Burning the Candle at Both Ends

For the entirety of my freshman year I saw this quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay on the wall of my english class and it seems to have ingrained itself in my brain: "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!" Today I am burning the candle at both ends, trying to accomplish a number of tasks. When I started to feel overwhelmed to the point of collapse, I decided it was time to stop, fill up the tub, and just relax for a little while. Now, back to work!
