I don't like to be behind because if I'm already behind and something out of the ordinary happens it will really be stressful. However, trying to keep up can be stressful as well, so it's kind of a no-win situation. So, in this case, I've chosen to live with the stress of keeping up knowing it's short-term. I'm also learning to not put expectations on myself that my supervisor isn't putting on me. I now delay classes to do clerical stuff that will build up over time.
