College Daze

Of course the real burden of college has started this semester for me. The panic of fitting in everything in my busy life overwhelms me when I realize that things that I normally do, like laundry, washing dishes, vacuuming, sleeping, eating, etc. all get pushed to the wayside as work and college collide. Unfortunately by this Saturday I will have worked 12 out of the past 14 days, and had about 3-4 hours of sleep each night. Which is entirely my own fault, but sleep doesn't seem to matter as much lately. I used to need an extreme 8 hours of sleep each night to function. The fun part is maybe I don't realize that I'm not functioning, hopefully lack of sleep has helped me to miss the things I would see if I was functioning on high capacity. Maybe I am more focused on the issues at hand in my life instead of worrying about the dishes in the sink or the fact that I can't find any clean jeans. I always have been on the side of perfectionism and when I started college I was so worried that I would not be able to get any studying done because in my mind the housework would need to be done before the other, more important, things. I guess what I am trying to say is that I love this high pace, never rest life that I am in right now. Who knows, I may even miss it one day!

Where I get my best thinking done

Halfway down the stairs"(written by A.A. Milne, sung by Robin on The Muppet Show)

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top.
So this is the stair where I always stop.
Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts run round my head.
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead.
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top.
So this is the stair where I always stop.

Here it is

Well, I've given in to the whole bloggin' thing. I guess that I thought that my time wasn't quite spent on enough activities at this point in my life and I needed a little extra to add to my list of things I can't miss out on. I'll probably never slow down to the pace that I'd like to someday envision for the future so I may as well embrace the fact. One of the main decisions in doing this is the new laptop I ordered that I hope to recieve tomorrow, hurray! I told my husband that I am probably one of the few females on the earth to be so excited about electronics, more than most at least. So this new venture should be exciting if I can ever find the time to collect my thoughts and get them out in words.
