New Job: Skilled Juggler

Fact:
This semester is causing me to learn to be a skilled juggler. So far, so good.

Not even one full week into the semester and I can honestly say homework and I are the best of friends. That is, if you consider the definition of best friends: spending most every waking minute together.

So, why will I become a skilled juggler this semester you ask? Well, for the first half of the semester about 70-80% of my homework is due on Thursdays. So, this means I must juggle staying ahead. I also must juggle work and the activities of the week. But, most importantly, I will be that kid on Sunday afternoons doing homework for Thursday because by that point I will have already accomplished Monday and Tuesday's homework. Note: I just said that by Sunday afternoon I will have Monday and Tuesday's homework done. This is a goal, and I plan to stick to it.

Since no day in my schedule is the same this semester, I not only will be a skilled juggler, but I will also have an incredible memory for what happens on what day. However, the fear of me getting confused on what day it is looms.

However, all of that sounds super pessimistic and that is not what I want to convey today at all. I am happy being back with friends. It truly is wonderful being able to catch up with everyone. Even the lovely Kristen Nymeyer and I had to catch up because although we have the same hometown and college we managed to spend almost 6 weeks without seeing each other.

This semester is also a semester of firsts. I'm not so proud to say it, but yesterday was the first time I ever went to Sunday Night Worship. It was incredible to be able to worship with a small group on campus and let me tell ya, after reading taxes and accounting all day, it was so refreshing to be able to sing some praises to our Lord! Along with that first, I am going to attempt to take time for myself and time for little things like SNW. With this busy, crazy schedule taking time out to be with people and to praise the Lord will be the perfect cure.

This past weekend I spent time relaxing, watching Big Bang Theory and organizing my planner with all of my syllabi. Then, on Saturday Josh half-surprised me. (He told me Friday night that he was planning on surprising me). We got to go to a basketball game, eat at the caf (popcorn chicken bowl...who can resist that?), and go to Tastee-Freeze. Yes, Mom, I will yet again remind you that if you want a cake batter shake you MUST come visit me. :)

Well, I better get back to the lovely Taxes homework that I have been working on.
