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!
