Why am I so tierd?

My mind is spinning round in circles from all the things I have to do all at once. It would be so much easier if I could focus on one thing at once.
But anyway, I've now done the treatment, narration script and interview questions. I don't know if they're any good or not but I'm happy with them at least. I feel I have the right vision now so I can start recruiting people. I only have two months to finish, and the troubles I had at the beginning have severly held me back but I think I might just be able to do it. I just won't have time to send the film off to fesivals like I'd hoped. I'll get it done, even if I have to do quick interviews with a camcorder, or spend several sleepless nights in the editing suite.
I've been dallying with the script and wasn't too happy with it at first, but I had an idea today to have a person in an LDR as the narrator, to give it a deeply personal touch like many other documentaries I've seen. The first option would be to do it myself. I haven't looked over the footage from the screen test yet but I'm pretty sure I won't like the sound of my own voice. However, my boyfriend has done some voice acting before and he's brilliant at it. He'd be perfect!
Also, my dad gave me some money for a new laptop and there was a bit left over so I've bought my own camcorder! It should make things a little easier. If I'm going to be a film maker then I'm going to need my own video camera!
Alright, now let's get this film made! Sometimes I fear that I'm dissilusioned and that there's no way I can pull this off in two months, but I squash that little voice and stay confident.
