No time...

I'm really not liking the fact that I don't have the time available to me like I used to have... I get up at 6, gone by 7. I'm at work/school usually until 8 at night each day. Sometimes later or eariler, but not by much. So that gives me about 4 hours to eat dinner, do my homework, and do something for me... Lately it's been eat, homework, then an hour of gaming if I have the time.

What's starting to eat at me (ask Totem, she sees it in my face daily) is that I used to have time to do more than just that... I could clean the house, work on the Linux box, spend some time with Totem, work on my website, all in one day and still have some time left over. Now I bearly can do anything. If you're even thinking of asking why I'm playing a game instead of spending time with Totem it is because she usually goes to bed at 10 and I play when she is asleep... And I can do homework at midnight. I'm a night owl, but Math/Physics/Statics/COMPLEX_CRAP is not my friend after 10PM...

It's really starting to wear me down having to come home and know that I'm not going to get anything done... Even on the weekends, I'm always busy. That's why I've neglected my blog every weekend this month... I just want some more me time like I used to have. And by me, I mean doing things that I can directly see the effects and results of. Now working on 3 hours homework problems that I just might see 20 years down the line in th workplace... I'm hoping that when the second summer session starts I'll have a little more time becuase I'm only taking a 101 class. I'm still getting home after 7 every night though... :\

Hey, I understand ... I spent hours this weekend riding my bicycle ... why? 'cause I didn't get a chance to do anything other than work massive overtime through the week, eat, and sleep. Spending some time outdoors, getting some much needed exercise was what I needed to keep from going crazy ...

It feels like I'm ignoring my friends ... I know at least a couple of them feel that way. Well, I tried, I asked them to go biking, but they know from previous outings that such a trip is frustrating for either them, me, or both ... I'm not in great shape, but if I am biking with the intent of exercise I won't think of turning around and heading back until I'm several miles away from where I started ... I'm guessing I only totaled about 30 miles this weekend, but some of that was on serious hills ... it felt great to me, but some of my friends would need to be hospitalized for even attempting it.

Sorry, I wandered off topic. Take the weekend time you need to mentally recover from school and work ... and don't feel guilty about it.

*hugs*

Thanks for the kind words. And the hug. ;) I'm really trying to do that one the weekends... It just never works out that way. I'm really hoping that when I get through this summer session, things will cool down a lot. I hope. Plus I have a minor vacation planned so maybe that will help... I can't really talk about it because I'm surprising Totem... But hopefully it will be fun.

That's about the only thing that I've been able to really plan and work on though this summer... One of these days I'll learn to say no.
