hm... school... bleh... i've got nothing interesting to say... hm... well, i need to learn how to manage my time so i can do everything i want to. how do you balance college life (classes, reading, studying, eating, sleeping, extra-curricular meetings, sports, etc.) with finding time to hang out with friends? there's so many people that want to hang out with me and people i'd like to hang out with. for example, i want to spend time with becky before she goes back to MA, my three wonderful ates, sis & ash b/c i haven't seen them for so long, my tita michele who keeps encouraging me to come by sometime for dinner, etc etc etc.. yeah, i know i could do it on the weekends (hang out with friends), but i always go back home and my mom always has other plans for me. for instance, this weekend there's a PAAT picnic (so anyone that wants to go should!) at their pavillion at the PCFI that i'm going to and most other times my family wants me to spend time with them at home b/c i'm gone for most of the week. i totally understand that and even want to do just that, but i just feel bad not being able to make time whenever i want so i can hand out with other people. but i understand that you must sacrifice things you want to do for things you need to do.. my future is in stake, so i know i must force myself to read boring chapter after chapter for hours on end, even if it kills me.. it just sucks sometimes... its alot if you look at the whole thing.. my problem is, i need to learn how to look and take things one step at a time b/c i usually get stressed out when i tell myself i have 6 chapters to read and 2 papers due in 2 days and it's just going to get worse as i move on into my college career. oh well, that's life, but life is still good. alrighty, well, i just used up about an hour of reading time venting but it needs to be done once in a while.. it's the reason why people have journals/diarys, right?
life is good.
God bless,
Melissa :) :) :)
