Just a little update...

I don't have too much time for a long update..which is kind of the story as to why this blog is getting updated less often.

The quarter is still extremely busy, but its manageable. The course-load hasn't changed, but my mentality has. It takes a lot of organization, an effort to minimize procrastination and the acceptance that I will just have less free-time to do what I want.

Normally on weekends I like to be as lazy as possible. Sometimes friends come over, sometimes I hang out with my roommate, sometimes I just nap and play games and watch TV shows. Either way, I rarely leave the apartment. The sun coming out corresponds well with my need to not just stay in my apartment. For instance, yesterday I had a group project meeting on campus. I decided to walk instead of take the bus. It was a wonderful decision. It was like it was a break and something fun to do outside, plus it was productive. On the way back I walked with one of the group members who is also a friend, so I got socialization in as well. That plus the necessary grocery shopping, it turned into a very productive Saturday afternoon.

Its 6pm and I've already done my Quebec HW, my Lit HW and my political-song class HW. All I have left is reading for Psych and Sociolinguistics, and preparing my portion of a group project for my first presentation on Friday.

I wanted to take a break and either go on a walk with Lindsay or go play frisbee with Sandy, but both said no. I think my desire to go outside is stronger than others. :) I mean, they were doing HW, and if I went and played outside I would have to do HW later into the night, so its actually good to not go out and play. But still sad. :)

Ok, so here is what my week looks like as far as I can tell:

Monday:
Class/work -- 8am - 3pm

Telling you guys my schedule for the week goes with the "organization" thing I was referring to earlier. Its really just for me. :)
