Hello? Is This Thing On?

I was wondering when I would see me around these parts again. Actually this blog is my home page, so I come here all the time. And I keep telling myself, 'self, you need to post some time soon. I mean just look at all the stuff that has happened since your last post. You have some many things you could write about.' But the response always comes back, 'your right. A lot of stuff has happened...and is still happening. In fact, I need to go work on some of that stuff right now.' So in the end, no post is made.
This has been a really rough month as far as...well, everything is concerned. I have such a packed schedule full of classes, activities--mandatory and otherwise, work, and friends. It's been really hard to keep up with everything. Actually, I haven't really been keeping up. It's been more like I'm tagging along just behind. Things will ebb and flow. I'll get ahead, and fall behind, over and over. I ended up dropping a class because there was just too much stuff. So I'm hoping that now I'll be able to get things caught up for good. I seriously think that I could stay ahead of the game. The only problem is that with my crazy schedule it will take some time to get to that point.
I was ahead of things at one point. Then one of my teachers switched things up and threw in a couple assignments. That then started a chain reaction leading to my falling right back behind.
The sad thing is that it's not just one class that I'm not catching on to. It's the lack of time spent working on every class that then leads to poor quality work in all my classes.
I'm not going to freak out though. That would only take more time and create unneeded stress. God can get me through this. Only God can get me through this well.

In other news, I'm really likin' my new job. I'm an A/V technician. I run sound for different events and chapel. Actually, I'm still in training. So I don't technically run it. So far I basically just help. But I think I'm picking things up fairly quickly. It's so much fun too. I think this job is a good fit for me. On the one hand it is a lot of work, it provides a challenge, it requires a good deal of focus. But it also doesn't involve a whole lot of social interaction. I don't say this to mean that I don't like being around people. It's just nice--as an introvert--to have some time in the day where I can step out of the social light and do something that I enjoy doing without using all the energy it takes for me to be in social situations. Sure, I work with people, but it's kind of different. It's hard to explain. Just suffice it to say, I like my job.

Slackerness

Starting at noon today I am going to be in three classes in a row, the third of which has requested that I bring a two page paper--of my own writing--on the importance of history in the life of a christian. As of right now I have no such paper. I know, I'm a slacker. Why am I posting on my blog right now instead of working on my paper? The answer to that is simply this, the computer is not cooperating with my thumb-drive. I started my paper and planned on finishing it during this time slot. However, once I got here I found out that this computer has decided to be really stubborn.
So, I've pretty much accepted the fact that I am not going to have a paper ready in time for the class.
Why didn't I do the paper over the weekend? Well, this was actually a really weird weekend. See, usually when people come to college they move in at least one or two days before classes actually start. No home work, nothing they need to work on right away. Just move in and get ready for the year. Well, I did that. It was great. I was ready and everything. Then I was thrown a curve ball.
I was living in one of the dorms on campus. Then probably the second day of school my room mate was offered one of the on campus apartments. So, we decided to move over there. Saturday was full of packing. Sunday was full of moving. Long story short, it was a crazy weekend, and I was very tired. I tried. I did what I could. I even have half a page done. I had a plan to finish. But life happens. No use stressing over it.
Granted, I'm sure there was probably more time this weekend than I thought. I'm not saying that this is not my fault. It is my fault. I'm a slacker. God and I need to work on that. But for now, the deed is done, and I'm willing to accept the consequences. It's only one assignment. Life isn't over. I just got to keep working, and really focus.
Laters.
