So back to my really hard life.
I feel like I’m in high school again, completely incapable of saying no to any opportunity presented to me, whether big or small. Those days, I remember well. Choir? Sure, I’ll join. Spanish club? Free tacos, why not? Volunteering at church? I have to. It’s for Jesus. An extra, extra credit assignment? Well, I do like credit. Back then, I hung out with the overachievers and while I scheduled like they did (bring on the resume-boosters!), I wasn’t, um, what’s that word … smart like they were. I remember feeling helplessly overwhelmed in the mess I would make for myself. My world was run by bottles of Coke, whining sessions with friends and scribbled to-do lists on my left hand. Today, things aren’t much different, except that I drink Diet.
I think the reason why I overscheduled myself this month is because I was so bored last month. The stagnant state of not doing anything to enrich my life makes me antsy and slightly depressed. I guess that’s why I’m trying to make up for it this month. And now I want to jump out the window.
But I’ll get through it, I always do, bless the angels above and the caffeine below. And then in November (birthday month!), I’ll rest and be sloth-like once again. And then in December, well … who doesn’t overschedule in December?
Make sure you take some time for yourself to just relax and breathe!
This brings up a good question… can Caffeine be canonized?
Now that I have TV, I have something to do every night! But nothing makes me feel worse than saying, “don’t call me when Heroes is on.”
We are halfway through. The month is almost over!
“My world was run by bottles of Coke, whining sessions with friends and scribbled to-do lists on my left hand” You forgot to include the part about funny drawings & comic strips…
I think we should get together and talk about our feelings. Oh? Too busy? Darn. I tried.
