Going back to school after the holidays is usually brutal, to say the least. Getting projects started and fighting the oncoming deluge of work whilst fighting the urge to procrastinate can be a challenge. This mix illustrates the extremes of these feelings: the excitement of starting new things and looking ahead, and the dread we can sometimes feel when getting back in the swing of things.
