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.

Cool that you like it, and that they like you. It's a tough term for all of us. I'm hoping things will ease up again in November, but you know me... I'm always looking forward to easier times that don't really seem to come.
