Flood

Life is just a wee bit overwhelming right now. Not bad, just overwhelming. I always think I've got things under control on Monday and Tuesday, and because stuff is okay, I hang out with people instead of working ahead. Then by the time Wednesday comes I know I'm in trouble and by Thursday I'm completely sunk. On Friday by the time I'm done my classes I'm just a ball of "I'm 200 pages behind!" stress. It's too bad because I actually really like my classes this semester and I'm really happy with the relationships I'm building, but keeping up with both school and friends is a bit of a challenge. I find that it really it stresses me out lately when people are late, because I spend that half hour or whatever sitting around waiting and thinking about the extra 10 pages I could have read or the reading response I could have finished up. I hate it, but I can't help it.

Nevertheless, God is good. And like I said, it's not that the work is bad or the people are bad - both are great. It's just difficult keeping them both up. I wish sometimes that I had one of those eight hour jobs where you go to work and work hard, but when you go home you completely forget about your work and just enjoy your time off. While I'm a student I can never shake the feeling that I should be reading or writing or working ahead (if only I could catch up where I'm behind).

Summer is going to be epic.
