on hiatus

i've been m.i.a. for a bit, but i am back, at least i hope so. i will spare you the whiny excuses about not having enough time and being overwhelmed, this is what i signed up for. i think i would be more concerned if i was not stressed out, i would be pissed actually that i was spending so much money and feeling like i wasn't getting anything out of this experience.

so, i am trying to set a schedule and stick with it. this will be the a practical skill that i can use in multiple areas of my life. i know some bad ass people who manage to do so much work and still find a healthy balance with family, and their physical and mental health (at least it looks that way from an outsider's perspective). so, what will i do differently? i am creating a schedule and i am going to try my hardest to stick to it. i have a loose schedule now, but I typically find distractions and excuses to do other things as a way to avoid getting work done. and at this point in the semester i cannot continue to veer too far off course. it just ends up being worse in the end. i have work that needs to get done and it can go one of two ways, i either pace myself and get stuff done in a productive and timely manner, or i can procrastinate and stress myself out and be anxious and uncomfortable and crabby and self-conscious. i like the sound of the first option, but like anything, its work. and its easier said than done, but i am going to try.
