is probably the worst combination for creating a lack of life). So if I can do it, anyone can :P .

24 credit hours (don't ask), no job at present, but I should be working on applications to transfer to other schools this month. And working on two term papers. Aaaah!

Between school, work, artwork, other interests, and NaNo, there's plenty of times that I feel like I'm never going to get it all done. All I can do is keep the faith and a complete refusal to give up on my twisted little word baby. It may be kind of ugly, it may make my life harder then it has to be, but it's MY little word baby, and I'm going to see it through to the end.

I just picked up yet ANOTHER day at one of my jobs. -.-'

It's interesting to see everyone else's schedule. (I know you said not to ask, but TWENTY-FOUR credit hours?! Eek!) I'm rooting for us busy kids - we'll make it to that finish line! I know it!
