ticking time bomb

I'm really stressed right now. I just want this week to be over. For some reason I'm developing spring time allergies now. It's never bothered me before, but I feel like all day long my nose is constantly running and my eyes hurt. As soon as I walk outside, it's amplified like nobody's business. I'm also super exhausted for the past three or so days. I feel like thinking about the interview is making me restless as night. I can't get comfortable and I'm waking up a lot easier than usual. I've taken some benedryll but it's contributing to the exhaustion factor.

I am confident this will ease up some after this week, when the stress of the interview is over but gosh, making it until Friday is killing me. I'm really freaked out about what they're going to ask me during the interview. I don't want to stumble on my words, draw a blank, or not be able to answer something. I'm also worried that when it comes time for me to ask questions, I'm going to ask something silly. If you think I'm being dramatic, I'd be GLAD to send you some information on graduate school interviews that will show you that my stress response is normal. I'm just sick of feeling like I'm trying SO hard to get ahead and prepared, and feeling like I'm falling short still.

I have a mock interview with one of the graduate students in my lab today. That's also freaking me out because I'm trying to prepare my responses so that the time will be utilized effectively, but again, I can't freaking think straight because my head feels like it's all stuffed up.

I wish I wasn't so tired. I feel like I can't think clearly, and I have SO much to get done this week. It's making me panic. Spring break isn't coming fast enough.
