I'm Failing

Ok I'm totally failing at my resolutions. Thank you Elyse for reminding me. =D

So the semester has officially started. A semester, might I add, that will be the last in my undergrad!! Yepp, I petitioned to graduate earlier this week. While I'm pretty excited to be done, but it is a little nerve racking, to be honest, to know that I now have to look for a job in this wonderful economy and job market.

So we've got one week down. And from what I can tell from this one week, it is not going to be an easy semester. Not that my classes seem particularly difficult, but geezum, I am just so busy.

I haven't been to my job at UMPI since my car was taken off the road at Thanksgiving. Therefore, I have a ridiculous amount of hours to make up. They want me to work 20-25 hours a week there. Plus I usually get about 25 hours at the Theater. Full-time work, can't complain about that, except for the fact that I also have four 400-level classes.

So I plotted out my schedule and it is pretty much crammed full. I work throughout the day at UMPI, breaking for classes here and there, and then go to work at the Braden at night. I must have stared at it for 20 minutes calculated when I would have time to do things like laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, homework... and I just don't know how I'm suppose to make it all fit. Not to mention that other lofty resolution of mine, to get in shape... When the hell am I suppose to find time to go to the gym AND have time to shower after before my next commitment? ha!

I was exhausted just thinking about it, but by the fourth day actual exhaustion set in. I was in the student lounge waiting for my mother to come pick me up, as I still do not have a car, and my phone rings. It's Rachel. We are on the executive board for Momentum Aroostook together. She has just called to ask if I have any interest in taking over the chair position on the board. I must have laughed for a good two minutes before answering, "Yeah, right! When?" She understood, but asked if I would revisit the notion in May when I graduate... hmmm, we'll see.

I managed to dodge that bullet, but not 24 hours later did I receive a visit from our lovely city planner, Jaime. He has apparently resolved the issue which I used as an excuse to stay away from the Presque Isle Downtown Revitalization Committee. And he would now like me to join. I told him I would make an effort to make it to a meeting, but I would not take on any formal positions... arg.

Oh and Holly keeps harassing me about being more active in the College Democrats... nope. Sorry, ain't hap-nin'.

In my adjustment week I have fallen off the weight-loss wagon. We'll try again next week. In the mean time though, I've put the whole family on daily vitamins. With all this schedule juggling, we could use a little immunity boost. I also purchased a bunch of take-along type food which hopefully help cut out the eating of junk and unnecessary spending.

Now I just have to get up earlier to find the time to pack that lunch...
