What are my expectations for myself?

I've been working a little too hard, trying to keep up with everything for school and with my other obligations, but I am realizing how much I need to look for efficiencies wherever I can. It's hard to lower my expectations for myself.

Some of the time when I've stayed up late to finish work, I feel like it's completely worth it, as I really want to learn all I can now while I'm a still a student. I think that my categories have been too sharply drawn though.
As teacher, I will always be a student.

One thing that was missing from my teaching metaphor, the elephant shrew, is that even though it may have never been observed by human eyes, it surely spends time sleeping.

So off I go.
